Step 1
Format the Family Reunion Newletter
For a quick and easy (and free) template, consider a site such as letterpop dot com. This site and other template sites offer click and drop templates that will have your family reunion newsletter on its way to guests un a hurry. If you want to make the family reunion newsletter even better, you can pay a small fee to such online services to create something above and beyond the free templates.
Want to do the family reunion newsletter on your own without any online templates? No problem. Choose a word processing program you are comfortable with and explore the various available options for composing a newsletter. You will likely find a preexisting template into which you will enter your information. If you can't find a style you are crazy about, design your own by experimenting with the tables and columns features -
Step 2
Verify the Details in the Family Reunion Newsletter
You'll want to verify the details of the family reunion before creating your family reunion newsletter. Once you send out your newsletter, the details you've included will essentially be set in stone. Check with the heads of your family reunion planning committee (or perhaps family reunion planning committees if your reunion is especially large!) to make sure that all the information is accurate. -
Step 3
Compose the Family Reunion Newsletter
Once you've found a format and you've checked on the important details regarding the family reunion, it is time to write the newsletter. Relax, this is the fun part! Include fond memories from previous family reunions, news about the highlights of the family reunion currently in the works, and any other newsletter worthy information as you see fit. If you have a family reunion photo of those who attended the previous reunion, be sure to include it.
In addition to all of the must-include details regarding the family reunion, your newsletter is a great place for drumming up volunteers for special food items, leaders for family reunion games and activities, as well as people willing to take lots of pictures and videos during the reunion. Devote a section of the newsletter to a listing of planned events and the help needed for each. -
Step 4
Include Contact Information in the Family Reunion Newsletter
Although the family reunion newsletter is typically sent prior to the actual family reunion invitation, it is wise to include in the newsletter the contact information for someone in charge of planning. Family members with questions regarding the reunion will appreciate the early opportunity to get more information as needed.
