Family Time: How to Keep Everyone Happy at a Multi-Gen Family Event


Bringing the whole family together—grandparents, parents, kids, and even the little ones—sounds like a heartwarming idea. But let’s be honest, planning a multi-generational family event can feel like organizing a diplomatic summit. With different ages, interests, and energy levels, how do you make sure everyone has a great time?


The answer? Thoughtful planning and a little help from Together Hub!


1. Set the Tone with the Right Venue

Choosing the right location is key. Consider:

Parks & Outdoor Spaces – Perfect for kids to run around while adults relax.

Family Homes or Rentals – Cozy and comfortable with a personal touch.

Community Centers – Great for large gatherings with multiple activity

zones.


Use Together Hub to coordinate who’s bringing what—from food to board games.

2. Plan Activities for Every Age

A great family event caters to all generations. Keep it balanced with:

●       Outdoor Games – Sack races, relay games, or a friendly tug-of-war.

●       Storytelling/Memory Sharing – Let elders share family stories while the kids listen.

●       DIY Craft Corners – Fun for little hands while giving parents a breather.


Schedule activities on Together Hub to ensuring everyone stays in the loop and can get involved without feeling left out.

3. Food Everyone Will Love

Food is the heart of every family gathering. Make it work for all generations by:

Offering a mix of homemade and easy-to-eat snacks.

Including dietary-friendly options for different age groups.

Creating a “Grandma’s Recipe” dish to celebrate tradition!


Use Together Hub's well-designed planning tools to plan a potluck-style menu and avoid duplicates.

4. Capture the Memories

A great family event deserves to be remembered! Set up:

●       A DIY photo booth with fun props.

●       A “Generations Challenge”—who can name the most ancestors?

●       A digital family album where everyone can upload pictures.


Keep the Fun, Skip the Stress!

A multi-gen family event should be about joy, not logistics. Let Together Hub handle invites, RSVPs, reunion updates, schedules, and event pages—so you can focus on what really matters: family time!
