What does organising a reunion involve?
Organising a reunion is one of the most meaningful things a group can do together. Whether it's a class reunion, a family day, a sports club anniversary or a friend group gathering — the moment people reconnect after years or decades is something they remember forever.
But behind that unforgettable evening lies a lot of organisation. Where? When? How many people? How do we collect money? How do we communicate? How do we manage who's coming and who isn't? For many organisers, the logistics can overshadow the fun — especially when it's all done through group chats, spreadsheets and WhatsApp messages.
Mijn Reünie bundles all of this into one platform. In 5 minutes you have a reunion website with your own web address. Guests register directly, pay online if needed, and get a QR ticket. During the event, scan at the door, run the LiveWall on the big screen, and collect all photos in shared albums afterwards.
This guide walks through everything — from the concept phase to after the event — so you know exactly what's involved and how to approach each step.
Organise a reunion in 9 steps
From the first idea to after the reunion. Follow these steps and you won't miss anything.
Decide the concept
Who is the reunion for? Former classmates, family, colleagues, club members? Define the target audience, estimated number of guests and the occasion.
Set a date
Choose a date 3 to 6 months in advance. Check for conflicting events (school holidays, public holidays, other large events) and block it immediately.
Find a venue
The venue depends on the number of guests, the type of reunion and the available budget. Options range from a local hall to a restaurant or outdoor location.
Create your reunion website
With Mijn Reünie your website is live in 5 minutes. Your own web address, date, location, welcome text, photos — and optional ticket sales via iDEAL.
Set up registrations and ticket sales
Enable registrations on the website. Add ticket types with price and capacity. Guests can pay directly via iDEAL or Bancontact — money goes straight to your account.
Promote and invite
Share the reunion website via WhatsApp, email and social media. Add a news update with a countdown to build excitement.
Manage the run-up
Track registrations in your dashboard. Send reminders, add updates, adjust the programme. All from one place.
Run the event

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I start organising a reunion?
Ideally 3 to 6 months before the event. This gives guests enough time to save the date, and gives you enough time to find a good venue, arrange catering and send invitations. For large reunions (100+ guests) even 6 to 12 months is advisable.
What does organising a reunion cost?
Costs vary widely depending on venue, catering and activities. The reunion website itself is free with Mijn Reünie — you only pay €1.50 per sold ticket. Many organisers pass ticket costs on to guests, so the event essentially pays for itself.
What is the best tool for organising a reunion?
Mijn Reünie is the most complete tool for Dutch and Belgian reunion organisers. It combines a reunion website, ticket sales via iDEAL, QR check-in, shared photo albums and an interactive LiveWall in one platform — completely free to start.
How do I find people for a reunion?
The most effective channels are WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups (class groups, alumni groups) and LinkedIn. Once you have a reunion website, share the link via these channels — people can forward it easily and register directly.
Can I also organise a small reunion?
Absolutely. Mijn Reünie works equally well for an intimate reunion of 10 people as for a large event with 500 guests. The free features are the same regardless of size.
Do guests need an account to register?
No. Guests fill in a registration form directly on the reunion website — without creating an account. Only the organiser needs an account to manage everything.
