The letter gives family members essential reunion details vital to their planning. A good letter, according to the website Family Reunion, will be informative and to the point.

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Computer 

1. Open a word document and begin formatting the letter. Be somewhat formal; for example, write "Smith Family Reunion Invitation" on the top in a large, bold font. Skip a line and start by clearly stating your intentions. Some family members who haven't heard from one another in some time may be startled, according to FamilyReunion.com. Don't write, "I was thinking we should get together." Instead, try, "It is my pleasure to invite you to the Smith family reunion, which will be held Sept. 18, 2010, at the Royal Hall in Brooklyn, New York." This will provide the reader with details from the start.
