The first thing to consider in your family reunion planning is that you will probably be known as “The Planner”, "The Chairperson", "The Host". Whatever they call you, it is a big responsibility and it takes commitment. You can do it; but, if it’s going to be a larger than just having a few people gather together - you will need help.

I will show you how to “volunteer” family members for committees; then with all your heads together, many ideas and suggestions will come to mind. It will be fun.

Depending on the size and scope of your reunion will also determine how much time you will need for the planning.

So, unless your reunion is small, 20 – 25 people, and being held in your home or backyard, you better get started with your planning as soon as possible. After all how long did it take you to plan your daughter’s wedding, or how long did it take to plan that cruise. See what I mean?
