Listen "Family Gatherings: Renting vs. Hosting"
Episode Synopsis
Nikki and Damaris tackle the joys and chaos of family reunions. From managing 25 relatives under one roof to navigating the sometimes not-so-fun realities of planning for adults who don’t read the e-vites, they share personal stories, tips, and hilarious moments about bringing everyone together.
Nikki talks about hosting the ultimate Dinki family gathering (with air mattresses galore), while Damaris dives into her experience organizing a multi-house reunion for her 16 cousins. The two explore the art of managing expectations, setting boundaries, and finding joy in the quieter moments, like late-night wine chats and s’mores by the fire.
Plus, they answer a listener’s question about making the leap from hotels to vacation rentals. Tip: it’s all about reading the reviews (and counting the bathrooms).
Whether you’re a seasoned reunion planner or the one who just shows up, this episode is packed with laughs and practical advice to make your next family gathering one to remember!
