If your family is thinking reunion, why not create a reunion that will be memorable for those who cannot attend. It’s not uncommon for families to live thousands of miles from each other and getting everyone together for a reunion may not be possible. To get as many people as possible involved in your family reunion why not create a video that can be shared among family members and then passed on for future generations. Ask for non-attendee participation. If you have a lot of time to prepare for the reunion and a little spare time to put together a video (new computer programs make this easier than ever) you can even include people who cannot attend in the actual day. Have everyone send you a few family photos, make sure they’re clearly labeled, and then create a video montage with clear subtitles so everyone knows who they’re seeing and from what year. If you have willing family members, have them do some brief video interviews with the senior family members. Ask them to recount how they met their significant other, or what they did to build the family business, or when their children were born. Make sure the tales relate to the family and will have significant interest for everyone. Ask attendees to bring photos. While you’re playing the video let them pull out other pictures and share their memories while the interest of others is already piqued. This strengthens family bonds and gives people who may not have a strong connection something to talk about. At the end of the reunion have several copies of the video to pass out so your family can always cherish the memories. And don’t forget to send copies to the non-attendees.
