Family reunion Websites provide great new opportunities to organize the planning of your event. They also allow family members to communicate, upload pictures, share information and stay in touch long after the reunion. These Web sites have different price structures and offer different features. Families can have as much detail or as little as they want, depending on the budget. Here are three family reunion Web sites for you to consider:
This inexpensive Web site offers a free trial and many features. Your family can have its own web address domain, which is free if it includes .myevent.com at the end, or you can upgrade membership to have an exclusive dot com ending with your family surname or name of your choice as the domain. Standard membership is $89 for a year, and that includes storage for 150 photos, 5 albums, 50 mb of extra files, event planning tools, video upload, quizzes, polls and a guest book. For the premium price of $129, you can also have a family tree, message board and budget tool in addition to all the other features of the standard package. Plus, there is more storage for photos and files.
This is the least expensive of the three in this review. Membership can be for 3 months to two years. The platinum membership for one year is $39, while basic is free. The basic membership includes the ability to post reunion event details, communicate with members, post profiles, videos, pictures and profiles. Platinum membership also includes a familyreunion.com home page, extra storage space for photos and videos, and larger profile capacity. This site seems good but offers less than the other websites.
This family reunion website is the most expensive, yet it offers the most detailed features to take your reunion from planning through after the event. A one-year membership costs $139.95 for 5,000 pictures or $159.95 for unlimited pictures. Included is a domain name with a dot-com ending, family member homepages with news blogs, family member listings including biographies, photos, facts and links, and family explorer online tools for researching family history. Other features include message boards, a reunion organizer, an event calendar, polls, a guestbook, a music player, birthday reminders and a powerful family tree maker. For the money, this Web site seems to be the best choice for sharing information and memories.
