GatherKin Helps Families Bring Reunion Planning Out of Group Chats

GatherKin brings household RSVPs, reunion dues, schedules and family updates into one shared hub, with free cookout events and affordable reunion plans.

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GatherKin, a family reunion planning platform founded by Shawn Moore, helps organizers replace scattered registration lists, payment updates and group-chat messages with one shared event hub. Available at gatherkin.app, the browser-based service gives relatives a single event link to register by household and access the information organizers publish for their gathering.

Family reunion planning often involves more than counting individual guests. Organizers may need to coordinate family branches, collect dues, assign supplies, share a weekend itinerary, and keep traveling relatives informed. GatherKin brings these activities into an organizer workspace while allowing families to participate from their phones without downloading an app.

The platform reflects Shawn's interest in helping families spend less time chasing details and more time connecting. Its household-based approach supports the practical work behind multigenerational gatherings, from local reunions to destination events.

GatherKin's free Cookout plan includes one active event, a shareable event page, household RSVPs, and a guest contact list.

Local Family Reunion subscriptions add online dues and add-on payments, assigned item checklists, multi-day schedules, automated email reminders, and list exports. Organizers can also choose optional registration questions for T-shirt sizes, meal needs, allergies, and volunteer help.

Remote Family Reunion subscriptions add travel and lodging details, installment payment tracking, traveler status and deadlines, and document and packing information. Paid reunion organizers connect their own Stripe payout account to receive payments from families. GatherKin is a planning platform, not a travel booking service or escrow provider.

Local subscriptions are available for $4 per month or $36 billed annually. Remote subscriptions are $9 per month or $84 billed annually. Annual prices are charged for the full year, rather than in monthly installments. Payment processing charges may apply separately to reunion dues.

Beyond the application, GatherKin provides a free Complete Family Reunion Planning Kit and a Planning Center with guides, templates, and interactive tools. Families can explore planning resources before deciding which features they need, and begin with a free Cookout event before choosing a paid reunion plan.
