Set the Mood
Music has its way of setting a mood for any social gathering, so it is also important that the family reunion songs you pick out are happy, family-friendly ones and nothing negative or profane; unless, of course, your family has some weird, twisted inside joke associated with a song atypical of family reunion songs. (To each his own, I always say!)
Tips:
- Take some requests from family members that will be attending.
- Find out what genres everyone likes and dislikes and plan around this.
- Try to find songs that are all about family.
- Donât be afraid to be cliche with your music choices!
