I have been getting different feedback about how formal Saturday night should be...please respond with your thoughts.
I know we decided on cocktail attire, should we require a TIE???
Speak up men!
Read below the ideas from the reunion planning website-
Formal reunions can be more enjoyable for many even at the cost of $50 to $100 per head. It’s more likely to be memorable and enjoyable. When it’s an occasion that comes once in 5 or 10 years, it may well be worth paying the extra
bit
There's no reason why you shouldn't consider making your reunion a formal event. Sure it will cost more but that will make it all the more memorable and enjoyable. Especially since it's not every day that you have a reunion, or even every year for that matter. Something that happens once in about 5, 10 or 20 years, if not more, deserves all that much more investment and effort. At about
$50 or 100 per head, it's not all that intimidating.
Make sure the venue you decide on for your reunion is conveniently located for all the participants, some of whom will be living a considerable distance away.
Map out a radius of the different locations your classmates will be coming from, on a map and choose a location that falls roughly halfway from one extreme to the
other. If you decide on having other activities for the reunion, make sure all the locations are conveniently close to the main venue. Ideally it should also be close to your school.
As far as possible try and make sure the surroundings of the venue can serve to remind everybody of school. Put up decorations of items that belonged to the days of your youth.
You could also go in for an informal event, a small gathering or low expense affairs for which some handy tips have been put together for you. For formal events, the most appropriate venues could be country clubs, banquet rooms and hotels. Many hotels offer both a ballroom facility to serve as the setting for your reunion, and rooms to let out for those coming from o0ut of town for the
occasion. Even for the residents of the area, they may prefer to stay the night at the hotel after the event, rather than to drive their way back home at night.
So having the option of staying over will be appreciated.
When booking rooms at the hotel for the reunion invitees, make sure you find out about discounts that hotels normally have for large group bookings. Also try and get the rooms adjoining each other on the same floor. This will create less disturbance for the other guests in the hotel and allow you to be more uninhibited.
