Reunion Planning Software Is Your Assistant
By Haily Potts
If you can dream it, then there’s a software program
for it! Just when you thought organizational software
couldn’t get any better than MS Word, Excel spreadsheets
and Quicken Quickbooks, www.family-reunion.com
released its family reunion planning software to add
another item to your "must-have" list.
Of course, not everyone needs family reunion tips and
ideas, nor do they need help making task lists and keeping
track of addresses or RSVPs. Yet, for $29.95, it certainly
doesn’t hurt to have this neat little program around.
Some programs offered by www.genealogy.com
and Formal Soft even offer additional bonuses, like
family tree creators or scrap-booking features.
Family Reunion Organizer (www.family-reunion.com/organizer/index.htm)
is one of the most popular software programs on the
market for planning family reunions. After an easy CD-ROM
installation, you’ll be able to enter the name of your
gathering and user information, entering the reunion
planner’s name, address, phone number and family reunion
website information.
Building A Family Address Book
Next, you can build your family address book with names,
addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, personal
websites and notes sections. Later on, you will be able
to use this address book to create family reunion invitations,
send out Christmas cards and issue reminders.
Next you can create a survey to send out to family
members, asking for reunion ideas. You will also get
some advice from your program on how to create a theme,
plan activities, decide upon food and order decorations.
Finding Suitable Games
One of the hardest parts of reunion planning is deciding
which family reunion games are suitable for your event.
With the $29.95 Family Reunion Organizer software, you
can work on a schedule for your reunion activities and
meals.
You can create and print award certificates, name tags
and sign-in sheets for the big day. Then you can easily
create thank-you notes and automatically print out the
addresses.
Your Personal Adviser
Your Family Reunion Organizer software will act like
a personal adviser, offering information on choosing
a location and budgeting enough money to cover the expenses.
"If you are going to be planning a family reunion
this year, you can’t afford not to have this program,"
said Rhonda McClure from Family Tree Finders.
Family Origins 10.0 is an additional family reunion
planning software program to consider. You can download
a free 15-day trial at www.formalsoft.com/index.htm.
With this software, you can create a custom family tree,
which includes pictures, family facts, relationship
types, dates and places.
Creating A Database Of Your Family
You’ll have access to dozens of lists, such as personal
timelines, statistics, birthday/anniversary reminder
lists, special place lists and addresses. In essence,
you will be creating a comprehensive database of everyone
in your family line to pass down to future generations
for years to come.
Using the scrap-booking feature, you’ll have no trouble
creating your own creative family reunion gifts. It’s
no wonder their website calls this program "the
fun and easy way to preserve your family history."

More Family Reunion Facts....
How often are family reunions planned?
The great thing about family reunions
is that they can be planned whenever it is most convenient
for all of the family members. If your family is spread
out over a wide distance it may only be feasible to
have a family reunion once a year or even every other
year.
The bigger the family is, the
harder it can be to bring everyone together. But you
should not let distance or size intimidate you. With
the right amount of preparation anyone can plan a fun
family reunion that everyone will enjoy.
The key factor is making sure
that everyone is informed well in advance so they can
make travel arrangements and take time off from work.
If your family is in the same region you may be able
to have a family reunion or get together quite often.
Family time often takes a backseat
to work and other obligations so it is quite easy to
lose track of cousins, aunts, uncles and even grandparents.
It should not be an emergency, funeral or wedding that
brings everyone together.
