Family reunions are a time for distant relatives to catch up and reminisce. Make the reunion more inviting and give it an ambiance with conversation starters such as photo collages, kids areas, fun games and family information for everyone to share and cherish. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Order napkins from a company that prints your photo on the napkin. For the photo, use a copy of your family tree. The napkins adds a nice touch. Use as a keepsake them, so order enough for using and saving.
2. Collect photos of your ancestor. Attach tags to each photo with information about who the person is, date of birth and death. Put the photos on popsicle sticks and place them in decorated flower baskets so they pop out the tops. Use the photo baskets as centerpieces.
3. Place a big tag board up in an area where family reunion guests can bring their own photos to display. Leave a supply of double stick tape that's easily removed from the photos when the reunion is done. Put sticky notes in an accessible area to be placed in the corners of the photos with information written on them.
4. Make an art corner for kids at the family reunion. Put a stack of white paper, crayons and markers on a table with several chairs. Ask each child that comes to draw a family portrait. Provide tape to hang the portraits on the wall after the child is done.
5. Use pictures from previous family reunions as a decorative game. Put black dots or pieces of black paper over the faces of previous reunion goers and have guests at this year's family reunion guess who's in the photos.
