How to Start a Reunion Planning Business

Reunions are always fun, but putting one together is a lot of hard work. That's why many people planning a reunion look to a professional reunion planner to help them get things together.

Whether it's a family, high school, college or any type of reunion, there are plenty of opportunities for you. As a planner, you might:

• Locate party members and find their contact information.
• Put together invitations
• Managing RSVPs
• Renting location, equipment and supplies needed.
• Hiring and coordinating with vendors like caterers, entertainers, etc.

If you don't have reunion planning experience, get out and get some. You can plan for friends, a school or anyone you know getting ready for a reunion. That experience will get you on your way to acquiring paying clients.

A good reunion planner has good research skills as you'll often be locating people who have been out of contact for several years. You also need to be organized and detail oriented in order to ensure everything is done according to your client's needs. In addition, you need to meet deadlines, work well with others and be able to manage budgets. If that sounds like you, this might be the perfect business for you.
