If you are planning a family reunion or wedding this season, adding theme decorations will sweeten the memories of the occasion. You don’t need a lot of ideas for this kind of party, just a few accents to fit the mood for the event. If you are unsure from where to begin, these simple decor ideas will help you enhance the theme.

Family Reunion and Family Wedding Decorating Ideas

 

Create a family banner

Create a huge family banner and hang it in the main area of the event. Have everyone sign it and take a group photo under it to keep it as a memory. If you have a family slogan, add it. This idea is sure to be a hit and your loved ones will rant about it for years to come. To make it even more personalized, let everyone dip their hand in paint and leave a hand print by their name.

Family reunion decorating ideas: Celebrate heritage

Seek inspiration from your family heritage for your next reunion party. For instance, if your grandparents come from America, decorate using American flag. Or if your grandfather belongs to America but your grandmother came from Italy, bring out flags from both the countries. The idea is to create a feel of whatever country your ancestors belong to by decorating with items that transform the reunion setting into your family’s home country.

Family reunion centerpiece ideas: balloons and streamers

What is a family reunion without balloons and streamers? Especially, if you have a lot of little ones in the family, they are always a hit. Blow up several of them and let them float around. Make sure they have long strings so that kids can enjoy walking under them. To personalize them you can also family pictures on the strings. Wall hangings and refrigerator art from everyone’s childhood is another interesting idea.

A family reunion like other parties requires decorations and a festive atmosphere. Use these ideas to make it fun and merry for all. But just remember to keep it simple and low stress!
