Considerations To Be Made When Planning For LDS Family Reunions

By Marci Nielsen


For different people reunions carry different weight. People attend them because of a variety of reasons such as bonding with relatives, catching up on the old times, strengthening the relationship, uniting each other and even solving burning issues. They act as a tool that unifies families together. When families meet for gatherings and share positive experiences, the unity grows which instills aspects of respect love and peace among them. They act as a platform to teach the younger members of the importance of togetherness. You should always have a plan when deciding to hold LDS family reunions.

Organizing is among the main components that will make the reunion a success. Without a proper laid out plan the majority due to poor organization may not feel the essence. A chairperson is selected in order to have one head leading the entire team. This will make any sort of planning effective since they will be relaying the information to all the members.

Time is a major aspect that should never be forgotten. Whenever people fail to show up for the get together, main reason is normally the timing. Therefore while laying the plan a holiday period especially weekends is the best time to have the reunion. This will actually increase the number of people who will show up.

The place where the reunion will be held should be identified early for the preparations to be made prior. Nearness of the venue to where the members live should not be too exaggerated since this may discourage most of them from turning up. The theme determines if the event will be appropriate either indoors or outdoors. In case the weather does not turn out as expected, then it is important to get a backup plan that will not be affected by the weather.

Activities held on that day ought to be interesting and engage everyone for better interaction to be realized. The activities are planned in accordance to the theme. This should be indicated in the invite cards so that everyone comes with relevant materials that are required for the activities. If the theme is heritage then it can be accompanied with activities involving singing or dancing.

What ultimately markets the get together is the invitation card.it should be unique for the members to turn up in great number. Invite cards will require sacrifice of resources. People will show up just because of a good invite that had a picture of last gathering. These appeals greatly to the invited.

For the case of equipment, the chairperson should be able to organize for the required equipment. This equipment may include as good sound system, film projectors, loud speakers, microphone and cameras. The main idea is to make this day memorable. Games should also be considered especially for younger generation.

When the reunion day finally arrives, it is important not to forget that what is required is just having fun. That is why ball games are greatly recommended, these games are often seen as interesting and the attention that it gets will allow fresh family members to interact freely with the rest.
