It maybe a many years since you left school, but the memories make it feel like it was only yesterday! Take yourself back in time by planning a school reunion where you and your colleagues can relive your memories. Getting a class together and pulling off a reunion party is no small feat.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve put together a few guidelines to help get you through it.<\/p>\n
You may have many school friends on facebook or such like, but if there are people you just can’t remember or if someone has disappeared off the radar then you old school should have a list with all this information. <\/p>\n
There are always other school friends that you are still in contact with that will have school friends that you have forgotten about. Send everyone a paper invitation to get the initial word out and create a Facebook page or website for your event where you can post reminders, updates, and information for your invited guests. Take this opportunity to start getting your guests excited about the reunion!<\/p>\n
Theme & Venue<\/p>\n
Remember to consider your theme and potential decorations as you hunt for that perfect venue. Use Party suppliers<\/a> and securing the venue makes planning decor that much easier, so you can begin creating your ideal atmosphere. Follow your general theme and have fun with it! Contact your classmates and request photos and keepsakes from the \u2018good ole days\u2019 to hang around the rooms or to create a nostalgia table!<\/p>\n Entertainment<\/p>\n You know the songs that just seem to recapture moments from your school experience? Have a DJ and the music bring you right back to those days with the perfect music to set the tone and liven up the party.<\/p>\n Keep the party going and conversation flowing with collages of old photos and videos. Everyone\u2019s got those slightly embarrassing pictures of good friends they\u2019d love to share. Stick with fun-inducing entertainment, give out prizes for games, or even have awards! Capture the new memories by booking a Photographer or even a photo booth!<\/p>\n Refreshments<\/p>\n From great decor and music to seeing old friends, your classmates will be having a ball! Add to the fun by providing refreshments for your guests. If your reunion will be a more formal event, you may want to have a sit-down dinner, but for more casual atmospheres, cocktails and hors d\u2019oeuvres will do just fine! Call local restaurants (maybe an old school favourite?) and have party caterers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tying Up Loose Ends<\/p>\n Now that you\u2019ve got most of the big stuff secured, don\u2019t forget the last few details! Be sure to find a potential hotel to suggest for traveling guests and send out this information as soon as possible to allow everyone time to book a room. For those hard-to-reach, make a point to call around 3 months before the reunion to help get every classmate you can to the event. Lastly, remember to contact all special invitees such as teachers and headmasters\/mistresses! The more the merrier! With all these tips under your belt, we\u2019re confident you\u2019re ready to plan the best possible school reunion your classmates could have imagined!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It maybe a many years since you left school, but the memories make it feel like it was only yesterday!
