Even though technology makes people have better contact with each other over the years, class reunions are still a fun event. You can actually see someone in person and not just look at their pictures on Facebook or MySpace. And when you get together for a class reunion, you can share stories about the good ol’ days all night long and not worry about who else might see it on a social media sight – what happens at the class reunion stays at the class reunion! So how about you get busy planning that reunion so that everyone can have some fun this time?
When you are gathering addresses of people to send invitations to, send out a little profile sheet with the invitations. Make it a fun questionnaire that they can fill out that lists all of their accomplishments that they want to share with the rest of their former classmates. That way, even if a person isn’t coming to the reunion, they can still share in the fun of catching up, even if people have to read about it. When you have all of the profiles, group them in a book so that it can be bound up like a yearbook. Also make it available in a file so those who didn't attend can receive the electronic version of the update on every one.
If your classmates were a rowdy bunch, then you might need some other activity besides dancing to keep them entertained during the night. Setting up an Olympic style game time is a fun way to allow people to show off their skills or see if they have the skills that they used to. These games could be simple wheelbarrow races, three legged races, beer pong (of course you didn't do this while underage), tossing a football, baseball or whatever sport was big in your school. Having a matching game of names and old pictures is always fun too. See if you can remember everyone's name and what they looked like twenty, thirty or even more years ago!
Another fun way to mark the event is to come up with a cheer. Did you class have a special cheer in high school? Can you even remember it now, years later? Never fear, if you can't, then come up with a new one. Make it a competition on who can come up with a cheer or a chant for your group and remember it until the next time you have a reunion!
Lastly, when people are exiting the reunion, give them a sheet to fill out with an email or other contact information so you don't have to track everyone down when it comes times again. Keep this info in a database so you can transfer it to the next person in charge or else print it out quickly the next time invitations need to go out.
