Holding a class reunion party has never been so easy thanks to the emergence of online social networking websites such as Myspace and Facebook.
This being said, statistics show that the average attendance for class reunion parties is only between 10 - 25%. This is probably due to anxiety and nervousness about facing former foes, loves and classmates.
If you follow these class reunion ideas, you will stand a better chance of having a high attendance record and you will also throw a party that your guests will always remember:
1. There is a lot of pressure on anybody to throw a class reunion party. Why not recruit a former classmate who lives nearby to help with the organization? As you will see, there is lots to do so you may as well!
2. Your guests will have families and careers that they will have to plan around in order to attend your event. To increase attendance, you really should give as much notice as possible, even up to a years notice.
3. Rather than send out invites, I strongly suggest that you dedicate a website to your class reunion party. At the very least you should have a Facebook page. This way your guests will be able to see who else is attending!
4. Your website should have a form on so you can find out information like:
a. Do you have a vegetarian preference? You need to plan the meals after all!
b. Is accommodation required? If so then you could negotiate a group discount if enough people are in need of it!
c. Extras? Do your guests wish to order dvd's of the event, pens, photos etc.
d. Photos? Have an area where school photos can be uploaded.
e. Payment - Have a link to Paypal so that they can pay in advance for the event.
5. Hire a photographer! You can have a photo taken of all your guests when they arrive. If they have sent in a school photo, then you can have both photos put in the dvd.
6. Your music could be from the year of graduation. This will be very nostalgic!
7. Provide name tags for everyone to avoid the inevitable embarrassments!
8. This party has been a long time in the making. Make sure that the food is top notch. Hire a chef!
Planning a class reunion party can be an extremely stressful endevour! So I hope that these
