So, your family wants a reunion.
Now what?
Before you start comparing hotels, ordering T-shirts, or planning the talent show, there are a few decisions that make everything else easier.
☼ Start with these 5 decisions. ☼
01
Who’s planning this thing?
Put together a small planning team and decide
who owns what.
02
Who are you inviting?
Get a rough headcount before you start making decisions based on 50 people when 150 may show up.
03
When will you get together?
Pick a date or narrow it down to a few realistic options.
04
Where will everyone gather?
Local park? Hotel weekend? Destination reunion? Someone’s enormous backyard? Start with what fits your family and budget.
05
What can people
reasonably afford?
Talk about money early. A fantastic reunion nobody can afford to attend isn’t particularly fantastic.
☼ You don’t need every answer today.
You just need enough information to make the next decision.
