Finding A Keepsake Reunion Planning Book

A wise person once said, "We are obsessed with living precariously through the lives of unhappy celebrities with false smiles. Stop buying books about other people's lives and romances. Your life is and should be the most fascinating, inspiring and memorable life you know. Write your own book about the life you live. The challenges, transitions and all the good stuff in between."

There is no gift you can give yourself and others like a book of life. Your life. It's not only entertaining, but it's also informative, inspiring, gives hope, and leaves you feeling a strong sense of fulfillment. A good family reunion planning keepsake book should can do all of that and more.

June Family Reunion Reminders Checklist

And Handy Reunion Planning Checklists

Whether you're the family reunion planner, member of an event planning committee, the family genealogist or historian... The fact is you're running out of time, and you needed to wrap up this summer's family reunion event plans yesterday. Here are some vital, quick, and easy reunion planning reminders you don't want to forget.

Important tasks you may need to complete before the event:

1. Accessibility and Mobility Needs
   Planners sometimes forget to account for elderly relatives or young children. Ensure your venue has ADA-compliant ramps, elevators, and close parking. 
2. Ask guests explicitly about dietary needs, walker/wheelchair requirements, and sensory accommodations well in advance. 
3. Unplanned "Nothing" Time
   It is tempting to schedule every hour, but over-programming leads to exhaustion. Leave ample open time simply for catching up, relaxing, and organic memory-making. 
4. Designated "Family HQ" Space
   For large gatherings, set up a central home base with a shaded seating area, coolers, and extra snacks. It gives relatives a designated spot to chat away from high-energy activities. 
5. Rain-Day (or Heat) Contingencies
   Always secure an indoor alternative or large tents if hosting outdoors. If the weather is sweltering, have water stations, shade, and fans readily available. 
6. Dietary Restrictions & Leftover Prep
   Gather lists of food allergies (e.g., nut, gluten, dairy) or strict preferences. Additionally, bring coolers, Ziploc bags, and containers to manage leftover food so it doesn't go to waste. 

Happy family reunion planning!

Outdoor Family Reunion Event Ideas

There is nothing like the great outdoors. State parks, beaches, road trips to homesteads and tours. Good music, a breezy day and fun in the sun can set a restful and refreshing mood for a great reunion event.

Having an outdoor family reunion is probably the most economical approach for those entertaining large gatherings with many siblings. Why? Outdoor venues are 50-60% less expensive when compared to indoor venues such as a reception hall. Outdoor events are usually one-day events. 

Outdoor gatherings lend themselves to more creative activities. The sky's the limit when you consider all that you can do. Here are a few great ideas

1. TV Game Show Style Outdoor Games
2. Quilting Under The Wisdom Tree
3. 'Back In The Day' Family Interviews 
4. Family History Storytelling
5. Arts and Craft presentations
6. Genealogy Presentations
7. 'My Family's Got Talent' Show
8. Fantastic Bubble Show
9. Family Recipe BBQ Cook Off
10. Poetry Club

Managing the kids is a whole lot easier.  Just direct them to the nearest baseball diamond, playset or basketball hoop. Other great activities for kids include horseback riding and more. Best of all there's no indoor furniture or decor to break, mend and refurbish during and after the event.

The ideal season for an outdoor event is mid to late Spring when the weather is milder. Early Autumn can be ideal. But Summer is the time most often chosen for a family reunion. Why? The kids are off from school. It's the ideal vacation time, and there are long weekends to take advantage of.
