What's the first thing I should do?
"You should first gather the general consensus about having a family reunion from your family."

Why is it better to cater a family reunion?
"By catering, family members do not have to worry about preparing or serving food. Catering can be more cost-efficient, and it definitely allows more time for family members to spend together."

What source(s) should I use to begin my search for relatives?
"Question your oldest living relative about your family history. If that is not an option, use the Internet. Web sites like Family Tree Maker, www.familytreemaker.com, will give you in-depth information on how to trace your family history."

How large should I expect my reunion to be?
"Once you have tallied the number of relatives expected from their responses, plan to accommodate at least 10 percent more guests."

What type of venue is most appealing for a reunion location?
"The location for your reunion weighs heavily on where the majority of your relatives would like it to be. Usually, a central location is decided upon, being that all family members do not live in the same city."
