Your reunion event is just around the corner. How can you ensure that everything goes as planned? Don't leave anything to chance. Follow up and follow through. Here are some helpful and vital reminders to make your reunion event a memorable one.

1. Follow up with those who were delegated tasks now.  Make certain all preparations were finalized and materials and supplies are on hand.

2. Contact vendors regarding setup dates of the event  and get useful details regarding service requirements. 

3. Send out a reminder of date and time of rendezvous to all invitees. 

4. Prepare to offer complimentary prizes or gifts to first arrivals. 

5. Make certain elderly attendees are given assistants as needed. 

6. Wrap up and view family history documentary movie or family slideshows and prepare a welcome letter. Download free family history worksheets at http://fimark.net/genealogy/genealogy-doc.html or get Fimark's Family Reunion Planner Keepsake Book with genealogy worksheets included.

7. Wrap up craft projects such as the family reunion keepsake booklet and insert the welcome letter in the booklet. For more information regarding keepsake books go to keepsake family reunion booklet

8. Will all be wearing family reunion event t-shirts? Have extra T-shirts on hand for attendees who may not have ordered or need a fresh shirt during the photo shoot. 

9. Remember the special effects. Often what makes a reunion special are those little things like party favors, balloons, sparklers for evening outdoor activities, bubble blowing machines and such.  

10. When preparing your daily wardrobe give forethought to your own personal needs while engaged in indoor and outdoor activities

11. Having a reunion in the park or backyard? You cannot have too many condiments. Tell everyone to bring their favorite hot sauce, sweet sauce, BBQ sauce, mustered, pickles and other hot dog toppings. 

12. You can't have too many party favors. Turn everything on the table into a family reunion keepsake party favor using stickers with the family reunion event date, theme and slogan printed on them.

How To Speed Plan A June Family Reunion

You've heard of speed art? Featured on YouTube, speed art is quickly becoming the latest craze among graphic artists who create breathtaking photo realistic pictures fit for Academy Award winning movies. You've also heard of speed dating, speed chess, speed impersonations and speed reading. But have you heard of speed planning?

Speed Planing And Preparation

Speed planning involves the use of a stop watch set to 15 minutes or so and a list of key planning questions required to brain storm ideas and determine how to implement them. Speed planning an event is similar but with the added feature of preparing the event within a relatively short period of time. In this case eight weeks or so.

Last month we introduced how to speed plan a May Family reunion with only two months to prepare. Many of our readers loved the idea and have been following through with much success. Now with the month of April upon us it's time to speed plan a June family reunion. Answer these key speed planning questions to get your June reunion event up and running.

8 June Reunion Planning Reminders

School is out and fun family reunion activities are just around the corner.  In the next few weeks many of you will be plunging cannon ball right into your family reunion event. Some will be traveling back home for a traditional family reunion while others will be breaking new ground with creative themes like a full fledged family reunion cruise to remote exotic islands. Others will be donning colorful family culture costumes with taste buds ready for a family reunion food fest.

We would like to remind you of a few follow up tasks to making your event flow smoothly:

1. Make certain all members have their t-shirts ordered and delivered. (See the timeline
checklist in Fimark's Family Reunion Planner web app.) Point them to the t-shirt ordering website if they have not yet ordered  t-shirts. 

For great family reunion t-shirt design ideas go to http://www.zazzle.com/zzibcnet*/

2. Follow up with department heads and make sure everyone has what they need including materials and supplies. (See the materials and supplies checklist in the Family Reunion Planner)

3. Remind them of their responsibilities. (See the departmental worksheets in the Family Reunion Planner web app)

4. Some family members may have recently run into a snag attending. Render support where needed.

5. Follow up with vendors and facility managers to make sure you will receive
the timely quality services you expect. (See the timeline checklist in the Family
Reunion Planner web app)

6. Make certain family members know how to reach their destination. A few
families tend to get lost traveling to every event. Send them directions via
email or post mail. Have them follow a capable traveler or have someone help the setup GPS navigation.

7. Get help wrapping up your final tasks. No need to do it all yourself. Invite
a couple of extra hands over and put in a long night completing tasks.

8. Be sure to give yourself a day or two of rest before the big event.
