A few practical tips to keep the reunion relaxed & enjoyable for everyone
Choose a central hotel or downtown area as your “home base.”
Schedule one or two anchor events (e.g., a welcome dinner, a group photo, or a farewell brunch).
Leave free time built into the schedule; reunions thrive on unplanned conversations.
Consider accessibility needs for older family members or alumni.
Book venues, reservations, and hotels early, especially during football season and peak event weekends.
