Holding a class reunion party has never been so easy thanks to the emergence of online social networking websites such as Myspace and Facebook.

This being said, statistics show that the average attendance for class reunion parties is only between 10 – 25%. This is probably due to anxiety and nervousness about facing former foes, loves and classmates.

If you follow these class reunion ideas, you will stand a better chance of having a high attendance record and you will also throw a party that your guests will always remember:

1. Throwing a class reunion party can create a lot of stress for anybody. So why not recruit a former class mate or two to share the responsibilities?

2. Remember that many of your former classmates will be travelling great distances to attend your event. They will have careers and families to factor in! Make sure you allow as much notice as possible, even up to a year and beyond!

3. You should dedicate a website or at least a Facebook group to your class reunion party! This would be far better than sending out invitations. This way your former classmates will be able to see who is attending and will be able to look forward to the event.

4. Put a form on your website so you can find out preliminary information such as:

a. Do you have a vegetarian preference? You need to plan the meals after all!

b. Accommodation needed? If enough of your guests will be requiring accommodation then you could negotiate a group discount at a nearby hotel!

c. Extras? Do your guests wish to order dvd’s of the event, pens, photos etc.

d. Photos! Get your classmates to upload a school photo!

e. Payment – Have a link to Paypal so that payment can be sent in advance.

5. Hire a professional photographer for the event. If enough people have sent in a school day photo via the website then you can have both an early and present day photo one after the other on the dvd!

6. Play music from the year of your graduation! Very nostalgic!

7. To avoid the inevitable embarrassments, provide name tags for everybody!

8. The food you provide should be top notch. Remember this is an extremely special occasion that has been a long time in the making.
