Family reunions are becoming increasingly more popular as generations of families, living further and further apart, want to come together for some family fun. Since there are so many different preferences and schedules to take into account when having a family reunion, it can definitely take a huge effort to plan a successful one. Here are some tips that can help make wonderful lifetime memories.
- Plan a date far enough in advance that everyone can just put it on their calendar. Once the date is set, don’t change it – otherwise you’ll end up having to change it multiple times.
- Pick a location that everyone (or the majority) can agree on. Planning a destination vacation can be lots of fun, and you can even choose a vacation home (like one from HomeAway for example), that can accommodate the whole family.
- Choose a point person who can do most of the communication and planning, which will keep the whole process streamlined and organized.
- Plan a few activities with lots of free time. Remember to accommodate ALL family members, including the oldest and the youngest.
These few tips can really help make planning a major event like a family reunion so much more organized!

I think it’s smart to incorporate some alone time, too, or time that the siblings can get away from each other. It could help prevent serious family drama if everyone can take 5 every now and then.
That is such a good point. Alone time is absolutely essential.
