Planning a family reunion?
Now is the time to start talking about/planning a family reunion for this summer–or be really on top of things and plan it for next summer! I don’t think there’s anything more frustrating then to get a letter/email/phone call like this:
"So, you’re coming to the reunion next month, right? EVERYONE is going to be there!!"
…and depending on what type of extended family you have you could also hear/read this:
"What do you mean you can’t AFFORD to come? Everyone is coming! How will it look if you’re the only person that doesn’t come, & so forth."
Whereas after that last bit maybe you don’t want to go anymore–family reunions are still a must-do at least once a decade. C’mon–really! But when the planning is last minute–it can really hamper previous vacation plans, and getting time off work/school could be sticky too. So if you’d like to see your family, start NOW on the family reunion stuff.
Here’s some links to planning, hope you enjoy!
