9. Play music from your graduation year
Keep the memory train rollin’ and play the tunes you used to jam out to during your teenage years! Don’t forget to play some fun slow songs to dance to, like your back at prom, a few songs that everyone still remembers the lyrics to, and then some real bangers to get everyone on the dance floor!
Might as well cut to the chase and book an amazing dance studio through Peerspace that has the perfect ambiance, setup, lighting, and sound equipment. One cool suggestion is this neon dance studio for events in Scottsdale, AZ. It has the vibe you want and the equipment you need to make it perfect for any class reunion dance-offs!
10. Style your venue with memory-filled decorations
Bring back the feel of graduation year with some throwback decorations! Recreate the prom photo area with a backdrop and streamers, decorate the walls with yearbook pictures, and plaster your graduation year in big block letters throughout the room. Amazon has a whole section of class reunion decorations for you to choose from!
Start by booking a gathering space that suits your class reunion guest list space needs while providing something of a blank slate look that you can then dress up with your reunion decorations. One of our favorites is this modern lifestyle set studio in Brooklyn, NYC. It has space for 60 guests, an open floor plan, and bright white walls, all of which are ideal for serving as the backdrop to your decorations.
In fact, check out what a Peerspace reviewer shared after booking their own event here: “The space is beautiful, very clean, easy entry, lots of space and you have the creative freedom to decorate however you’d like. I would definitely book this space again.”
11. Theme it up to inspire the attire (and venue!)
Remember those school dances that always had a cute albeit cheesy theme? Under the sea, Totally 80s, Winter Wonderland, A Night Under the Stars, you get our point! Sure, it was corny when you were an awkward teen and living it, but as an adult with their own life and responsibilities, a theme party sounds like a dreamy escape!
Conspire with your classmates and base your class reunion ideas on a theme from a school dance you remember most. Only now, you can enjoy it with a more mature mindset and appreciate it as it’s happening.
Once you choose your theme, you can easily book an event venue through Peerspace to match. For instance, say you had a Great Gatsby theme dance and want to relive it. If you and your classmates are reuniting in San Francisco, this Castro Speakeasy couldn’t be any more perfect for the event!
In fact, check out what a Peerspace reviewer shared after hosting a party here. “Nate was a wonderful and communicative host and our bartender was lovely. the venue is very classy and clean. perfect size for 20-30 people!”

12. Make the after-party the stuff of legends
Your party-packed class reunion ideas don’t have to end just because the official party ended. Now, it’s time for the after-party to begin! Head to a local bar with your close high school friends, or even consider renting a private party venue through Peerspace to hang out with a smaller group from the reunion and continue catching up.
For instance, class reunion planners in the UK may consider renting a pub like this cool and contemporary bar in Chester for their after-party space. It has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a world-class selection of wines to help keep the conversation fun and relaxed.
Stateside class reunion after-party planners may want to book time at a venue like this intimate pizza and kava bar and lounge in Atlanta, GA. As the name suggests, they specialize in gourmet pizza and craft kava, all served in an inviting ambiance that your class reunion attendees are sure to love.
