Plan family Christmas without the group chat drama
Who’s hosting, who’s bringing the pav and what time is lunch? Plynr keeps family Christmas in one place, so everyone turns up knowing the plan.
Sound familiar?
Who’s hosting this year?
Every year it’s the same conversation, and it takes weeks to land on an answer.
Who’s bringing what
Three potato salads and no dessert. Keeping track of the food is a job on its own.
Juggling both sides of the family
Lunch with one side, dinner with the other, and timings that keep shifting.
How to plan it in Plynr
1
Agree on the plan
Send a Poll for who’s hosting or what time works. Everyone votes, and the winner updates your Plyn.
2
Send one Event Plyn
Add the time, address, who’s bringing what and any Kris Kringle details. Family RSVP in seconds via the app or on the web.
3
Keep the family in the loop
Share updates in one place, sort the food in the chat, and let reminders do the chasing.
4
Relive it afterwards
Once Christmas is over, it becomes a Past Plyn. Everyone adds their photos, and you can keep private notes for next year.

Questions
How do you decide who hosts Christmas?
Many families take turns each year, or choose whoever has the most space. A quick Poll keeps it fair and saves the back and forth.
How do you organise who brings what for Christmas lunch?
List the dishes you need, then let everyone claim one in the Plyn. It avoids doubles and makes sure dessert is covered.
How does Kris Kringle work?
Each person draws one name and buys a gift for that person only, usually with a set spending limit. It keeps costs down for bigger families.
When should you start planning Christmas?
Six to eight weeks ahead is ideal, so you can agree on hosting and timings before December gets busy.
