This maybe true for all family members except the ones who host the party. I know. I host a family reunion every year. I’m too busy organizing before and during the reunion to enjoy it!
Do you rent a hall or do you have the reunion at your house?
My step-dads reunion used to be held at one of the families’ homes. It got to be too much, so they decided to hold the event at a state park each year. It’s been great! We elect a planning committee each year to secure a state park for three years out. Much more relaxing for everyone.
