It depends on the type of family and friends day you want to have, as this will determine the kind of things you will need to organize. If you are unsure of where to start, follow these suggestions:
- Think about why you are holding the family and friends day. Is it to help people meet each other or is it to celebrate a particular event? On the other hand, it may be an attempt to raise money for a special cause or for a charity.
- Before doing anything else, pick a date for the event. This may sound obvious but if you need to give people enough notice of such an event to make sure they can attend. Also, you need to make sure you have enough time to put all the finishing touches to the event.
- As you may have people of varying ages and from different backgrounds present, you will need to ensure you have entertainment that will appeal to them all. Think about if you want to organize a singer or band of some type to play some music.
- Regardless of why you are holding the event, food and drink is always going to be a very important part of any friends and family day. If you have a limited budget, why not ask those who will be attending to bring along certain dishes for everyone to enjoy. Alternatively, you may think about getting a caterer in who can prepare a wide selection of foods to appeal to a variety of tastes.
