    10 Fun Family Reunion Ideas- Extra Details

    Last updated: Sep 8, 2022 · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Are you in charge of your family reunion this year? Do you want to make sure that everyone has a good time? Here's some simple family reunion ideas to jazz up your family reunion, making it more festive!

    Fun Family Reunion Ideas

    Ok, so let me tell you a little secret! I actually love to plan reunions and events. Being together with your entire family is fun in and of itself. But planning ahead is the key. This way you would be able to arrange everything properly so that every one that is visiting can have a great time. This can also give you time to get gifts for your family members, such as shirts, perfume, or even games for the children. However, here are some other fun details you can add to your reunion planning to make it a bit more memorable and exciting for everyone!

    Disclaimer:

    These are ideas from many different years of family reunions. So, do not feel like you have to do them all! Pick a few ideas that are fun for you and won't stress you out. After all, a family reunion is all about being together. And that last thing you need is everyone stressed out.

    Moreover, if you are a bit conscious about how your house looks, consider bringing about a few changes here and there. For instance, if you think that the exterior walls look shabby, then apply a fresh coat of paint. Likewise, if you think that the entry door looks a bit too worn out for welcoming your guests, then consider getting it repaired. However, if you find it to be beyond repair, then you think about replacing it (you can see see Forever Iron Doors).

    The same is applicable for other aspects of your house. Know that a few basic changes to the interiors here and there could make it appear more appealing. As an example, if you have planned a backyard activity, you can consider hiring an interior designing company like Milestone Dubai (or elsewhere) so that you are prepared to welcome additional people into your house and have safe and kids-friendly outdoors. The most important thing during a family reunion can be to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed in a new environment.

    1. Logo

    Before you get to all your family reunion planning, make a simple logo. You can use Photoshop, Word, Canva, or any other online design software.

    Having a logo for all your emails or correspondence will make your family reunion seem more official.

    Example: This logo I made for your reunion took me a total of 2 minutes, but it was a great header for our meal assignment list, packing list, etc.

    2. Welcome Kick-Off

    At the very first part of your family reunion (whether its a one day or multi-day event) do a Welcome Kick-off. Your kick-off is a great way to let everyone know the schedule of events, assignments, expectations, specific details, sleeping arrangements, etc for the reunion.

    For our welcome kick-off, I turned on We Are Family (by Sister Sledge) during the opening breakfast and handed out wristbands. The fun music and wristbands got everyone excited for the days ahead.

    I wanted to do give everyone something to wear during the trip, but since we were on a really LOW budget (and t-shirts weren't an option) we gave out wristbands. They were the perfect way to unify us without being too cheesy or noticeable. And waterproof so we could leave them on during all our water activities.

    Where to buy cheap wristbands: Dollar Tree or Amazon

    3. Family Games

    Since we would be spending a day in Yellowstone, I made a survival kit for everyone. The kits included "Moose Munch"- a snack mix of m&m's, pretzels, kettle corn, and yellow and white cheez-its. I also thought a friendly adult competition would be fun. I made up some License Plate game sheets (with the logo) and put them in the kits out to everyone before we went to the Yellowstone. The winner got Haribo gummy bears since Yellowstone is notorious for bears.

    Besides the beautiful sights of Yellowstone, I think everyone's favorite part was running through parking lots to find the most license plates.
