When
Which Friday–Sunday people can actually do. Two leaving Friday afternoon is a constraint, not a maybe.
Friday to Sunday
Plan a weekend away without another group-chat poll
Four people want to go away next month. Two can leave Friday afternoon. One only wants a city. Someone has a €300 budget. Nobody wants to run another WhatsApp poll.
That weekend reduces to four answers
Weekend away asks for when, vibe, where, and budget. Not a roster for a two-week holiday. Not a day-by-day yet.
Vibe
City, house, beach, quiet, busy. The person who only wants a city should say so before anyone sends cabins.
Where
A few places the group can live with for two nights. Vote instead of debating in the thread.
Budget
€300 is a real number. Put it next to the stay options so the group is not surprised later.
Keep it short
A weekend does not need a full holiday brief
You still use the same model — who, when, vibe, where, budget — but a Friday–Sunday trip can skip the heavy parts. Attendance is usually obvious. Priorities and flight-length constraints belong on a longer trip.
Share one link. Friends can answer from the shared link without creating an account. For overlapping Fridays, use the date planner rather than another chat poll.

Weekend away FAQ
What should you decide for a weekend away?
When people can leave, the vibe (city, house, beach), a place everyone can live with, and a budget that will not surprise anyone on Sunday night.
How do you find a weekend everyone can do?
Have each person mark the Fridays and Sundays that work, then look at overlap instead of guessing in chat. See the group date planner for the calendar itself.
What if the group cannot agree on where to go?
Collect a few acceptable places and vote. A weekend can ship with a shortlist. You do not need a perfect destination before you look at dates.
