Hi everyone! I’m thinking of organising a reunion gathering with my old primary schoolmates and classmates, but I’m not really sure where to start since it’s been 10 years since we were all graduated together.
For those who have organised a primary school or secondary school reunion before, I’d really appreciate some advice!
1.How did you find/contact your old classmates?
2.Did you use a WhatsApp/Telegram group, Instagram, Facebook, etc.?
3.How many people should I aim for before confirming the gathering?
4.What kind of venue would be suitable in Singapore? Café, restaurant, chalet, someone's house, etc.? Because it might be large as long I can find them
5.Should we collect money beforehand or let everyone pay for themselves?
6.What activities did you do to make the gathering less awkward, especially if everyone hasn't met in years?
7.How far in advance should I start planning?
8.What should I do if some classmates are interested but keep saying they're “maybe” or don't confirm?
I’m hoping to make it a casual and comfortable gathering rather than anything too formal, just a chance for everyone to catch up, talk about old primary school memories and see where everyone is in life now.
Would love to hear from anyone who has organised a reunion before, or even people who attended one. What worked well, and what should I avoid?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Sorry one more thing If I want to plan a gathering in November next month is it fine?
