Location of eventLocation Home – If you know of a family member that would love to share their home with other guests then that might be an excellent option, however, to reduce the stress for one individual you might want to hold the reunion in a vacation rental home so that you can hire someone else to do the cleaning for you. If a family member insists that they really want to hold the reunion, do not complain and let them. Picnic – If you are having a one-day reunion a nice picnic in a park might be an excellent location for a family reunion. The nice aspect of a park is that there are many activities that the group can participate in and the location can accommodate a large crowd. Many times a park will have grills, restrooms, playground equipment, easy access to short hikes and other activities. Camping – An outdoor camping trip might not work for everyone in your family so before you plan this location, you will want to talk with the members of the family. The nice fact is that everyone in the family is outdoors, it is inexpensive, there are many activities to participate in, a big tent can accommodate indoor activities if it rain, a campfire can bring out the cheer, and the idea of spending time outdoors will help relax everyone in the family. You can save money by telling everyone to cook their own food and perhaps have one community dinner night. Do not forget the s’mores! Hotels – The nice aspect of a hotel is that everyone has their own area yet are staying in the same building. Many hotels will have a common meeting room that you can reserve and dining options that you can make arrangements. The best part of a hotel is that there are pools, fitness rooms, game rooms, and banquet facilities. Group discounts can be found for bulk room rates. The problem you can encounter is that there are other guests in the hotel. Bed and Breakfast – This accommodation is an excellent way to truly reserve the entire place. With a bed and breakfast you could reserve the entire building with each guest and have the freedom to let the kids roam, the parents sit and have a drink on the deck, the elderly to play card games, and the teenagers to gossip with each other. Perfect for a small reunion with family members that enjoy the closeness. Vacation Rental Home – Rental homes give the reunion members an opportunity to cook together, share in games, plan activities from the home, relax is a very comfortable atmosphere, and offers activities close or a remote location for peace and solitude. Thinking of doing something completely different for you family reunion? How about taking a cruise, spending a week golfing, exploring the ocean, going to a dude ranch, fishing retreat, or a trip to Las Vegas. The skies the limit, but remember the relatives might be strict penny pinchers so approve the location by everyone before you book it! |
