Why Come to the Reunion?

Many Reasons Why To Attend Your 50th Class Reunion

You’ve got nothing to prove.
You want to swoon over your ex-high school sweetheart.
No one can relive that big game like the friends who were there with you when it happened.

Few events offer the opportunity to go back in time and laugh like a teenager.
This party doesn’t involve puffy prom dresses, dyed-to-match shoes, or big hair – though you still might see just that.
You know high school didn’t define you.
Even though your life didn’t follow the road map you had planned, you know deep down your path has been uniquely yours.
Even with the best of intentions, you really don’t get together with those high school Facebook friends.
You want to remember who you were back then.
You can’t hear the infectious laugh of the classmate who sat behind you in geometry, see an ex-boyfriend’s smiling blue eyes, or hug your former locker partner on Facebook.
Even if you’re recently divorced, have a bit less hair, lost your job, or wear a few extra pounds, you are still who you are, only better.
It is a great way to show your partner where you came from and meet those who you hang out with (at Macayo's after a football game).
And an even better way to see how far you’ve come.
There are very few opportunities in life to reinvent yourself.
You can watch a movie about a reunion: Grosse Pointe Blank, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion – or you can LIVE IT!
Group memories are best shared as a group.
At a reunion, everyone shows up older, and then grows young again.

Your classmates know just what it is like and just how it feels to be 68!
To talk about your high school glory days, not to relive them, but to tell your classmates “I’m glad we went through it together” makes for a great evening.
The “I didn’t like anyone then,” “I still talk to everyone I want to talk to,” and “everything there is to know about anyone is on Facebook” excuses are predictable and ordinary. You are neither.
Rarely in life do you get to look back through a new lens.
Because you STILL can.
You'll be missed if you don't show up.
Your family is tired of hearing your stories and you want to relive them with someone who actually cares.
Ummm . . . who else is gonna fill in the blanks to your slipping memory?
If you don't show up, we'll assume you still have big, long or even no hair.

But no one really cares about your hair! They want to see you!

You know you really want to. (It just might be fun!)
Hey, who cares if we don't fit into our old bellbottoms? Ya gotta stay huggable! Friends just want to see you.

Enjoy an evening without the grandkids. Don't worry, you might even be home before curfew or the late evening news.
You've always wondered what happened to . . . (what was his name?)
Renew old friendships. There's really nothin' like an "old" old friend.
Renew not-so-old-friendships and meet new friends!
Get the latest gossip, as well as can be rememberd. Because if you don't show up, you might be the subject of that gossip.
See if that old crush is still what you thought they were, or as you thought you remembered! The more some things change, the more some things stay the same. The fun is in trying to figure out the difference between the two!
Because you're curious and you HAVE to know what everyone has been doing for the last 50 years.
Did we mention there would be lots of FUN??? (Yah, Baby!)
You LOVE reunions!
You have NOTHING better to do. (Sitting or napping in your favorite chair doesn't count.)
Because you want to go where everyone knows your name . . . they just can't always remember! (Thank goodness for name tags!)
To talk about the "good old days," "when we were young and carefree," and "life was so simple then."

You'll get the chance once again to laugh, cry, and reminisce with some of your oldest friends, ever!
We're going to play music that you "remember." Bring on the REAL music; music that you can actually dance to.

It gives you a chance to humor those who have tried to plan these things; deluded die-hards that have hope that somewhere, somehow, it's going to make a difference.
Because some of us want an excuse to go BACK HOME, if only for a weekend!

BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU!!! Who knows when there might be another reunion?

AND FINALLY . . .

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THOSE WHO WERE INITIALLY HESITANT ABOUT ATTENDING THEIR REUNION, DISCOVER IT WAS THE EVENT THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED!
