GatherKin Launches Centralized Platform for Family Reunions

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- GatherKin, a family reunion planning platform founded by Shawn Moore, has introduced a user-friendly solution to streamline the organization of family gatherings. The platform, accessible at gatherkin.app, offers a centralized hub for organizers to manage household RSVPs, reunion dues, schedules, and family updates, all while allowing relatives to participate from their phones without downloading an app.

GatherKin's approach to family reunion planning is designed to simplify the logistical challenges often associated with large gatherings. Organizers can now replace scattered registration lists, payment updates, and group-chat messages with a single shared event hub. The platform supports both local and destination events, making it versatile for families of all sizes and locations.

The free Cookout plan includes one active event, a shareable event page, household RSVPs, and a guest contact list. For those planning more extensive gatherings, GatherKin offers two subscription plans:

- Local Family Reunion Subscriptions: Available for $4 per month or $36 billed annually. These plans add online dues and add-on payments, assigned item checklists, multi-day schedules, automated email reminders, and list exports. Organizers can also customize registration questions for T-shirt sizes, meal needs, allergies, and volunteer help.

- Remote Family Reunion Subscriptions: Available for $9 per month or $84 billed annually. These plans include travel and lodging details, installment payment tracking, traveler status and deadlines, and document and packing information. Paid reunion organizers can connect their own Stripe payout account to receive payments from families.

GatherKin's platform reflects Shawn Moore'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. The platform also 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.

By centralizing information and streamlining communication, GatherKin aims to make family reunion planning more efficient and enjoyable. The platform serves families planning cookouts, local reunions, and destination gatherings, with a focus on practical coordination and keeping family connections at the center.
