My 20th was this past weekend. We went and had a great time. I moved away the day we graduated. This was pre-facebook, so lost contact with a lot of people. I went to my 10 year and I remember being so nervous. Up to my senior year, I wasn't that involved and of course there was the typical drama. But at the 10 year, all of that seemed to be behind us all and we had a great time. So I was looking forward to the 20th. There weren't a ton of people there but we still had fun. So glad we went.

My 45th reunion was a blast! We had 4 events spread out over 3 days. In fact, it was so much fun we had a 48th this year. In two years we'll have a 50th. We've reconnected on Facebook and are acting like teenagers. Luckily we set up a private group so we don't embarrass ourselves or our families.
Glad you had fun!

I went my 10 and 25 for HS and my 5 and 20th for university and had a blast at all of them. I went solo as DH had no connection to either school so it was strictly a time for me to reconnect with old friends which probably would have bored him to tears. I also moved away right after HS graduation and my parents relocated after that as well, so really enjoyed just going back to my "hometown" too.

I went to my 30th alone as my dh isn't connected to anyone either. I'm planning on going to my 40th. I had the absolute best time!

I went to dh's 20th and we had a great time. I skipped mine, and I will always skip mine. I have no desire to see them, and those I care about I am still in contact with in some way or another. Glad you had a great time though!

I've never been to one. I am going to my first college dinner (for English alumni) in September.

Glad you had fun! I have never attended, nor never will, a class reunion. I did not care for very many of the people I graduated with and the ones I DO care for, I already keep in touch with.

I was more than happy to kiss High School goodbye, but I dragged to my 10th and had a surprisingly good time, everyone was so friendly and fun. So I went to my 20th and people seemed to have regressed, it was all the same cliques from when we were 17. I still had fun with my friends and I'm glad I went, but I thought that was so odd!

I'd encourage you to go, just once. go with the friends you still keep in contact with, so if nothing else you'll have fun with them. my perspective is, almost no one is the same person they were in high school. those girls who were shitty and mean could've had a wakeup call and regret how they behaved. the wallflowers might've come into their own and are really interesting to know. your crush that never gave you the time of day might be 200lbs overweight and divorced thrice. a lot of the cliques dissipate. my first reunion was actually quite therapeutic and i ended up being glad i had gone. if it doesn't turn out the same for you, you never have to go again! really what's the risk?

My 20th was this past weekend also, but I didn't get to go. Moved too far away and couldn't make it back this time. I've seen some pics and there weren't a ton of people there, but it looked like they had fun!!!!

I'm sure you're probably right. But I still have no want to go. LOL I also live about 700 miles away now so it's not easy to make arrangements to go.
