Ground Rules
The contract,
in five lines.
Reunions are a space for honest, respectful conversation. These are the principles every host agrees to before the first invitation goes out.
- 01
This is not about revisiting old dynamics or antics.
Reunions are about who you are now, not who you were forced to be then. Old roles stay at the door.
- 02
No bullying, roasting, or “gotcha” moments — ever.
There is no place for performance at someone else’s expense. If a moment feels like it might land that way, don’t go there.
- 03
The guest decides what is on- or off-limits — always.
Their comfort sets the boundaries. As host, you ask, you check in, and you change course when they need you to.
- 04
Politics, old relationships, and past escapades are off the table.
Unless the guest specifically wants to go there. The default is generosity, not gossip.
- 05
No need to be funny. Just be you.
We don’t grade for charisma. Honesty is more interesting than performance every single time.
“Reunions work because everyone shows up assuming the best of everyone else.”
