Planning a class reunion party has never been easier due to online networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace.
However, statistics have shown that the average attendance at a class reunion party is only 10 - 25%. This is probably due to nervousness and anxiety about facing former classmates and foes.
By following these class reunion ideas you will stand a better chance of getting a high attendance and throw a party that your guests will always remember:
1. Why not recruit 1 or 2 former classmates to share in the workload of organizing your class reunion party? The workload will stack up and you could do with the help!
2. Remember that many of your former classmates will be travelling great distances to attend your event. They will have careers and families to factor in! Make sure you allow as much notice as possible, even up to a year and beyond!
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. Are they vegetarian? Your guests will be eating 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 a space where your former classmates can upload a school photo.
e. Payment - Have a link to Paypal so that payment can be sent in advance.
5. Hire a professional photographer. These photos can be used for the dvd! I suggest you have a school and a present day photo of everybody for this!
6. Your music could be from the year of graduation. This will be very nostalgic!
7. Avoid the inevitable embarrassing situations and supply name tags for everybody!
8. This event has been a long time in the planning. So provide great food for your guests. It should be a classy sit down occasion. - 32384
