My Dad's side of the family gets together on the actual day. He's one of 10 kids, so we get upwards of 50 people sometimes. This year it was only 5 of 10 kids that came, so it was closer to 25 people. Much more manageable. In & out in 4 hours, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Grandma's eyes are getting pretty bad though, her cranberries had bits of orange peel that were the size of your thumbnail.

Not exactly 'zested' orange peel. But, we love her none the less.
Good times.
