Planning any party should be based on a plan and consider how many people, food, theme, and activities. These basic considerations can sometimes get overlooked. Preparing ahead of time can make all the difference between a great party and a weak one. Making a schedule and planning out the details should be the first step towards planning your party. Here are some quick tips that will help you get started:
Planning
Proper planning takes time and coordination with other members of the family. You need to plan a date, and not just any date, a date that works for the majority of the people in the family. The truth is that you may not be able work around everyone's schedule, but with proper planning, you can be sure to at least get most of the people there. Another thing to think about is how to get people there. Your family may be pretty widespread and this may mean that some of the family needs to help pitch in with transportation or even with housing.
* Activity: Depending on the venue there can be a number of activity options that can be fun for everyone. For example renting a bounce house can keep all of the kids occupied and give the parents a chance to rest and talk. Others may want to do a craft project or have the kids play games. There are many variations and many activities to choose from.
Another crucial element is entertainment for younger children. They have to be in attendance if they want to make friends on the street and their attention span is not going to be held by just food. They want to be doing something fun at all times. There are many different options, of course determined by the time of year. You could have a snowman making competition, or a snowball fight in the winter if you live somewhere like Utah. In the summer it could be a pool party, or a water gun fight.
There are many games you can play to get the family together, but it really should require some good team work. Many family members don't get to see those who are at the reunion very often and having a fun game that lets them play with these individuals will make the family reunion special. The kids may just want to get a bounce house in Utah so they can bounce till they pass out.
On the other hand the party can be quite simple by including some games, using a free venue like a public park and just have cake and ice cream. Or you can serve a light lunch or appetizers and make it a short party. Or the party could have a theme and all of the guests dress up or participate in games or activities centered on the idea. Depending on what you decide to do is also based on how many people you invite and who confirms that they are coming. Make sure you send out invitations so you get the estimated attendance so you can plan ahead.
