Sort Easter before the eggs are gone

Whose house, which day of the long weekend and who’s bringing the hot cross buns? Plynr keeps Easter lunch and the egg hunt in one place, from the first “are we doing Easter?” to the photos afterwards.

Sound familiar?

Which day, whose house?

Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday? With in-laws and other family plans, landing on a day takes weeks.

Who’s bringing what

Three people bring a pavlova and nobody brings the ham. Splitting the food and drinks gets messy fast.

The kids’ egg hunt

Who’s buying the eggs, how many kids are coming and what time does the hunt start before lunch?

How to plan it in Plynr

1

Pick the day

Send a Poll with the long weekend options. Everyone votes, and the winning day updates your Plyn.

2

Send one Event Plyn

Add the time, address, egg hunt plans and what to bring. Guests RSVP in seconds via the app or on the web, even Nan.

3

Split the food

Use the chat or a quick Poll to sort who’s bringing mains, sides, dessert and drinks, and let reminders do the nudging.

4

Relive it afterwards

Once Easter’s over, it becomes a Past Plyn. Everyone adds their photos of the egg hunt and lunch in one place.

Questions

When should you start planning Easter lunch?

Around 3 to 4 weeks before, so families can lock in the day around other plans and travel over the long weekend.

How do you split food for Easter lunch?

Have the host cover the main and ask everyone else to bring a side, dessert or drinks. Put it in the invite so there are no doubles.

How do you run an Easter egg hunt?

Count the kids, buy a set number of eggs per child and hide them before everyone arrives. Give little ones an easier zone so everyone finds some.

Can family RSVP without downloading the app?

Yes. Guests can RSVP on the web without the app, which is handy for grandparents and relatives who aren’t on Plynr yet.
