Planning a Family Reunion With distant family members scattered all across the globe, sometimes it can be tough to get everyone together for a single event. You are in luck, because many hotels and resorts will offer special prices to families who want to book an entire block of rooms. Some even offer free meeting rooms and banquet halls for your family reunion.

However, if you are planning on booking a hotel or resort, there are a few tips that you should keep in mind while looking around:

1. Book early! Hotels often fill up fast during the summer months, so try to book at least 6-8 months before your event.

2. If you want discounted rates for your family reunion, ask about them when you make your room reservation. Sometimes hotels will not offer them unless you ask.

3. Be sure to ask about any hidden fees that may apply once you arrive at the hotel or resort (i.e., parking fees).

4. If you need conference or banquet space be sure that you book this well in advance too (at least 3 months). Many people will book their reunion events on the same weekends and spaces can fill up fast.

For some families, that event is Thanksgiving. For others, Christmas. For me and my relatives, it’s the Fourth of July.

It’s the one time of year I’m guaranteed to see my grandmother — she lives in California — and my aunt and uncle, who live in Florida. It’s also when I get to see my cousin’s boys: one who lives in Texas and another who lives on the West Coast.

In other words, our family reunion isn’t much of a reunion at all: We spend as much time catching up with each other as we do hanging out with each other.

Finding the perfect location and time is often the most difficult decision to make when planning a family reunion. And when you want to make sure everyone has fun, it’s often hard to know just where to begin!

With these helpful tips, you’ll be planning an unforgettable family reunion in no time!

Choose a LocationChoosing the right location can be the most difficult decision in planning your family reunion. Popular locations include theme parks, national parks and resorts. Find a spot that offers activities that appeal to all age groups. If possible, choose a location that has significance to your family so it will have added meaning for attendees.

Choose a DateA weekend is ideal for a family reunion because it allows more people flexibility with their schedules. Summertime is usually best because kids are out of school and families typically have more vacation time available during this season. Plan your event for either a three-day weekend or four days midweek so attendees can easily come and go without missing work or school. It may also be helpful to send save-the-date cards at least six months prior to the event so family members can plan

This summer, I’m planning a family reunion to celebrate the 60th anniversary of my late father’s graduation from college. My mom is already excitedly looking forward to welcoming everyone home again, and I have to agree it will be great to see everyone all at once. But with our family spread out across the globe — and some of us, like me, being in the “sandwich generation” of caring for both kids and aging parents — it’s really hard for all of us to get together in one place at one time.

To make things worse, we don’t really have a single “hometown” that everyone remembers and loves; I grew up in San Francisco, but my dad’s family was from New York. And on top of that, we’re pretty diverse religiously; this summer, there’s a month where some members are celebrating Ramadan while others are celebrating Shavuot! Not to mention various graduations, weddings and other events that will happen over the next few months.

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to organize a family reunion or large gathering. A few years ago, I had the privilege of planning my grandmother’s 90th birthday party. It was so much fun seeing all 50 of her closest friends and relatives together in one place

I want to help my parents plan a family reunion. I’m not exactly sure how to do that, because I’ve never had the opportunity to do so before. This is going to be a lot of work, and it’s going to take a lot of time. At the same time, though, I know that it’s something that needs to be done. The only problem is that I’m not sure where to start.

The first thing that I need to do is figure out when everyone can come together for the reunion. We have family members scattered all across the globe, so this is going to be difficult. Then, once we figure out when everyone can come together for the reunion, we need to figure out where everyone will stay during the event. This is going to be even more difficult than figuring out the date for the reunion, because there are so many options available. Then, we need to figure out what we’re going to do during the event itself. There are a lot of things that need to be figured out here too: food, activities, entertainment…the list goes on and on.

I want this reunion to be perfect, but I’m not sure how to make that happen. The only thing I know for certain is that I’m going

If you have a large family or your family members live far away, it may be difficult to bring everyone together for a special occasion.
