Tips for your family reunion
Plan by household
Ask each household to take one or two items, rather than asking each person.
Give traveling relatives easy jobs
People flying in can't carry a casserole. Paper goods, ice or a store-bought dessert let them help without any fuss.
Print one for the older relatives
Keep a printed copy, and fill it in for anyone who would rather call you than use a link.
Ask someone to bring photos
Old photos often become the highlight of the day, so the list includes them.
Common questions
How do you organize food for a family reunion?
Have the organizers cover the main or the venue, then ask each household to claim a side, dessert or supplies from a shared list.
When should I send the list to relatives?
Share it once your date is set, then send a reminder about three weeks before the reunion.
Can relatives without smartphones join in?
Yes. The sheet works on any computer, and you can also print a paper version.
