School Reunion

Posted: under Arts, Entertainment and Music.

Your school reunion can be a blast from the past or make you feel like a male dog that was dropped off at the vet and came back with less than he went in with. Feelings from the past tend to come back as memories rush forward making them feel like they just happened yesterday.

Regardless of what your high school experience was like, you can still have a blast at your school reunion. Make a decision to have an awesome time and you will. It’s just that simple.

School Reunion Funnies

Tell different people different things about yourself that are totally made up and see how long it takes for the rumors to get around and everyone be confused. Tell one person you’re a doctor. Tell another person you’re a lawyer. Tell someone you’re married and tell someone else you’re not. Say you have four kids. Say you have no kids. Tell someone about your expensive home and tell someone else you still live with your mother.

School Reunion Connections

You can reconnect and stay connected with your old school buddies long before and long after the reunion. Even if you’re not in charge of planning the reunion, you can still connect everyone online by creating a web page about your school reunion and inviting them to the page.

Simple create your own online networking forum for your entire class, through use of Web 2.0 technologies. They’re user friendly, extremely simple to use, and best of all, free.

Start by creating a school reunion web page. This will act as your invitations because you’re going to send links to the web page electronically through emails that will take your past classmates directly to your web page.

Personalize the page through use of over 60 multi media tools that are so easy to use, you could have used them when you were in high school. You can include old senior pictures of your past classmates and throw in some video of a pep rally or a debate. Add some music that is from back in the day and post old sayings.

When they come to your page, they’ll see the guest list and maybe even pictures of themselves beside their names. They’ll be able to respond and see how others have responded. They’ll also see that they can network and offer suggestions for the school reunion. They’ll be reintroduced, start networking and getting excited about the school reunion way ahead of time.

You can also cross reference other school reunion online groups and network with them too. There is no limit to how many groups you can network with. Nor is there any time frame on the web page. Keep the page and keep networking for as long as you’d like.

Whether you are coordinating the reunion or not, you can help the coordinator out through use of the task manager. Lay out previously agreed upon tasks and assign coordinators to them. Send out automated email reminders about the tasks and the school reunion itself as the days to it count down. You can even post a budget online and manage it from there. With over 60 multi media tools to use, there’s nothing you can’t cover. Remember these tools are so simple anyone can use them. And again…they’re free. Events Listed thought of everything.

Ideas For Company Christmas Parties

Posted: under Arts, Entertainment and Music.

Ideas for company Christmas parties are plentiful if you just use a little creativity. Don’t plan a huge, formal dinner at the boss’ house. That will make everyone uncomfortable, including your boss. Plus, it’s sure to be a snoozer. Find a neutral ground and have your rockin’ company Christmas party there.

Regardless of where you have the festivities, know that you can’t please everyone, but you can please the majority. Below are some tips that are sure to break the ice and get everyone relaxed and in a great mood.

Ideas for Company Christmas Parties to Get the Festivities Going

* As each person comes in, slap a Santa hat on them with their name on it and announce something funny they did at work.

* Have a Christmas stocking with your company logo for everyone. Have them draw numbers for different stockings and don’t allow them to open until everyone has one. Then they open them together only to find out they all have the same gifts.

* Play Christmas Pictionary. Use all Christmas related words and get silly with them.

* Have a “Christmas in Scotland” (or any other country) theme and not only evoke new cultural exposure and education onto your guests, but give them a unique, exciting company Christmas party that they’ll never forget.

Christmas Parties Invitations

Another spicy element to add to the party is to create completely personalized invitations, made personally by you online. Yes, you. With easy to use multi media tools, you can add numerous elements to your web page. When we say easy to use, that is exactly what we mean. Anyone can use these tools.

Decorate your web page for the season, add your company logo and as many Christmas decorations as your heart desires. You can also add pictures of the boss and the staff and add some Christmas videos. Have Christmas music or Christmas bells playing from your page. The personalization possibilities are endless.

You can post comment walls, have a Q&A, or add a poll for your guest to participate in. Once your page is complete, simply send out the invitations electronically via email containing a link to your page. Your guests will love seeing their names on the guest list, especially if you add their pictures beside their names.

They’ll be able to respond on if the are attending or not and see what others have responded. They’ll also be able to communicate and network with each other. You can even network with other social groups networking about company Christmas parties, but in no way do any of you have to stay on topic. It’s just a great way to find others in your niche and expand your horizons.

After the party, update the page to reflect activities from the party. Add a photo album and video from the party. And then keep networking. Don’t stop just because the party’s over.
