8 Class Reunion Ideas

Planning a class reunion party has never been easier due to online networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace.

This being said, statistics show that the average attendance for class reunion parties is only between 10 – 25%. This is probably due to anxiety and nervousness about facing former foes, loves and classmates.

To have the highest attendance possible, you should follow these class reunion ideas, you will also be throwing a party your former classmates will remember forever.

1. Throwing a class reunion party can create a lot of stress for anybody. So why not recruit a former class mate or two to share the responsibilities?

2. You should give as much time as possible, even up to a year to plan the event. Remember that people will be coming from all over the country to attend. They will have jobs and families which they need to plan around.

3. You should, rather than send out invitations, create a website dedicated to your class reunion party. This way your former classmates will be able to see who else is attending and they will be able to look forward to it.

4. Put a form on your website so you can find out preliminary information such as:

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. Extra? Would your guests wish to order a dvd of the event and pens, photos etc.

d. Photos! Get your classmates to upload a school photo!

e. Payment – Have a link to Paypal so that your former classmates can pay up front for the event.

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. Play music from the year of your graduation! Very nostalgic!

7. Avoid the inevitable embarrassing situations and supply name tags for everybody!

8. This party has been a long time in the making. Make sure that the food is top notch. Hire a chef!
