3 Ways To Make Your Family Reunion More Enjoyable

Are you planning an upcoming family reunion? These types of gatherings can be enjoyable, especially when you haven’t seen family members in a long time. Although it may be a little stressful to plan one, here are three things you can do that will make your reunion memorable and satisfying for everyone.

  1. Provide Accommodations

Depending on the size of your family, you may have a wide range of needs to care for. Make sure to choose a venue that is easily accessible to older family members or those with disabilities. If you are going to be together for a weekend and don’t have easy access to bathroom facilities, consider getting ada-compliant mobile showers for the trip.

  1. Have Good Food

One of the best parts of any reunion is the food. Offer a variety of delicious meals, snacks and desserts. You can make it a potluck or delegate meals to certain families. Either way, be aware of any food allergies and get food that is easy to feed a lot of people.

  1. Offer Activities for All Ages

A family reunion is the perfect time to bond with family. Find a variety of games that people can choose to play. Whether you play bingo with the grandparents or water games with your cousins, everyone can find an activity that they will enjoy.

If there are many smaller kids in the family, bring some games that they will enjoy too. If you are staying overnight somewhere, bring a sheet and a projector for an instant movie night.

There are many ways you can make a family reunion enjoyable. Although it is a lot of responsibility to plan an event such as this, you can ask help from family members who are attending. Delegate responsibilities or have each of them chip in to buy food. Whatever you do, don’t forget to enjoy spending time with your family.
