The single most important thing you can do to insure a good time is talk to the DJ/Band before hand. The people who never left town and see each other every week at PTA, soccer practice, poker night etc. are going to want to dance. The ones who did leave town and flew 1,500 miles to attend are going to want to talk, and they are not going to want to shout over the music. The ideal solution, if you can afford it, is to hire two rooms. Unless you are from Beverly Hills High, you won't be able to do that. Having the music "on" for 30 minutes, then off for 30 would be a reasonable compromise. Promise the DJ/Band the same amount of money as if he played all night. Impress upon him the desire of half the audience to talk. Reunions are not the same as dances or concerts. People (some people) want quiet time, to talk. Keep hammering that home to the DJ/Band. If necessary, tattoo it on his/the

If you can not hire a reunion planner, you need to figure out how much your tickets will be and determine a percentage of each one to collect so that you have start-up cash for your reunion expenses. Offer a discount on the ticket price if they pay for it up front and in-full. So far, everyone that has sent a check to me for our reunion has chosen to pay up-front and get the discounted price. I reduced each ticket by $5. Our price was $75, so classmates normally buy 2 tickets so they got 10 bucks off for paying in-full! After only 15 tickets were sold, I had enough to send deposits to the DJ and to the hotel for a the ballroom.

Choose an event where you don't have a sit-down dinner. I've organized an after-dinner cocktail party event. There will be hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, pastries, and a variety of cheeses, and an open bar for the first hour, then a cash bar the rest of the night. Having an open bar all night is a big expense. Cut it down to an hour or two and you can save your classmates a lot of money on their tickets!
