A successful family reunion starts with a fun idea and most importantly, a simple means of communicating. One way to do this easily is to create a family website on FamilyLobby.com. Creating a web site for a reunion has never been easier. The simple to use templates will have you up and running in less than an hour and will make planning a reunion a breeze.
A successful reunion starts with selecting a date that will be convenient for most of your reunion group. One way to determine a good date for your reunion is to contact everyone through your family web site. A chat or discussion group feature is handy to get feedback from a large group of people. A FamilyLobby.com website can accommodate up to 30 people at a time for a chat session. Be sure to let everyone know the deadline for the selection of your reunion date. This will make it easier for you to move on to the next planning stage – selecting a theme.
Use the poll feature on your web site to find out which theme the majority of attendees would like. Summer themes can include country-western complete with a square dance and bonfire, or the popular Fourth of July celebration with fireworks and a great barbeque. Fall themes can include a harvest supper, a family football game and a quilting bee or knitting circle. Winter themes include Christmas with all of the trimmings or ski trips. Spring themes can highlight Easter with egg hunts for the little ones and a bake-off for adult family members. This is a great way to find out what the best recipes are in your family. Use your family web site to list the recipes after the winners are announced!
After your reunion don’t forget to post photos for everyone to enjoy on your web site. A family website at FamilyLobby.com has plenty of space for all of your special photos. Everyone can create their own gallery to display their collection of photos from the special event. Send out invitations to view the photos after the reunion so that everyone, including those who could not attend, can enjoy them.
A family web site is a great way to keep in contact with family members year ‘round. Create a site this year before your reunion and you will find that planning it will be a snap!
