When planning your reunion, you'll need to decide on a location. Will people meet there for the day, or stay for a night -- or longer? Local convention and visitors' bureaus are good places to start looking. They can give you information on hotels, conference centers, state parks, resorts, and college campuses. You can also check with museums and local area parks. Remember, you don't have to have all the events in the same place where people are staying.

Some places will cost money, so you'll need to find out how much family members might be able to chip in. You'll also want to find out what everyone wants to do during the reunion: hang out with family, shop, sightsee, go to an amusement park, etc. Knowing what people want to do will help you choose a good spot for everyone.

Eating together is an important part of a reunion. Talk to family members about bringing foods, from salads to desserts and everything in between! You'll also want to find out if anyone has special dietary needs and plan accordingly.
