Here's what to keep in mind when planning a class reunion.

So you have a high school reunion coming up, and you’re thinking of the good times everyone will have catching up. School reunions reminisce about the times when the perspectives on life were hilarious, create opportunities of learning what everyone is up to, and maybe leveraging the benefits of networking.

Whatever the case, creating the ideal environment for the reunion is vital. So, what does that take?

Early Planning

The event will have hundreds of former classmates, and bringing them together is no walk in the park. It’s not a week’s work.

Start arrangements at least a year in advance to track your classmate, send the invites and secure a fitting venue. Social media is invaluable in tracking down classmates. For example, create a Facebook group and encourage members to add other classmates.

Select the Right Venue

The pick of venue can make or break the reunion. Therefore, make the right choice the first time round. Typically, an event venue with crowd-pleasing aesthetics, such as the charm of European architecture, natural woodwork, and a balcony wrap-around would be excellent.

In addition to the aesthetics and amenities, Villa Ragusa has a capacity of up to 650 people, which may be more than enough for the purpose. We allow outside catering for those who want to replicate the high school menu.

Choose Right the Activities

The theme of the reunion should be from the year of graduation. If it was in the 90s, the 90s music or the movies would be an excellent center of focus. Choose the best couple, other activities that were a hit at the time, and stories that remind you of your fun.

Avoid anything too embarrassing for particular individuals. You don’t want anything that’ll force anyone to go on a defensive or dampen the mood of the reunion event. While the idea is to have fun, it shouldn’t be at the expense of particular people.

An open bar is handy for people who struggle to sit through the reunion and relive their high school memories. Our mahogany beverage bars are stocked with your favorite drinks that keep the fun going. Talk to our event organizers today to get your high school reunion underway.
