Is there such a thing?!

As a link to free polling? Is that a thing??

So yeah. I'm heading my reunion committee. It started out as me asking what the plan was and turned into being nominated because of my event planning experience. I didn't exactly turn it down either but I'm trying to get a grip for what's ahead . I've received over 40 private message requests telling me their life story and why certain weekends work best. I have 8 people that want to assist.
Now I want to put together a poll for our class ideas.

Anyone know how I can create this?

My goal is to simply have a consensus. I don't want to be responsible for all the ideas.

Can you just hold it the same week as the school's homecoming and be done with it?

"Oh, we're sticking with tradition and having the reunion the same weekend as homecoming. Thanks for your opinions though!"

I've used surveymonkey for our Girl Scout troops.

My work uses surveymonkey as well. Good luck, sounds like you're gonna have to lay down the law!

Cool. I'm gonna look up survey monkey! You guys rock.

This should be interesting. The messages I've received have been super entertaining. From alumni affairs to unplanned babies that apparently "ruined" marriages. I'm fucking exhausted already.

I've already created 4 different copy and paste responses because I truly don't want people feeling unheard.

A poll will save my sanity.

As a wedding planner I had some stories but this is nothing at all close to that.

Surveymonkey, like others have said, and if you're looking for dates/times, I like Doodle Poll for that too.

I use Doodle Poll all the time.

Honestly- if you have 8 people who want to help, then form a committee and you all plan this event. The more you reach out and ask for opinions, the more you open yourself up to getting a lot of negative feedback and personal messages where people are pissed at YOU.

The less you ask for, the less people will get pissed off.

My class has had a reunion every 5 years since I graduated over 25 years ago. Not ONCE has any kind of poll or request for opinions been sent out. And this is fine. I'm told when, where, and how much and then I can choose to go or not go.

I have used both surveymonkey and doodle.com for polls. Survey monkey has more options, but doodle is great for just finding a date that fits everyone's schedule or getting a headcount for an event.

Both have free options.

[underwaterrhymes]

I prefer Doodle poll because you can see who has responded and who hasn't. (Survey monkey may have changed, but when I used it, this wasn't an option with the free version.)

Google forms has way more options than Survey Monkey.

Ok here's another question that I know will get thrown at me. Is there a website that can collect funds for an event and provide e-tickets?

We don't want anyone to have to fund this thing and between the 6 of us that are putting this thing together, none of us want to use a 3rd party classmates/reunion company that's marks up tickets. I'm glad we all agree on that.

The amount of support we are getting for the poll is pretty cool. Everyone likes that it's going to be a consensus. Thanks for the poll recs!!

[WOT?*]

I've never used them but this site looks promising: www.etickets.to/

I know a number of people that have used Doodle and like it.  SM is just what I've used so it's set up and convenient and works for our purpose.  And I was trying to remember Google Forms as an option too. I knew there was a Google option.

This is so perfect, thanks. They only charge $1 per ticket for the service which isn't bad at ALL.
