Script for the evening of the reunion

The alumni meeting is a very important and responsible event, for which appropriate preparation is required. This process is not easy, it requires attention and involvement. The main thing is to correctly arrange the stages one after another and provide for all possible nuances. First of all, you need to take into account the purpose of the meeting - communication, memories, viewing new and old photos. But, besides this, it is worth creating a program that will also allow you to have a good rest, remembering this event for a long time.

The first thing to do is to decide on the list of invitees and choose a suitable place. The event can hardly be considered complete if you do not invite your teachers. You will not have to look for those who continue to work, but if they have finished activities within your school, you will need to take the time to search. After compiling the list, you need to call the invitees, but only after the place for the meeting has been chosen. When choosing it, keep in mind that the path to it should not be difficult for most of the invitees, especially teachers.

The school is often chosen as the meeting place. This is the easiest way to get yourself together without puzzling over how to find a place that will suit absolutely everyone. Ideally, a survey is conducted among future participants, as a result of which a choice is made. Undoubtedly, the evening of graduates in the school walls a priori will turn out harmonious in terms of the atmosphere. Memories in this case will be an important part of emotions.

First of all, you need to contact the administration and get consent to hold the holiday. If this option is not suitable for any of the reasons, you need to find an adequate replacement. In addition to the classroom or assembly hall, you can consider the following comfortable options:

• cafe, closed type restaurant;
• terrace, veranda or tent at catering establishments during the warm season;
• country house, dacha or cottage;
• lofts, art spaces;
• boat trip in the appropriate season;
• nature hike, departure to a rest house.

In the selection process, you need to focus not only on whether it will be convenient to get to the place. It is important to think over how appropriate the event will be, taking into account the weather conditions, the theme of the holiday. Clubs and restaurants are the most popular, albeit not original, choice in situations like this. They are good because entertainment and programs are quite easy to adjust to the conditions. The decor of the room is also simplified.

It is very important to provide for the seating of the guests, because among them there may be people who did not contact very well during the period of study. If you want to maintain a friendly atmosphere, consider this point during the preparation phase. Think about how the chosen place will be decorated, if necessary. It is desirable that the design evokes memories, awakens nostalgic moods.

A reunion night can involve more than just classmates. In addition to school, evenings are often organized for those who studied together at an institute or secondary educational institution. In many respects, the choice of subject matter may depend on this.

• Professional. After graduating from medical school, it is logical to choose the appropriate theme for the atmosphere associated with white coats. The focus can be both humorous and quite classical. Graduates of a teacher training college or pedagogical institutes will be happy to immerse themselves in educational topics. You can think of a very unusual scenario in this case. An interesting military theme will turn out for graduates of a military school.

• School. You can try yourself again in the role of obedient and not very students if you organize a meeting in a school style. It is enough to pick up a few paraphernalia to effectively draw up a meeting program in this vein.

• According to the date. If you are dating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 30, 35, 40 years later, the topic may be related to these dates. And you can also take the anniversary of an educational institution as a basis - 45, 50, 55, 60 years of a school or university - an ideal option for creating a program with a ready-made name.

• Calendar. If you decide to meet near the dates of any holidays, they can also become the main topic of the meeting. New Year, Christmas, March 8, Defender of the Fatherland Day, Valentine's Day or Family Day - everything will do if you come up with an idea correctly. You can tie the topic to the season - summer, autumn meeting, seeing off spring or meeting winter - do not limit your imagination.

This question is also one of the most important at the stage of preparation, and not only for women, but also for men. The point is not only that this is a semi-official event. It has never stopped anyone in life from making a positive impression and looking appropriate for the occasion, demonstrating status. The choice of outfit is determined by the venue and not otherwise, because you should not go on a hike in an evening dress, but come to an elite club in tattered jeans.

For an evening of meetings in a restaurant or club, females should consider cocktail dresses, evening and formal dresses, classic overalls, trouser suits, couples - a skirt plus a jacket. For a less formal event, oversized models of dresses, trousers, jackets, jeans, tunics are suitable. A holiday in nature requires maximum comfort, so sports styling, denim suits will do.

For men, the situation is simpler, it is enough to correspond to the status of the event, and the choice is somewhat more specific. Classic, sports and casual are the three main styles that suit this type of meeting. Sport is appropriate in nature, outside the city, casual - almost everywhere, classic - at official meetings. For a classic outfit, a two-piece or three-piece suit, trousers, a vest and a shirt are suitable. In casual, you can mix jackets with jeans, chinos, cargo.

Do not forget about the choice of shoes, it should not only match the outfit, but also be comfortable. Women who do not wear heels should not suffer in such models. There are now tons of low-speed shoes that are perfect for evening wear. Do not forget about the features of your figure and choose an outfit in which you will be comfortable, hiding problem areas. It is also important that make-up and hairstyle match the overall style. It is unlikely that you will look harmonious in a tracksuit with a high hairstyle and bright evening make-up.

Competitions and the game program in general are of great importance, so this stage should be given as much attention as possible. It doesn't matter if an event is being organized for classmates or university graduates, just sitting at the table and saying toasts is not a very fun idea. If you think that games are not for adults, then you are mistaken, this part of the event usually turns out to be the most fun and memorable. Moreover, without entertainment, the evening can quickly fade away, turning into a boring event.

Therefore, it is very important to prepare in advance and choose a combo of entertainment events. The choice depends a lot on your taste and the location of the meeting.

Almost any competition or game can be organized indoors. A very relevant option is the mafia game, it is held at the table, suitable for the beginning of an event, to give people a little relaxation. A variety of music contests are ideal for cafes and restaurants. For example, try organizing a dance competition. There, a man and a woman must, in 5 minutes, depict a dance corresponding to the style of music - from classical to hopak.

Indoors, you can show a slideshow, pre-composed of photos of the class or graduation. This moment turns out to be one of the most touching, even those who are not distinguished by sentimentality find themselves in captivity of nostalgia and joyful emotions. The main thing is to take care in advance of collecting photos and drawing up a show to harmonious melodies. You can write down the opening and closing words, or draw up touching inscriptions.

A variety of quizzes are perfect for nature; you can pick up a lot of options for the relevant topic. When everyone is already free, you can play crocodile. For the image, you can choose teachers and teachers, subjects and any thematically things. Show the history teacher with gestures and guess will be quite a fun exercise. An excellent choice is the game "At the institute (school, technical school) I ...". The essence of the game is that the participants are given cards, where the options for their actions are written. For example, such a text “smoked in the teacher’s room,” “put buttons,” “ran away from lessons,” “crammed everything into A's,” and so on. Everyone who pulls out the card should say - "in college I ..." and read what is written.

Regardless of where you will be hosting the event, take the time to select the music. Usually, at the beginning it is more solemn, cheerful and relaxing for competitions, energetic for dancing, but do not forget about the romantic orientation. Pick up a lot of background compositions, great for this lounge. So that guests can communicate calmly without trying to shout over the music. A disco playlist can contain contemporary songs or popular songs from the time you were studying.

Another important nuance that goes into entertainment is the menu. It should be dense and varied so that alcoholic drinks do not spoil the peace and comfort of the meeting. If the meeting does not take place in a cafe, restaurant, it is better to order catering or delivery of ready-made food. A cake created in the style of the event will create a great mood.

To make the meeting memorable for a long time, take care of small presentations for everyone who comes to the meeting. These should be purely symbolic surprises that can be left as a keepsake:

• any items with engraving, for example, a pen, keychain;
• magnets;
• joint instant photos;
• video shooting and distribution after the general film for everyone;
• exclusively decorated sweets;
• calendars.

The original script for the alumni meeting is half the success of the event. The toastmaster or the presenter can also implement it, but it is better to come up with it yourself, taking into account your wishes. It is the script that allows you to compose and harmoniously present touching moments, funny scenes, contests, speeches. Naturally, the scenario should fit into the general idea of ​​the meeting.

There are a few ready-made basics that you can take as a reference and tweak to suit your theme.

• "Back to college, school, college ..." One of the universal options that can be timed to coincide with any topic. The holiday is held in the form of a lesson, where teachers and graduates are involved. Of course, you need to prepare improvised desks and a blackboard in advance. A leader is selected or invited to control the process. Everyone is seated at their desks and a so-called lesson is conducted, in which there are different school paraphernalia and the corresponding vocabulary. Tasks are prepared in advance, you can check everyone's knowledge of certain elementary knowledge and dilute it with funny comic contests.

• Detectives. Order a script for a specialist on a specific topic, if funds allow, or write it yourself. Take as a basis any popular film, for example, about a famous detective. Holmes and Watson, Fandorin and Masa, Miss Marple and Poirot - to choose from - can during the evening try to find a solution to the secrets of school friendship, first love, and the difficulty of study.

• Airport or train station. The idea of ​​a scenario according to which all graduates and teachers meet by chance at the airport, at the station - railway, sea, bus, can be considered excellent. The instructors in this scenario are captains and machinists, and the students are passengers. The impromptu check-in counters, where the year of issue is the flight number, will add to the atmosphere.Place of arrival is memories, and during the flight or sailing in Business Class, alcohol, food and drinks are offered.

• Concert. Another universal scenario in which you can include anything you want is a concert form. If you manage to organize an active group that prepares musical or humorous numbers for the meeting, the evening will definitely be spectacular and will be remembered for a long time.
