Are you like me who always hear about an aunt, uncle or cousin but you've never met them. Having a family reunion is a great way to meet family you don't know or have never met and is a great way to celebrate family by sharing fun times together. Let Trini Eventz Planner help you plan an unforgettable family reunion.
Start planning your family reunion one or even two years in advance to cater for family members who may need to travel to the event as this can be costly. Wondering who to invite, start with immediate family then first and second cousins, sometimes its the random second cousin you never thought would show up ends up being the life of the party.
A family reunion will not be fun without some good old games like 'lime & spoon', 'tug of war' or bag race. Other sporting activities like cricket, football or table tennis will be fun including art and craft for the younger ones.
DIY!
Here are a few DIY tips when planning your family reunion.
- Host your event over a few days like a weekend (Easter Weekend would be perfect) rather than try to pack everything in one day.
- Plan an outing each day like a beach lime, island tour culminating with the sports/fun day.
- Ensure to include a family Thanks Giving Church Service.
- Printed t-shirts, notepads, pens, bags etc makes nice keepsakes.
- Hire a professional photographer to take pics.
- Ensure you cater extra food some single family members might bring along a friend.
