Planning Tips

Keep these tips in mind when planning your meeting or reunion to create a successful event!

• Start early - people need to be given enough time to save money to travel to the reunion and plan vacations from work
• Create tasks for everyone to ensure there is fair distribution of work and everyone feels involved
• Use social networking sites to keep everyone up-to-date on the reunion
• Put together a scavenger hunt using clues from your family's history
• Set out disposable cameras so everyone can participate in the memory making
• Be sure to have plenty of activities like coloring books and board games for younger family members
• Send out Save the Date invitations well in advance of the reunion date to reduce scheduling conflicts
• Plan for some flexible time to account for any unforeseen circumstances
