- Large groups have just as much fun as the smaller groups and visa-versa
- Plan at least a year in advance
- Send out invitations to all family members and expect good support from those 45 and older.
- Put forth a little extra effort to get younger family members involved.
- Plan a two or three day event.
- Use a park for lunch one day and a banquet hall for dinner the next
