TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Now that you know who is planning to attend your event and where you are going to host it, it’s high time you thought about nourishing your guests. Talk to the chef employed where the reunion is happening and talk your ideas through. Discuss if what you want is possible: a finger food buffet or a sit down meal? How many dishes would you like to be served? Consider all the dietary needs of the attendees and arrange for something vegetarian or vegan, or make sure there is something gluten‑free or other component‑free to cater for everyone’s taste. Take into consideration the youngest family members. They may refuse to eat fancy caviar canapes or foie gras. Have a safe option of, for instance, french fries and fish sticks/chicken strips or tomato soup.
Children

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
When planning a family celebration with children, you have to think carefully of children. It’s common knowledge that they easily get bored and cannot sit still for long. If there are a couple of kids who know one another pretty well, they are likely to start playing together at once. Sometimes they might need a childrens’ animator to organise the time for them. This way, adults will have an opportunity to talk to distant relatives without being disturbed all the time.
Pets

If you are a happy cat or dog owner, you’d better inform the host that you’re arriving with it. Make sure the animal can behave well and won’t bite anyone when annoyed. Consider leaving your pet at home when it doesn’t like new people or doesn’t tolerate other animals. Sometimes it’s better to leave it home alone to save it a lot of stress.

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
The last thing to do in order for your family reunion to be a huge success is to put everyone at ease and provide them with fun activities. You can organise a dance space, family photoshoot, games, and contests. Think about what your family enjoys doing, how they usually spend time together, and include everyone’s needs. Whatever you decide to prepare for them, remember, nothing will work out if people are in a bad mood, no matter how much labour you have put into organising this meeting. So come together, enjoy each other’s company because you will never know when you will see one another next time. Make sure your money and effort don’t go down the drain.

Preparing such an important event can drain your pocket if done without proper planning. Before you start booking a venue or ordering catering, it’s smart to consider how much money you are willing to spend on the whole thing. Make a list of things and activities and analyse if what you want to offer your family members doesn’t exceed your financial capability. If you are on a budget, you should scale down on your expectations and organize something a little bit down to earth. Or perhaps some of your nearest and dearest are able to contribute? Remember, going over the top doesn’t guarantee success.
TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Make a thorough plan of the things that need to be arranged in advance. You may use post‑it notes or your personal calendar. Organising a reunion is a real challenge and you don’t want to end up forgetting about something. So, about two months prior to the event, put important tasks in your busy schedule. Think about the date of the get‑together, when to buy or hand‑make invitations, when to order flowers so that they are fresh, who you want to come to the party, and who can pitch in so you are not alone in this enterprise.
TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Whether bought, customised or hand‑made, sending out invitations is a must. And even if you pick those ready‑made ones, it’s nice to handwrite them to give them a personal touch. Don’t forget to include all the relevant information, for example the date, the time, and the venue. What is also quite important is to ask those who you are hoping to come to RSVP to your invitation. In this way you will know how many people to expect, what their culinary preferences are, and how big a room to book to sit everyone comfortably.
TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
When you know how many guests you are expecting to host at a family reunion, it’s time to decide on a venue. Don’t limit yourself to your first choice. Do research online, choose the place which is appealing to you, with the proper capacity to wine and dine, but also engage in other activities. Maybe you are thinking of having a family competition? Or you want to have a dancefloor to show off your moves? Or perhaps you care more about the surroundings with a beautiful garden where you can have fantastic family photos taken? When you select all the possibilities, narrow down your choice to the top three and visit them personally to check whether the virtual tour you have taken matches the reality.
TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
A family reunion is always a great deal for all the members. You can be well prepared with the food and invitations, there is still one thing that is hard to predict; the weather. If you dream of celebrating the meeting outdoors, for instance in the garden, make sure the place is protected from the rain. You can do it by setting up garden tents, where the guests can hide in case of the rain and still stay outdoors.
Keeping in touch

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Family reunions make it possible to get closer to our distant relatives who we don’t happen to see often. You might be taken aback by the fact that you get along with some of them. To stay in touch, exchange emails and phone numbers. After some time you may start to arrange another reunion together…

First of all, …
Next…
The following step…
Later, …
I’d like us to…
Set the date/send out invitations/look for a potential venue/book the place/discuss a menu with a catering chef/organise a photographer/prepare attractions.
First of all, I’d set the date and send out invitations to my family members to get to know who would come and join the event. Next, I’d have to look for a potential venue, but only after everyone RSVPs to the party and if it’s good enough, I’d book it. The following step would be discussing the menu with a catering manager because my relatives have different dietary needs. Later I’d need to organise a photographer and prepare some attractions for the guests. I’d like us to play games and share our family stories.
