Plan a Family Reunion in the Mid-West! Fort Leonard Wood is Centrally Located!

The year is already going by quickly which means it's time to start making plans for travel in 2022! Have you been tossing around the idea of having a family reunion? With the reduced travel the past couple of years, do you feel like it's time to get the family back together? Why not plan a family reunion! Not sure where to start? Read on to get a few tips from Fort Wood Hotels! 



Step 1: Set a Date and Find Help 

The first step to planning a family reunion is picking a date. It's a good idea to reach out to a few family members and present them with the idea of having a family reunion and get some feedback on interest and possible dates. Social media is a great place to do this! You likely have most of your extended family on Facebook but you may not have their phone numbers. Create a private group and start inviting people to the page. You can start a discussion in the group and decide on a date that works best for the majority of people. By creating a private Facebook page, you can grant people permission to invite other family members you may have forgotten about, post itineraries, discuss ideas, and most importantly get a headcount of how many people you are expecting.

During this process, this is the time to recruit some help! You won't want to tackle the entire reunion on your own. Ask a few family members to help and assign them specific tasks like food, activities, lodging, hiring a photographer, etc. 

Step Two: Book Your Location 

Once you lock down a date, you'll want to book your location as soon as possible. The Comfort Inn, Fairfield Inn, and Hampton Inn are perfect locations for groups staying in and around Fort Leonard Wood, Saint Robert, and Waynesville. Our convenient easy access location is also a great fit for those traveling along Interstate 44. With a warm welcome reception and group-friendly amenities, we are here to serve! 

Step Three: Plan the Main Event 

If you've planned for an entire weekend for the reunion, you will want to make sure you have the main event planned. The Hampton Inn is the perfect location for your reunion! Ensuring our guests are happy and that every detail of their event is taken care of is paramount to us here at the Hampton Inn in Saint Robert. Our event space is getting fully remodeled and we expect this to be complete in April!

Step Four: Plan Activites 

Hosting your family reunion in Fort Leonard Wood is the perfect location because there is plenty to keep the family busy while you're in town. Consider putting together a few activities and offering options for people to participate. Not everyone has to do the same activities, offer a few suggestions and help coordinate directions, pricing, etc. Below are just a few fun things to do in and around Fort Leonard Wood! 
  • Route 66 Courthouse Museum 
  • The Old Stagecoach Stop House Museum 
  • Bennett Spring State Park 
  • Ha Ha Tonka State Park
  • Roubidoux Springs
