Having a family reunion takes time, commitment, and planning. To get started, form a committee of family members. It can be as small as 3-4 people. Include young people when possible. Decide how often the committee will meet and consider the following items: Date, Invitations, Location, Travel and Lodging, Facilities, Food, Mailing List, Program and Format, Finances, Local Transportation, Communications, Souvenirs.
- Communications
- Communication with family members helps to generate information and maintain interest over the months of planning for the reunion.
- Facilities & Food
- Family finances and expenses may dictate the search for the right facility, but often the family reunion is perceived as a time for a vacation and members want a nice place.
- Activities
- Family members do look forward to having fun together. The range of possible activities is limitless.
- Finances
- Family reunions do cost money, but with careful planning every family can afford to have one.
- Family History
- Sharing the family history has become a major activity at the family reunions.
- After the Reunion
- After the reunion, evaluate how it went. Accentuate the positive and celebrate your successes.
