Tips for Planning a Family Reunion

A family reunion is the perfect occasion to catch up on what families are doing, let cousins get reacquainted, and visit with far flung relatives. The gathering can be held in the back yard or at a posh venue. A successful gathering will depend on proper preparation long before the event takes place. Some family reunions are one-day events, while others take place over an entire weekend. Decide on duration early.

Location

The number of attendees will dictate location. That’s why it’s essential to send out notification of the event early. Even a year before hand isn’t too early. Once everyone has responded, it will be easy to plan everything from the location to the food.

Activities and Amusements

While many attendees will want to spend their time talking and taking photos, it’s always a good idea to include some games and activities. It can encompass simple games such as horseshoes, a bean bag toss or a scavenger hunt. A game of baseball may be welcome.

Individuals can even choose to offer dancing. Portable dance floors can be rented and music can be provided via a band, DJ or through streaming a mix list.

Food

A catered event will eliminate headaches about the menu, but it can also be expensive. Many families take a potluck approach. It’s an opportunity for family to share their favorite dishes or award-winning recipes.

Pot luck meals work if attendees are fairly local, but extra food will need to be arranged to accommodate appetites if long-distance relatives will be in attendance. Don’t forget to ascertain if anyone is vegan or has food allergies and share that information with others if a pot luck is planned.

Tables and Chairs

Ample seating and table space is critical, not only for a place to place the food, but for people to sit and eat. A rented venue will take care of those needs, but it’s something to consider if it’s a less formal environment.

Comfort and Weather

Storms and squalls can blow in at any time. Events at indoor venues provide shelter in the event of a storm and air conditioning for relief from the hot and humid summer weather. If the event isn’t at the host’s home or a rented venue, plan on renting tents and a portable air conditioner for the tent.

South Florida is ideal for family reunions with warm weather, plenty of sunshine and beautiful landscape it’s the ideal place for every type of party. Here are some tips for planning your family reunion that will keep you smiling in the sun!

Preplanning is crucial for this type of event and applies in particular if there will be people flying in or driving long distances. Contact the local hotels to see if they offer any group discounts. In most cases, they will allow such a thing if there are multiple families lodging at the same time.

Invite those who can attend in harmony. In many instances, these are family gatherings that allow families to reconnect and that’s the whole idea.

The food and drink are an essential part of a family reunion. Be sure to consider religious and food preferences as not everyone enjoys the same types of diet.  Set a budget for food and consider catering with a local business so you can concentrate on other things.

Games and activities are paramount to keep everyone engaged and promote bonding. Keep the party going by offering both kids, and adult themed features such as charades, twenty questions to bounce houses and waterslides. The more thought and planning you do, the more successful your family’s event will become.

How to Have Fun at Your Family Reunion

So, the big day approaches. You’ve sent out the invites, made all the phone calls, tidied the house and yard and purchased enough food to feed an army. Any minute now, your entire family will be at your doorstep for a good, old fashioned family get-together.

There will be music and laughter and happiness and food and drinks and fun – all the things that make family parties such fantastic events.  But this time around, why not kick things up a gear and present your nearest and dearest with a backyard full of awesome inflatables?

The kids will go crazy with delight when they see the 135-foot long Adrenaline Challenge Obstacle Course just waiting for them to climb on.  This snaking, inflatable assault course is designed for players to race through in complete safety, where family members can race against each other or race against the clock.

It’s not just those energy-fueled young ones that get to have all the fun either.  Adults can blast their way through the Adrenaline Challenge Obstacle Course too, whooping and hollering as they work hard to beat each other to the inflatable finish line.

Power up the fun with a Boys vs Girls game of foosball or recreate your very own Geller Cup on a giant inflatable foosball set-up.  These competitive inflatables are great fun and totally safe, as everything is padded so there won’t be any need to worry about broken bones or black eyes over the dinner table later. Well, not unless Uncle Frank eats all the hot dogs again.

Add a bounce house to your inflatable theme park and watch as the kids go full-tilt crazy. Bounce houses are perfectly safe and a great way for them to burn off all the energy the little ones have accumulated from all that candy they’ve been eating all day. Adults can retire to it later too for a more sedate hop about, using up the last of their juice before settling down for some chow.  Or, you know, jump in with the kids and show them how it’s done!

Complete your family-friendly inflatable surprise with your very own inflatable saloon bar. Yes, you read that right. A saloon bar, straight out of the Wild West, only fully inflatable.

It’s the perfect way to keep the children refreshed during the day and the adults equally refreshed in the evening. It even comes complete with inflatable bar stools. Just maybe don’t wear your spurs on this occasion.
