Cocktails, anyone?

Great Reunions asked me what kind of party dress we wanted. The options were casual, business casual, cocktail, semi-formal and formal. Since they wanted an answer right away, I chose cocktail dress.

Here is my reasoning: we are going to pay $70-$90 per person, so it would be weird just to wear our everyday clothes. This eliminated casual and business casual. I thought formal (tuxes) would be too much, so I was left with cocktail and semi-formal. I think cocktail dress is a little more flexible and fun, so I went with that. Let me know what you think... I could always call Great Reunions back.

For up to the minute information on the reunion, click on the Great Reunions link to the right of the text. They haven't nailed down a date or location yet, but I will keep you posted. We know that the reunion will include a three-course dinner, photo name badges with those great teenage photos, decorations, photo bio book with a classmate directory, a dj, a photographer, and staffing at the reunion to help us. Also, they will do all of the mailings to try to track all 800 of us down, and monthly radio announcements. I just sent them my '95 yearbook so that they can copy all of our photos. If anyone has a graduation announcement from 95 that they wouldn't mind lending to GR for a month, let me know.

Updated: Semi -formal reunion in October or November

Hi everyone,

Thanks to the over 20 people that responded on the blog and by email! The overwelming response was to have a semi-formal event, so that is what we are going to do!

The Millikan Activities Director (and several of you) suggested going with Great Reunions, a company that organizes reunions. The Class of 94 went with them, and they did a good job. I just spoke with them. They require at least 5 months to plan the reunion. So, our reunion will be on one of these days: October 22 (earliest date, preferred), November 5 or Nobvember 12. (They were unable to do the reunion on Thanksgiving weekend.) Stay tuned for more info. Please feel free to post comments, or send me an email!

Casual or Formal

What do you think? Should we go casual or formal for the reunion? Click on comments below to post your opinion! There are benefits and disadvantages to both...so we will go with the majority opinion! There is a cost difference between the two: casual picnic will be about $10 per person; formal dinner/dance will be about $90 per person.

Post a comment or send me an email at tammyq2003@yahoo.com!

Also, please help me spread the word about this blog. Classmates.com only lets me send emails to 20 people a day, so I need your help! Email all of the MHS 95ers on your email list! Thanks!
