Everyone enjoys a family reunion, but it won’t be a successful reunion if only a few members of the family can attend. You need to plan and coordinate everything ahead of time to have a successful family reunion everyone will talk about for years to come. To ensure everything goes smoothly as planned, contact the experts at JHF Catering, known for their superior catering and events venue services in Richmond, KY.

Here are a few helpful tips to ensure your next family reunion will be a success:

• Don’t Plan it Alone: Unless you’re planning a reunion for just a small gathering of family members, consider setting up a committee. You can be the chairperson who will recruit and delegate tasks to the attendees to ensure each aspect of the event will be covered.

• Build a Budget: What can you afford to spend on the event? Decide what the food, entertainment, and accommodations will cost and solicit the other members in your family to chip in. Sharing the cost of the event with your family is an easy way to get everyone involved in the process and keep costs low.

• Survey Attendees: Consider sending out a survey via email to gauge the guests’ interest and preferences. Make sure it covers everything from the family reunion theme, possible dates, and allocated budget to general location options.

• Pick a Date & Location: Based on the survey, choose a date and a location that is most convenient for everyone. For the location, host it in a central venue to help cut down on far-flung family members’ travel expenses.

• Prepare a “Plan B”: If the family reunion will be held in an outdoor venue, consider reserving a pavilion where attendees can gather in case of inclement weather. Think of indoor activities you know all age levels will enjoy.
