Give your reunion guests a thoughtful gift.
While the gift that most family reunion attendees desire most is time with family, preparing gift baskets for family members is a thoughtful way to give them something tangible by which to remember the event. As you plan your next family reunion, put some time and effort into the preparation of family reunion gift baskets to ensure that all of your guests return home with a memento of the time of family togetherness. Does this Spark an idea?
Family Reunion T-Shirt
Promote unity at your family reunion by giving your members a family reunion t-shirt. Create a shirt featuring your family tree or family name prominently on the front. Have copies of this shirt printed out for each planned guest at your reunion, and place them in your reunion gift baskets. Purchase shirts that are all the same color, or instead make the hue indicative of the smaller family to which each member belongs, having shirts for one family printed in red, another in green and so forth.
Imprinted Pens and Pencils
Give your family reunion guests something useful in their family reunion gift baskets by purchasing imprinted pens and pencils. Have writing utensils created with your family name or the phrase "____ family reunion" followed by the year in which your reunion is going to take place. This small favor will likely end up in family pen cups and continually remind users of the fun that they had at their family reunion.
Customized Photo Album
Present reunion guests with a book in which to stow pictures from the reunion by ordering a customized photo album. Have albums printed with your family name alone allowing for use with any family photos, or instead have the phrase "___ Family Reunion" printed on the cover of the album, making it specific to the event you are hosting.
Picture Print Website Giftcard
Ensure that all reunion guests have access to pictures of your event by placing a picture print website giftcard in your family reunion gift basket. Many photo websites allow you to upload images and order prints. Select one of these websites, and purchase gift cards from the site. Set up an account into which you can upload images. Type out your account information and attach it to your gift card, instructing guests to go to this site after the reunion to see and print images from the event using the gift card provided.
Family History Book
While some families only pass history through word of mouth, others are lucky enough to have a book containing their family history in print. If there is a book containing information about your family or distant relatives, purchase copies of this text and place them in your family reunion gift basket, allowing all guests to take home a piece of their family history.
