Family Reunion  Back to Events

In this day of busy schedules and computer communications, the experience of bringing together the young, old, near and far, all with one unique connection, is priceless. Whether your family gathering is an afternoon barbecue or a weeklong event, this is your opportunity to add a new chapter to your family's memory book.

To ensure best attendance, begin planning your family reunion well in advance. Use our planning guide to get started. Then work out a timeline to stay organized and on top of the details. Craft and send just the right invitation to add to the anticipation and excitement. A creative invitation can also help spur attendance. Who would want to miss out on something this fun?

Come up with an itinerary of activities and games that will appeal to all ages. Your goal should be to get everyone interacting with each other across generations. Be sure to make time just for reminiscing, hanging out and getting reacquainted. And keep the cameras rolling; after all, this is history in the making!

Gathering for meals will likely be the centerpiece of your event, so great food is essential. Meals can range from potluck casual to buffet to sit-down, depending on the size and style of your group. Remember that your neighborhood Publix can help with the planning and preparation so everyone stays energized and your reunion is a hit.

Menu Made Easy 

Here's where we've figured out courses and servings for the party. Scroll down to see the Publix selections we suggest, then add appropriate sizes and/or quantities to your Planning List based on the estimated servings per course (see chart). If you're interested in other options, you may click View All to see everything else available by course. Or, you can use our Plan a Menu tool to build your own menu for the event.

The recommended servings are meant as a guide and not an exact calculator. Please consider that many factors may require you to make adjustments: the mix of adults and children, time of day, length of event, etc.
