Top 5 Tips on How to Reunion
If you are planning to throw a family reunion party, then be prepared for loads of commitment, planning and time. Family reunion can be as small as 3 to 4 people or as big as 25 to 50 to 100 people. It all depends on the size of your family. Whatever the case may be. Here are some nice tips to be kept in mind while planning your reunion celebration:
Tip 1: Decide upon the budget: The first and foremost thing to decide is the budget. Before getting started deice how much you want to put into the celebration. According to this budget you can see how many members you want to invite. Location you will be selecting...etc. If you want you can ask your guests to pool in some amount. Of course, if you are comfortable doing that.
Tip 2: Coordinator's Are the Key to success: How about Uncle Sam who is everyones favorite and loves to manage things. Asking him to become a coordinator and spare some time for the management of the reunion celebration should not be a bad idea. It is better idea to designate 2 people, so that all the blame does not get on his shoulders. Hope this blaming situation never arises. And what are these coordinators suppose to do. They will be coordinating with all the family members and will be fixing the date and time. They will be also handing other small things, like deciding upon the menu.. etc.
Tip 3: Picking the Location: This is a very important thing and here the budget needs to be kept in mind. For a family reunion a perfect place would be the famous theme park or may be at the old family homestead. What ever it may be see to it that it is convenient for everybody.
Tip 4: Game & Activities: This is the success mantra. No one would like to attend a dull party where elders are just chit chatting because they have nothing else to do and kids are playing some snugyy game to pass their time. Some activities are the must. Signing family T-shirts is my all time favorite. For this you will need some white t shirts and markers. Mark each T-shirt with reunion year and then ask everyone to sign each other t shirts, Everyone will love it and take it home as a favor.
For kids you can keep them busy with drawing bookmarks for each other and elders and then gifting each of the family members these specially hand made bookmarks. For this you will need ribbons, hard paper, colored pens and some glitters etc. Here are some more family reunion games & activities.
Tip 5: And the lat tip is keep all the family members happy, greet them well by making sure they receive best of delicacies and food is served promptly. The accommodations should be comfortable. Take plenty of photos and make your family reunion memorable. Create a scrapbook. Shoot a video. Share old albums.
Lastly Just chill and relax!! You have planned a superb family reunion.
