Events
Plan family gatherings, track RSVPs, and never miss a birthday — all in one family calendar.
What are A2Me Events?
A2Me Events allow family members to create, share, and manage family gatherings with built-in RSVP tracking. Events can include a title, description, date and time, location, and cover image. Connected family members receive invitations and can respond with their attendance status.
The platform automatically generates recurring birthday events for all family members based on the birth dates in their profiles. These appear alongside manually created events in a timeline view, giving families a complete picture of upcoming occasions.
Events support visibility controls (family-wide or connection-specific), push notification reminders, and location details. They integrate with the broader A2Me ecosystem — birthday events connect to Birthday Cards, and event photos can be shared to the family feed.
Why It Matters
Coordinating family events typically involves group texts, scattered emails, or social media event pages mixed in with non-family content. RSVPs get lost, people miss updates, and there's no central record of family gatherings.
A2Me Events provide a dedicated, family-only space for planning. Everyone in the family sees the same event details, can RSVP in one place, and receives timely reminders. Automatic birthday events mean you never forget a family member's birthday — even for extended family you might not track otherwise.
How It Works
- 1
Create an event
Add a title, date, time, location, and description. Choose who can see it — your whole family or specific connections. Upload a cover image if desired.
- 2
Family receives invitations
Invited family members get a push notification with the event details. They can view the event and RSVP as attending, not attending, or maybe.
- 3
Track responses and send reminders
View a summary of all RSVPs. Send reminders to family members who haven't responded. A2Me sends automatic push reminders before the event date.
- 4
Browse the event timeline
View all upcoming and past events in a timeline. Automatic birthday events appear alongside your custom events, giving a complete family calendar view.
Example Usage
Scenario: The Martinez family is planning their annual summer reunion at a state park.
Uncle Carlos creates an event: "Martinez Family Reunion 2025" with the date, park address, and a description including what to bring. He sets visibility to the full family network (42 members across three generations).
Within a week, 28 family members RSVP as attending. Carlos can see that his cousin Ana hasn't responded, so he sends a reminder. Meanwhile, A2Me shows him that his niece Sofia's birthday falls the day after the reunion — he plans a surprise celebration.
After the reunion, family members share photos to the feed tagged with the event. The event becomes part of the family's history — viewable in the timeline alongside past reunions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of events can I create on A2Me?
You can create any family event including reunions, birthdays, holidays, dinners, trips, anniversaries, graduations, and custom events. Events support titles, descriptions, locations, dates/times, and cover images.
Are birthday events created automatically?
Yes. A2Me automatically generates recurring birthday events for all family members based on the birthday dates in their profiles. These appear in the event timeline and trigger reminders for connected family members.
How does RSVP tracking work?
When you create an event, invited family members can RSVP as attending, not attending, or maybe. The event creator can see a summary of all responses and send reminders to those who haven't responded.
Can I limit who sees an event?
Yes. Events have visibility controls. You can make an event visible to your entire family network or limit it to specific connections. This is useful for planning surprise parties or events that involve only certain family branches.
Do events send notifications and reminders?
Yes. A2Me sends push notifications when you're invited to an event, when the RSVP deadline approaches, and as reminders before the event starts. Notification timing is configurable in your notification settings.
Can I add a location to events?
Yes. Events support location information including addresses. Family members can see the event location and get directions. This is particularly useful for reunions or gatherings at venues family members haven't visited before.
