Class reunions are, in all ways, a great way to revive a blast from the past. While it’s nostalgic and fun to have the whole lot of you r gang, including the geek, the cheerleader and the cute one together, arranging a party also involves a whole lot of work. If you are the party organizer this year, then you might want to have a party checklist to make everything well-sorted out beforehand.
#1: On Inviting And Communicating
Your pals might be living across the length and breadth of the nation now (or even abroad). So, when it comes to inviting one and all, get ready to communicate a great deal. But internet is right there to help you. Take the assistance of FB, for example, or similar networking sites. Reach out to them and spread the word through your ‘save the date’ invitations… You can personalize the invitation. Think of some cool innovative ideas. And in case you are a struck with too many ideas, then you might ask another friend to help you out.
#2: On Sweet Memories
Think of wearing name tags along with your school photographs, and get your old buddies check and consider how much you have (or have not) changed since your school days. You can also play different games. Such as, conduct a name guessing contest by using cut out photos of your teachers. What is more, you can think of a name trivia contest and ask your friends various questions pertaining to your hometown, memorable school events and anything that your mind can perceive.
#3: On Dressing Up
What about opting for a thematic party? At least, you can always ask your friends to dress up in the style that was prevalent in the decade you grew up. If that does not work out, then you can think of some classic options such as peace-signed jewelries, polka dotted shirts, flowered pants or leisure suits. Again, if you grew up in the eighties, then a punk wig, a jelly bracelet or a baggy sweatshirt might do the trick for you. To add up to the retro feel of your party, it is also a good idea to go for a Photo Booth Hire. You will find a number of reputable service providers offering you a number of retro-themed backdrops to choose from. Let your friends go inside and pose uninhibitedly, just like in the way they used to do in their schooldays. Additionally, they will be able to take home ‘keepsake’ photos as party favours.
#4: On Deciding On The Menu
The best memories in childhood days, you all would probably agree, revolve around the lunch tables. If you are in two minds about deciding on a menu, then go straight to the restaurant and see if they have anything nice too suggest you. Whether you want to go for a formal or informal menu, it should all depend on the type of group that you are inviting and on your budget. However, before you finalize the menu, make sure that you check if any of your friends have any special dietary needs. You also have the option to set up a mini bar and have your own bartender to cater to your people.
#5: On Playing The Music
Finally, it goes without saying that no party is complete without music that creates an electrifying atmosphere and makes all let their hair down. When it comes to choosing the right music to set the right mood, you can either hire a D.J, or, if you want to make things more economically, then make a list of the chartbusters of the year of your graduation. A local band can also be of some help. With the perfect music playing, you are sure to revive a number of sweet memories to all.
