1. Do not have loud music, after all people come to visit and renew old friendships and they hate to have to talk loudly over the sound. (as you get older the chances of seeing people again gets less so make it where they can talk, after all you can listen to music anytime!) Older folks sometimes have hearing problems, plus you usually have large tables which makes it harder for everyone to hear what is being said if music is playing.
2. Don't plan lots of dancing as you will undoubtedly have single people with no dancing partners.
3. Don't plan lots of formal events. The more casual the event, the more people seem to enjoy themselves. Also travelling with formal clothes takes up time with pressing and cleaning, etc.
4. Do have gifts for the person who came the furthest, the one who has the most kids, who has never been married, etc.
5. Do leave your crisis history (divorces, operations, etc) at home. share your joys and adventures.
6. Don't spend all your time catching up with those you’ve already known, reach out to those you haven’t seen in years. Even if you weren’t friends with them in high school, you might find, as adults, you have more things in common.
7. Do not have events in a multi level area with steps, especially if they have to carry food from a buffet table.
