A family reunion is a great opportunity to reconnect family members who have not seen each other in a long time and to celebrate an important event, such as a birthday. If you are currently involved in planning such an event, here are some tips to make the task easier:
- Start early and consult everyone – this is a very important part of the planning process, especially if you are planning to invite lots of guests. Communicate with everyone regularly and take notes about the availability of everyone to pick a date that works for everyone;
- Choose a venue – parks, recreational centers, hotels, and event centers are great places to hold reunions. If you have chosen an outside venue, plan for shade or inclement weather protection. You can find affordable big tents for sale at KD Kanopy in a variety of sizes.
- Decide about the budget – if you decide to host the event in your home, you will need to figure out how many people you will be able to accommodate and how many of them will need to stay somewhere else and allocate a budget for accommodation costs. Figure out how much you can spend on the catering, too – if you are willing to cook, the costs will be lower, but you will need a larger budget if you will use a catering service or you will take all your guests to a restaurant. Make sure to update everyone involved about the arrangements;
- Confirm the date and the other details to make sure that everyone has a written document with all the relevant documents.
