The high school reunion are quite interesting as classmates age! Especially how the ladies that were popular - cheerleaders, great teenage ladies that had hot figures and looks turn out vs. the undesirable ladies, nerdy, shy, skinny highly smart honor roll type ladies. In most cases, those nerdy, shy, skinny honor roll ladies ended up as doctors and equivalent professionals and their bodies and face changed over to being the hotties. The opposite occurs with the popular ladies. They got married and let themselves go, big time. Guys follow the same as the ladies for the most part too.

Each class reunion overtime get smaller too. I stop going to mine, since I did not receive an invitation! I heard about it from a classmate before hand, however. Did not want to “crash” my own class reunion. LOL!

I don't get these class reunions...
I even see some of my high school classmates on Facebook reminiscing about their second grade teachers. WTH? I can barely remember any of my teachers... A few were good but most were forgettable.

I regularly see 5-6 buddies from high school (some of them also went to the same university as me) and one from elementary, when I'm back to the city. We mostly aged well... I haven't seen any of the girls for long time.
They all did quite a big thing for our 25th aniversary, but I was not in the country. We didn't manage to organize the 30th, though...

Never heard of an invitation only reunion. Usually it is announced and all alumni are encouraged to attend.

Most have invitations sent along a payment of some amount, location, time, dress desired and a RSVP. The first 4-5 are very upscale swanky formal affairs with suit and tie, sit down dinner, photo session, etc... They are held in a 4-5 star hotel or a very nice restaurant. The later ones 45-50-60 year are very cheap informal affairs: cold cut rolled deli meats, chips, dress is very casual - blue jeans and tee shirt, sandals and held in a run down bowling alley and bar, community centers and similar get together meeting places. You think it would be the complete opposite in terms of being more luxurious and flashy reunions as the classmates age into retirement and beyond, acquiring more wealth being held at a country club or a high end local resort.

I am sure I look better and in better shape than anyone from my class
I still have full head of hair and as lean as a marine in WW2.

How do you get an 8 year reunion? lol you usually get the 5, 10, 15, 20. That being said, I have no interest in meeting up with my high school classmates. I wasn't close to any of them that are still around the area, my best friends have moved West to follow their loves or job opportunities.

Our 40th cost $185 plus "donations" !!
It was outdoors on a day predicted to rain.
I passed, but saw the photos of mostly fat women and really old fat dudes.

My class only had one reunion, 2 years after the school. It was ok, until someone decided that throwing people on the pool was a good idea of joke and in the end, a marble table fell on my right foot and that's how I got my first surgery almost 10 years ago.

That's what I'm going to tell my children. Go for the cute but not hot girl/guy in high school. They peak at 20-25 and are complete smokeshows. A lot of average girls turned smokeshow from HS hit me up because I was simply nice to them when they were unpopular.

It is a universal truth. The hot ones from HS tend to fall off. Not all, but a lot.

Wish I had given @StANDAA that wisdom.

They're a moving to the collective reunions now, due to lack of participation. The classes of 2000-2010 meet at Friday's football game behind the concession stand.

I went to a middle school graduation party a few years ago. It included anyone who had ever graduated from the school. Pretty good turn out.

A class ahead of our class try to arrange a class reunion at the high school. The school first agreed to it and then called back to say that it was not possible due to security. In other words; they don't want alumni at the high school even after hours and at off days like in the Summer when nothing was going on at the high school. That was a big blow to the classmates. They were so happy to hear that they would celebrating their re-union back on the high school grounds. They try to do it out side in the large grass yard area and have a picnic type affair. School authorities again said that would be okay and a couple of week afterwards, told the reunion community that it was not possible to have it at the high school at all!

Found out that they got permission after someone in the city council talk with the high school superintendent! Happy ending after all. :)

100% right not only have they peaked better but they've taken care of themselves so much better it's a complete turnaround, I wish I gave more attention to the unpopular ones man I'd be set for life right now

Great reunion tho, just reminiscing of the old times and the friends you weren't friends with were all chill, everyone grew up
Yea that's what I've realized whenever I run into ppl I knew from HS. Even the ones I wasn't too close with and/or were a**holes back in the day, all became mature and chill.
