It’s the time of year again.
When my phone gets so many texts that I become immune to the pinging alert of a new message and our family email gets crammed full of notices, all thanks to sports and school activities.
I like to stay in the loop and know what’s going on. Sometimes I’m even the one sending out the notices, since I’m one of those soccer moms.
But group text messages where you get every “Got it!” and “Thanks!” that comes through or reply-all emails when the person sending doesn’t realize it’s reply-all and says something you know they only meant for one person to see… I could do without all of those.
I was invited to try out Monday Envelope, which is an all-in-one communication solution built to solve these problems for the groups you manage.
You can easily create a group, add events, ask for volunteers, create a fundraiser, and even collect money. Your group members have the option to view the group on any of their devices. When you create an event, you can choose to require an RSVP(super helpful for our soccer club, where the kids are split up into different teams each week) or ask for volunteers for things like snack and allow people to sign up.
When you set up events, you can also schedule reminders to go out, which is really helpful since you don’t have to remind yourself to send out a reminder(that’s a lot of reminding).
You can also add documents and helpful links to your Monday Envelope group. Even if you send those forms home, you know someone will lose them. Or if you email them out, they can get lost in an inbox. But knowing that all of your group members can simply log into their Monday Envelope account and find what they need will save you from all those requests for the forms or links.
Your group members can choose to get email notifications or they can turn those off and simply check Monday Envelope for updates. But if you have something come up last minute, like a game that’s canceled due to rain, you can send an emergency notification that will be sent to everyone, even if they’ve turned off regular notifications.
Monday Envelope can make organizing your groups and keeping everyone informed so easy. Be sure to check it out for yourself or send your group leader to Monday Envelope to get things started for your group! Be sure to enter the giveaway to help with back-to-school.

I can see this as very helpful this new school year! I plan on volunteering much more and stepping up my involvement.
That would be really helpful for those of us moms who volunteer in the classroom!
I’m looking for new ways to get organized in the new year.. and I hear you about ignoring the pings from social media on your phone. I’m immuned to the sound now LOL
Monday
Envelope certainly has some valuable options. I sympathize with the “reply to everyone” response that gets sent out now and then. Thanks for the great visuals on how to use Monday Envelope.
Very cool! What a great idea. It will come in handy for sure during all the many events kids get into.
Sounds like a great option to help manage all of the family activities. I am sure I miss a lot of stuff just because there isn’t away to see everything.
I will have to show this to the group that I am involved in with the school! What a great way to get everything organized!
ANything to save time is good with me. I love that you can do this to organize a group!
This is such a great idea. I can see this coming in handy for room moms and PTSO.
What a great idea. I need something to keep me organized!
omg. i need this. i’m a junior girl scout leader, and will be a daisy scout leader too in a few weeks. plus i hae a shared sunday school teaching position and end up being room mom for my kids’ classes each year. i need all the help i can get!!
and some people really need to research “reply all”
This app does look helpful for so many upcoming back-to-school events. I swear there’s an app for everything!
This streamlines things so much. I can see that it would be incredibly helpful!
This app looks like it is perfect for busy people. I need to check into it and refer a few people that are pinged every second of the day, haha.
This looks like the perfect solution for busy families.
This is the first I’m hearing about this. Sounds like an amazing way to stay in the loop and organized.
This sounds like a great app. Between after school activities and gymnastics, I know all about those stupid messages that clog up my time. I need this app!
This will be very helpful. This year I plan to be a bit more involved at my sons school
This app was made for me! Between my blog and three kids, things can get pretty hairy sometimes.
This looks like it would be a simple app to use. I will have to try it and see what i think. I know a few people that could really use this. Thanks for sharing.
I like the reminders part! I definitely have a habit of forgetting!
I hadn’t heard of Monday Envelope before. Sounds like a great resource to keep you organized! Thanks for sharing.
What a neat app. Going to have to bookmark for future reference.
