How to Make Planning Your Family Reunion Fun and Easy in Pulaski County!

Has it been a while since your family got together? If it is time for a reunion so everyone can catch up and see each other again, Fort Wood Hotels can help. There are some things to keep in mind that will make the planning process and the reunion itself more successful. Our hotels in the Fort Leonard Wood area are located conveniently in the center of Missouri, and also the center of the country, which can make it very handy when families are traveling from many different places. We host a lot of family reunions, and we love seeing everyone coming together and having fun and enjoying all this area has to offer. If you would like to hear a few tips and tricks to make your family reunion easier to plan and more enjoyable for everyone, we have some great ideas for you in this week’s blog.

Scheduling and Delegating

The first thing to do is to pick a date that works for the most people possible. That means reaching out to family members and coordinating based on their feedback and interests. Everybody has different schedules, so having time for a zoom call or phone call or meeting may be difficult. A great alternative is to create a Facebook group just for your family to use to plan the reunion. That way people can respond when it’s convenient, and always have a forum to be able to give input and hear everyone else’s ideas. If you’re not sure how to create a Facebook group, you can click here to find an article that will walk you through the process step-by-step. 

While you are getting the Facebook group started and in the initial planning stages, be sure to recruit some help. It is more than one person should take on by themselves, and it could be a tremendous advantage when you have several people working together to brainstorm and come up with the best ideas. You’ll get a feel for what family members are interested in, and where their talents lie. If one person is very detail oriented, let them be in charge of things like booking the lodging. If another person loves food, let them help with planning food options. If you have another family who loves music, or photography, let them be in charge of hiring a photographer, or deciding on some entertainment. Just don’t try to tackle it all by yourself.

Choosing a Location

Once you have a date set, the next thing you will want to do is book your lodging in central Missouri. For that you need to know your exact location. At Fort Wood Hotels, we have four different locations to choose from and each has their own unique style and amenities. As mentioned, our hotels are centrally located, and easy to get to, especially for anyone traveling along interstate 44. Your guests will enjoy the warm welcome they receive and the group-friendly amenities we offer. Even more, they will appreciate the atmosphere and the staff who are here to serve them. You can click here to see what each hotel offers in side-by-side comparison. Keep in mind, Hampton, Fairfield and Comfort Inn are the best options for groups, as the other two are extended stay and not as available for shorter stays.

Planning Things to Do

The Fort Leonard Wood, Saint Robert, Waynesville area really shines when it comes to having a variety of things to do to match everyone’s interest. A great place to start is to go to visit www.pulaskicounty.org. Be sure to order your official visitors guide, click here for a quick link. There you’ll find an impressive variety of options for your family to choose from. For those that like the outdoors, we have lots of choices like fishing, parks and walking trails, outdoor museums, river ways, golf, and more. For those that like history, we have a number of museums and memorials worth visiting. For those who like to shop there are unique antique shops and shopping adventures galore. If you have Foodies in the family, check out the Foodie Trail on the Micro-Adventures Page at www.pulaskicounty.org to see some amazing options. Point being, not everyone has to do the same thing, and everyone will have something to do that they will enjoy. Then the whole crew can meet back at home base at one of our accommodating mid-Missouri hotels.
