If you can dream it, then there’s a software program for it! Just when you thought organizational software couldn’t get any better than MS Word, Excel spreadsheets and Quicken Quickbooks, www.family-reunion.com released its family reunion planning software to add another item to your “must-have” list. Of course, not everyone needs family reunion tips and ideas, nor do they need help making task lists and keeping track of addresses or RSVPs. Yet, for $29.95, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have this neat little program around. Some programs offered by www.genealogy.com and Formal Soft even offer additional bonuses, like family tree creators or scrap-booking features.

Family Reunion Organizer (www.family-reunion.com/organizer/index.htm) is one of the most popular software programs on the market for planning family reunions. After an easy CD-ROM installation, you’ll be able to enter the name of your gathering and user information, entering the reunion planner’s name, address, phone number and family reunion website information. Next, you can build your family address book with names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, personal websites and notes sections. Later on, you will be able to use this address book to create family reunion invitations, send out Christmas cards and issue reminders. Next you can create a survey to send out to family members, asking for reunion ideas. You will also get some advice from your program on how to create a theme, plan activities, decide upon food and order decorations.

One of the hardest parts of reunion planning is deciding which family reunion games are suitable for your event. With the $29.95 Family Reunion Organizer software, you can work on a schedule for your reunion activities and meals. You can create and print award certificates, name tags and sign-in sheets for the big day. Then you can easily create thank-you notes and automatically print out the addresses. Your Family Reunion Organizer software will act like a personal adviser, offering information on choosing a location and budgeting enough money to cover the expenses. “If you are going to be planning a family reunion this year, you can’t afford not to have this program,” said Rhonda McClure from Family Tree Finders.

In essence, family reunion planning software gives you ideas, helps you organize your family members into a family genealogy tree and gives you the lists, spreadsheets, databases and tools you need to organize your family reunion properly, while never missing a beat. If you’re dealing with a large family, then a way to consolidate the information can be a real God-send. Many purchasers say they like the easy-to-use format that creates classic heirlooms and reunion gifts, as well as a better way to keep in touch with their relatives through their own custom family website.
