If you are invited to school reunion, you should make sure that you go. You will probably only have four or five events like this, and each one is a great opportunity to reconnect with people you lost touch with, and there is no other chance to do this physically, but you can always network online.
There are several different school reunion at intervals that you will probably be headed out to go to. These include the five-year, 10 year, and 20 year ones. The reasoning behind these intervals is probably not anything more extreme than that is how many fingers you have on your hands, or multiples of 10.
Often times the people who were the heads of classes will be the ones that will organize the school reunion events, so you will probably get some sort of invitation a few months before they are. Many times it you are supposed to send in some sort of indication that you are coming, so that they will know how much food to order and things like that.
There are many different sizes of high schools and graduating classes, and the format of your school reunion will often have to deal with how many of them sign up to come. Large classes may have to rent out some sort of larger auditorium, where smaller classes can do something in a single building the size of a classroom.
And though the high school reunion is the most popular because everyone goes to high school, there are also college school reunions that perform much the same function. These are probably more likely if you are a lawyer or a doctor or were close to graduating class somehow. That closeness doesn’t always happen in large social science classes.
Often there can be two categories of school reunion as well, the formal and informal. The formal ones usually have people dressing up and bringing husbands and wives, whereas the informal ones are more likely to have something like children, and where people wear jeans and T-shirts to just talk. Neither is better or worse, they are just different in how they are set up.
So the cost of going to school reunion can vary greatly depending on your situation. If you have to buy a plane ticket to get there, that can be cost prohibitive, whereas if you just have to drive, the cost can be more reasonable.
So going to a school reunion may be something that will be one of the more enjoyable trips in your later life. There is always the chance that you could find someone that you have been looking for for the past several years and have a chance to discuss things with them as well, so be prepared for that possibility.
