The holiday season is the perfect time to plan a large family reunion. Whether it's around Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas, or New Year's, chances are much of your extended family will have time off work and school to make trips they wouldn't be available for any other time of the year. Here are a few tips on planning a memorable family reunion during the holidays — and making sure you have all the party supplies you’ll need for such a large gathering. 

3 Tips for Executing a Great Holiday Family Reunion

1. Pick a Date Far in Advance

Large family reunions that include not only parents, children, and spouses but aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws require a substantial amount of planning. Start looking at dates and locations a month or more in advance, and confer with as many family members as possible. The goal is to find a date that works for as many people as possible on your guest list. 

2. Delegate Responsibilities 

Few people can handle planning and organizing a large family reunion by themselves. Whoever is spearheading the event should look to a spouse, sibling, or parent to delegate tasks like communicating with extended family, scouting possible locations, and considering different cuisines. 

3. Rent Party Supplies

Whether you're planning on holding the reunion at a banquet hall or your own home, you'll need a lot of extra chairs, tables, dishes, and other furniture to keep everyone comfortable. Consider reaching out to a supplier ahead of time and renting all the necessary party supplies you don’t have on hand.
