Decide the groups before everyone gathers
A group name helps the photographer; a list of people helps the relative gathering everyone. Agree where to meet and which pictures matter to your family. Leave uncertain times as questions, and check whether people want their names on a shared copy. A mark on this list is your reminder, not proof that a photo was saved.
Photographer Nikki Schell describes planning combinations for each family and working from larger groups toward smaller ones in her family groupings shot-list guide. The Family Reunion Helper committees handout assigns the photography coordinator the job of scheduling the whole-group picture. Use those planning ideas to write your own list; this worksheet does not pick groups or arrange them for you.
Groups worth considering
Start with a whole-group picture if your family wants one. Then consider each family branch or household, siblings, cousins and smaller combinations people request. If some people have limited time or find moving between groups difficult, plan their pictures early in the agreed order. Ask people which pictures they want, and leave out combinations that do not suit the gathering.
A fictional example
Photo group: cousins by the garden wall. People: Rosa, Jo, Lee and their households. When: before lunch, to confirm. Location: the garden wall beside the picnic tables. Arrangement: ask Jo to gather the group. These people and arrangements are invented.
Use the reunion agenda for the day’s plan. After the gathering, write captions for family photos in a separate worksheet; nothing transfers between these tools.
Before the first group picture
Can I print a blank family reunion photo list?
Yes. The blank print has ten numbered write-in boxes with Taken checkboxes and space for a group, people, a time and a location. Adding only a title, reunion date or coordinator keeps the blank layout. Use Review my list, then Print or save PDF, or print from the browser while editing. Check Letter or A4 in the preview.
What happens when I add a group or mark Taken?
Written groups keep their original numbers and every written field. A group with only an arrangement or a Taken mark is included. Untouched groups are skipped. Unused write-in boxes from numbers 1–10 remain for handwritten additions; they are shown in Review, too. In print, written fields have their labels on the same line and the remaining handwriting boxes are more compact. An entirely blank list keeps its larger boxes. Text downloads keep only written or marked groups. A short group stays together in print; wording longer than a page can flow onto further pages without being cut off. More groups or longer wording can need extra pages. A final sheet may hold only a few empty write-in boxes; select pages in the print dialog if you do not need them all. Next photo group and Add another group are also available below the fields. They take you back to the new group so you can see what to enter.
Does it upload photos or organize people automatically?
No. It is a list you fill in yourself, with up to one hundred groups in the order you add them. It does not upload, recognize, take or share pictures, contact relatives, calculate times or synchronize a Taken mark with a camera. Agree the final order and arrangements with the photographer and gathering helper.
Where is the list saved, and can I undo clearing a group?
The list stays only in this page’s memory. Refreshing or closing clears it; download text or print before leaving. Saved TXT and PDF files cannot be reopened here for editing. Clear this group asks first. Undo restores all five fields and the Taken mark until you change that same group or close the page. Editing another group or the title keeps Undo available; clearing another group replaces the previous Undo.
Keep the story beside the picture
Save your list first. MemoirWell’s separate guided interview can help you turn your own memory into an AI-assisted draft chapter to check and edit. It does not import this list or collect the photographs.
