How to Organize a Family Reunion Without Losing Your Sanity
Intro: The Cousin Drama Starter Pack
Yaar, ever notice how Pakistani families can turn even a chai break into a mini wedding-level event? Now imagine calling the entire khandaan for a reunion. From “Ammi, usko bhi bulana hai?” to cousins fighting over ludo, it’s chaos but the fun kind.
To organize a family reunion, you need to set a date, pick a venue, arrange food, and plan some fun activities to keep all age groups happy.
Why a Family Reunion Matters
Family reunions aren’t just about selfies with 20 cousins squeezed in one frame. It’s about keeping connections alive, making memories, and—let’s be honest—finding out who brought the best biryani.
Step 1: Make a Plan (Before Chacha Hijacks It)
Without planning, your reunion will end up like a PCB press conference—lots of drama, no results. Start with:
- A WhatsApp group for coordination
- A clear budget (because “sab mil ke kar lenge” always fails)
- A guest list (don’t forget phuppo, warna lifelong taanay sunne hain)
📌 Pro tip: Verify your family tree through NADRA so you don’t miss any long-lost cousin.
Step 2: Choose the Venue & Date (Good Luck Pleasing Everyone)
Venue selection is like choosing PSL teams—no one will agree. Options:
- Park or farmhouse (kids = cricket, elders = gossip corner)
- Banquet hall (fancy, but budget-phaddas incoming)
- Someone’s house (cheap but risky—mess = fights)

Step 3: Food is King 👑
If the biryani is good, people will forgive all other mistakes. Arrange:
- Biryani (mandatory, no arguments)
- BBQ (for the cousins who think they’re MasterChef)
- Chai & mithai (the real deal closer)
Also, remember to ask about dietary restrictions—like that one cousin who suddenly became keto.
Step 4: Entertainment & Memories
Nobody wants a reunion where everyone just stares at their phones. Mix it up:
- Cricket match (kids vs dads—classic)
- Dumb charades (phuppo always cheats)
- Photo booth (perfect for Instagram cousins)
Oh, and don’t forget a group picture that looks like a wedding card background.
Wrap-Up: May the Ludo Gods Be With You
Family reunions are messy, loud, and sometimes exhausting. But they’re also the moments you’ll laugh about for years. So call that cousin who never shows up, order extra chai, and just embrace the madness.
