There is no place like back to college days. You laugh through the belly-aching jokes, your stomach hurts from all that laughter, and the bond only grows stronger as you move ahead.
Of course, planning a reunion is not that easy. How can you make it funny, free from stress, and memorable?
Do not worry, though. Below are five helpful tips on how to make your reunion with your former college friends successful.
Plan Early
Time waits for no one, and people get busy. Prepare in advance and have maximum attendance. Then, reach out to all your friends by giving all the potential dates and see who works best using the group chat, email thread, or online poll. This provides enough time to finalize the venues and activities and organize travel without doing it at the last minute.
Find a Convenient Location
Set the mood for your reunion. Select a location that most of your friends can easily access. If your group is spread across the country (or even worldwide), consider a central location.
For something unique, consider places that are meaningful to your college years, such as your campus town or favorite hangout spot. Ensure the venue fits your group size and has adequate amenities for a comfortable stay.
Plan a Fun Iterinary
A reunion needs only the right amount of planned activities and free time. Plan an enjoyable activity that everyone will enjoy, such as a trivia session for the college or just a friendly barbecue. Playing online bingo is going to be a super fun pastime for game fans. Good times fill up in some other activity and leave space open for when moments occur.
Capture the Moments
Photos and videos will be your time machine for this special event. You may hire a photographer or ask each of you to shell out some bucks to take candid shots. Through your budget, you can prepare an online folder to share with all members, and everybody can upload their pictures taken after the reunion—a treasure trove of memories to view. You can also make a photo book or video montage and present it later to the group as a reunion memory.
Focus on Connection
This means reconnecting with your friends rightly. It’s not how fancy the location is or what else you can put up as part of your events, but the actual conversations, jokes, and other memories are to be relived.
So first, talk about everything that’s happened in all of your lives, then celebrate why you guys were brought together. Challenge each other not to get too plugged in so you can spend quality time with each other.
Wrapping Up
Rekindle your golden old ties with your beloved college friends–the greatest excuse to renew warm bonds. After some planning and fun, this fantastic event will hopefully be remembered for years to come. So forward those messages and let people enjoy this momentous countdown to this unforgettable reunion. Have a happy reunion!
