Event Ideas

On the way home from work last night, I had a few ideas of some little things that we could do during the "formal" reunion.

  • Display the talents of our class. Many of us have developed new talents or honed those we started in High School. We could display art, have people perform songs, play videos of performances from plays, etc.
  • Have a photo montage that compares us then and now. I really like this idea, if we can get it to work. I'm envisioning a montage that has random shots from "back in the day" playing throughout the reunion as we are socializing, eating and whatnot. This could be a special presentation that specifically compares then and now. That way, we get to see everyone's family shots as well.
  • Give awards. Cheesy, I know. Maybe we could stay away from "Most Successful" (is anyone the CEO of a Fortune 500 anyway?) and stick with funny awards. Maybe "Where Has My Hair Gone?" for the guy with the biggest bald spot :-), "I Traveled the Farthest", "Most Kids", etc.
  • Photographer. At my mom's ten year reunion, they had photos made of all the attendees. They were your typical "Olan Mills" type shots. I suggest that we try to hire someone to take candid photos (like they did at Frat parties in college...will have to remember the name of that company)
So...there are my ideas so far. Input would be appreciated!
