<p>How are we going to get “opinions” from the rest of the family?</p>
<p>Here is where we need to find out what the rest of the family thinks.  Admittedly, we do not know your family; you do.  You need to make this section fit your family.  Let us be clear.</p>
<p>If your family is laid back, you might want to tell them where to have it.</p>
<p>If your family is full of opinionated souls, you might want to give them an opportunity to “have their say” then continue from there.</p>
<p>This is your call and we trust you to make the right decision.</p>
<p>Our Branson Family Reunion Planner provides you template emails you can copy, edit, paste and email to your family.  <a href="http://www.aweber.com/users/web_forms/preview_form/2082010511">Click here for the free download. </a></p>
<p>One word of advice, keep your eye on the big picture.  You want your family to get together.  You want a family reunion that will causes smiles, laughter, maybe a few tears, and creates lifelong memories. You may need to take a step back.  You might find people want to have a family reunion, but the majority has a different idea from you. If your goal is getting the family together, mission accomplished.</p>
<p>However, if your real goal was going to a specific location, then a family reunion really is not your goal.  No problem, just tell your family where you are going and invite them to join you.</p>
<p><strong>Step Five:    Get some help.</strong></p>
<p>Your family, like ours, is made up of people with a variety of talents.  Let’s get those talents to work for you.  We have included a talent finder guide that will assist you in keeping track of the jobs needed and who in the family is best suited for the job.</p>
<p>Don’t underestimate this step.  You need help and the more help you receive from your family, the more “buy-in” you will receive from the family.  When you allow your family to participate, you are telling them they are important and you value them and their help.</p>
<p>Be clear on your expectations. Verify they are getting their job done and praise them when they complete the process.</p>
<p>Do not be a control freak&#8230;.there are many ways to do just about anything.  Just because they did not do it the exact way you would have done it, doesn&#8217;t mean it won&#8217;t work.</p>
<p><strong>Step Six: How to communicate regarding your Family Reunions</strong></p>
<p>The key to the communication process is to make it easy for you and them.  Communication is vital and somewhat tricky.  You MUST keep everyone informed while not being overbearing.  Here are some tips.</p>
<p>Create a family Facebook Page.  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IdeasForFamilyReunions">Come on over and like Branson Family Reunion Planner on Facebook.<br />
</a></p>
<p>Create a group email. Schedule a regular email update, for example every Saturday, and send out the details.  Even if there is nothing BIG to report, keep people in the loop.  The same time you send out the email, you should post it on your Facebook account.</p>
<p>If something major or really exciting happens, you can give a special update during the week.</p>
<p>People want to be informed. They do not want to be bugged.  It is imperative to keep your family updated without becoming the pest no one wants to be around.</p>

<p><a href="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fotosearch_k4171858-3-steps.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-840" title="Fotosearch_k4171858 3 steps" src="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fotosearch_k4171858-3-steps.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>First things first, thank you for being a special person who puts other people first.  You are reading this article because you have always had the desire of having a true family reunion.  That takes a person who is willing to put others first. We need more people like that in the world today.  Thank you for being so special.</p>
<p>Family reunions allow families to spend time together, talk to each other, and allow the generations to learn from each other.  When that happens, families become stronger.  Stronger families make stronger communities!  We need a whole more of that these days.</p>
<p>We are excited about sharing these first three steps of having a family reunion. Reading this list won’t make it happen.  Sharing this list with your family won’t make it happen. It takes action to make things happen.  When you get done reading this, take action, do the steps we talked about and let&#8217;s get the plans started.  Your family deserves a family reunion. You might as well be the leader that gets it started.</p>
<p><strong>Step One:    Let’s get some “Buy-In”</strong></p>
<p>Share the goals of your family reunion with a couple members of your family. There is safety in numbers and the more people on board, the quicker the momentum starts.  Give yourself a little time here, make sure you have the time to contact the family “leaders” and get their buy-in regarding your family reunion.</p>
<p><strong>Step Two:    Determine what kind of family reunion:</strong></p>
<p>Are you having a stand alone family reunion or a celebration family reunion?  A stand alone family reunion is just that, a family reunion.A celebration family reunion is a family reunion tied to a major anniversary, birthday, or wedding.  Is there a major anniversary happening soon?</p>
<p><strong>Step Three:     Determine where you are going to have your family reunion.</strong></p>
<p>Let us be clear, we want you to come to Branson, Missouri and have your family reunion.  Our partners are here to help you have a great time. <a href="http://forms.aweber.com/form/11/2082010511.htm">Click here and we can get you the information regarding the best of the best of Branson.</a></p>
<p>There are a number of options of where you are going to have your family reunion. You can have a destination family reunion, an in town family reunion, or a home family reunion.  Let’s make sure that we are clear on our definitions.</p>
<p>A destination family reunion:    Where everyone meets in a resort or vacation town.</p>
<p>An in town family reunion:        In a family members town, perhaps a motel, civic center or church</p>
<p>At a home family reunion:        At the home of a family member.</p>
<p>Wasn&#8217;t that easy? The first three steps of planning a family reunion.  Now, get started, make the call and talk to your family.  The quicker you get busy, the quicker you will hear the laughter of your family at their family reunion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fotosearch_k1235350-picture-of-a-picture.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-833 aligncenter" title="Fotosearch_k1235350 picture of a picture" src="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fotosearch_k1235350-picture-of-a-picture-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Purpose is important in everything you do.  When there is a purpose behind the event, it is always much better.  You can give your family reunion purpose that will last a lifetime.  These four ideas will take your family reunion to the next level.</p>
<p><strong>Honor the older generation</strong></p>
<p>We strongly encourage you to give your family reunion some purpose beyond just getting together.  There are so many different opportunities here to really shine and make people feel great.</p>
<p>Create a contest where people try to identify the “older generations” baby pictures.</p>
<p>Create a list of the major advancements that have happened in their lifetime.  Give them the opportunity to talk about those advancements and how life was different before them.</p>
<p>Talk about the families (if applicable) military experience.  You might want to spotlight one or two people, but make sure everyone is mentioned for their service.</p>
<p><strong>How to get the younger generation involved!</strong></p>
<p>In the old days, children were supposed to be seen, not heard.  We would not advise that attitude with your family reunion.  If done correctly, the younger family members will not only have a great time, but will want to keep the tradition going when they get older. Here are some ideas that will keep the younger people interested.</p>
<p>Have the young people do a video interview with one, or more, of your older generation.</p>
<p>Have the young people &#8220;coach&#8221; an older person in a tweet contest.</p>
<p><strong>How are we going to be crazy cool with this Family Reunion?</strong></p>
<p>Make sure the Facebook page is constantly being updated so the rest of the family (who can’t attend the reunion) can see what is happening.</p>
<p>Appoint two camera crews and have them video events and give a presentation at the end of the family reunion.  With two teams, you can have one video one event and the second one video the next one.</p>
<p><strong>Games, Activities, and Special Touches</strong></p>
<p>Buy a newly wed game and have an experienced couple, a middle aged couple, and newly wed couple compete in front of the family.  Every family has a person who would love to emcee the event.</p>
<p>Create a trivia game based on real family information.</p>
<p>Create a calendar.   Take the pictures of the reunion and put together a family calendar.  There are a number of web based opportunities to have those calendars printed.  Here are some ideas.</p>
<p>Fill in the family birthdays and anniversaries.</p>
<p>Feature an immediate family per month.  (If there are not enough families, spotlight the reunion in the other months)</p>
<p>Possibly schedule next year’s reunion in the calendar.  The sky is the limit on how detailed you want to be with the calendar.  Those calendars will become very important to people in years to come.</p>
<p>We would love for you to have your family reunion in Branson, Missouri.  We have made it easy and simple to get you information from the best of the best of Branson.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="sign" src="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fotosearch_k0999839-Warning-sign.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="102" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You want it perfect!  You want everyone to have a good time.  You need family reunion ideas and family activities that will keep your family entertained and excited.  Most of all, you want success without going crazy.</p>
<p>First of all, thank you for taking the lead and planning your family reunion.  At <a href="http://www.BransonFamilyReunionPlanner.com">Branson Family Reunion Planner</a>, we are on  a mission for more families to invest the time to get together.  We believe that is an investment with an incredible return.</p>
<p>Second, we don&#8217;t want you to go crazy.  We want you to be a rock star.  For that to happen, you need to do three things.</p>
<p>1.  Realize nothing is perfect.  Just do your best.</p>
<p>2.  Stay focused on the end result.</p>
<p>3.  Avoid these common mistakes in planning a family reunion.</p>
<p>Mistake 1:    Not communicating with your family.  God bless you for being the “go to person” for your family reunion.  It is vital that you communicate with the rest of the family. Keep them in loop.  You might even create a Facebook page and only allow family members to join. That way you can communicate with them all at one time.</p>
<p>Mistake 2:    Trying to do it all.  Again, you are the go to person which is great.  That does not mean you have to do all the work.  You have family members with various talents and abilities.  Sit down early in the process and look at your to do list and see which person has the skill set to help you.  Then go to that person, early in the process, and ask for their help.  They might even come up with a better idea.  This takes some work off you, but it also builds buy in for the reunion.</p>
<p>Mistake 3:    Over Scheduling.  There needs to be some down time in the scheduling.  Visiting is a key part of family reunions. Allow time for people to visit.  In that vain, it is okay if not everyone at the reunion wants to do the same thing all the time. There should be time for immediate families to spend time together too.</p>
<p>Mistake 4:    Not giving yourself enough time.  A family reunion needs time to plan.  Don’t try to throw it together at the last minute.</p>

<p><a href="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Planner-PNG-Other-small.png"><img class="wp-image-95 aligncenter" title="Planner PNG Other small" src="http://bransonfamilyreunionplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Planner-PNG-Other-small-300x155.png" alt="" width="300" height="155" /></a></p>
<p>You want to get the family together for some fun activities?  Family reunion ideas must include fun for big kids, little kids, and kids of all ages.  The key to any fun family activity is planning.  Here is how Branson, Missouri can help.</p>
<p>Branson is sometimes thought of as just music and for most people, Country Music.  Well, you can find country music in Branson, but you will find fun family activities that will keep everyone having a good time.  Let us suggest:</p>
<p><a title="Branon Scenic Railway" href="http://BransonTrain.com">Branson Scenic Railway</a>  Billed as the most relaxing thing to do, Branson Scenic Railway will provide some amazing views of the Ozark mountains, plus a little bit of history.  In addition to the excitement of riding on the train, you may move from car to car which will keep the most restless in your party entertained.  All aboard Branson Scenic Railway.</p>
<p><a href="http://branson.dixiestampede.com/">The Dixie Stampede</a>.  Branson&#8217;s most fun place to eat!  Dolly Parton guarantees it.  Dixie Stampede is an attraction or is it a show? Or is it a restaurant?  The Dixie Stampede is fun, classy, and will entertain your entire family.  The food (You bring the utensils, really) is always amazing, the entertainers (performers) are top notch.  Every member of the family will enjoy Branson&#8217;s Dixie Stampede.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hollywoodwaxmuseum.com/branson/">Branson&#8217;s Hollywood Wax Museum</a>.  The museum has recently undergone a multimillion dollar renovation.  It is a true land mark on Branson&#8217;s famous West Highway 76.  The Hollywood Wax Museum is devoted entirely to celebrity figures.  All ages will enjoy!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.titanicbranson.com/">Branson&#8217;s Titanic Museum Attraction</a>.  2012 marks the 100th year of the sinking of the titanic and that makes it a special time to visit a truly special place in Branson.  From the Titanic history buff to the young person who is just learning about this incredible story, the entire family will learn, love and enjoy Branson&#8217;s Titanic Museum Attraction.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bransonducks.com">Ride the Ducks.</a>   Their #1 ranking by TripAdvisor is well earned.  Ride the Ducks is an incredible opportunity for your family to sit down, let someone else drive, and enjoy the trip.  Ride the Ducks will take you to areas you would not normally get to go &#8212; amazing views, the lakes&#8230;You need to Ride, Splash, Drive and Quack.</p>
<p><strong></strong>These are just a few reasons why Branson, Missouri is a great place for your family reunion.  Let&#8217;s take some time to see why Family Reunions are important.</p>
<p>1.  Family is important.  Too many conversations have been held at a funeral visitation talking about how the family &#8220;should have&#8221; gotten together.  Take the initiative to kick the &#8220;should&#8221; out of should have and get the family together.  You investment will pay off down the road.</p>
<p>2.  There was a time our generations passed down information.  Now, we just put it in the computer.  The respondents to our survey say the younger generation teaching the older and the older teaching the younger is one of the most important reasons to have a family reunion.  <a href="http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e4mygogcgrihe5n1/start">We want your input, click here for our survey.</a> In order for that to happen, you need to make sure there is enough &#8220;visit time&#8221; scheduled into the reunion.  Do not try to over produce this.  Just give them time and see what happens.</p>
<p>3.  Family Reunions honor the older generations.  We believe a family reunion must have something for everybody.  That&#8217;s why we encourage you to have it in Branson, Missouri.  However, a family reunion is really special for our older generations and honoring our older generations should be important to all of us.</p>
<p>As you can see family reunions are important, but they don&#8217;t have to be hard to plan.  Here are three tips to help you in planning.</p>
<p>1.  Get some buy-in.  You are getting ready to walk down a road that will be fun, frustrating, and very rewarding.  You might as well have some company.  Touching base with a family member who can help garner support for the idea makes a lot of good sense.</p>
<p>2.  Take a breath, relax, and remember that planning is planning whether you are building a house, fixing dinner, or planning a family reunion.  Start with the end in mind and go from there.  It is also important to understand that there will be some mistakes, miscommunication, and &#8220;issues.&#8221;  Stay calm. Everything will be okay.</p>
<p>3.  Keep everything in perspective. It is important to know the difference between wanting to have a family reunion or visit a place and hope some family comes along.  Let us explain.  If you want to have a family reunion, that should be the only thing that really matters.  If you suggest a family reunion and the majority of the family wants to have it, but have it in a different place than you suggested, you should be excited and go with the flow.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you are hoping to visit a specific place and invite some people along, that is really not a family reunion.  One is not right and one is not wrong, just don&#8217;t get them confused.</p>
<p>Why Branson?  Branson, Missouri is the perfect place for a family reunion.  Branson Family Reunion Planner is a the perfect partner. Here are three reasons why.</p>
