Family Reunion Keepsake Ideas

Family reunion group pictures are a must.


Family reunions build strong family relationships. Make your next reunion a long-term success by handing out memorable keepsakes for your guests to take home. These keepsakes are a way to say thank you to those who attend and a reminder of the enjoyable time they had, encouraging them to come to the next family get-together. Does this Spark an idea?


T-Shirts


Create T-shirts for all the family members who attend the reunion. Personalized shirts are available online and at some retail stores. The shirts can say, "______ Family Reunion 20__." T-shirts are available in a variety of styles and colors. If your reunion has any kind of competitions, you could get the shirts in different colors to designate teams. Have someone take a picture of all the family members in their new shirts before they leave.


Photo Books


If the budget allows, hire a photographer to take pictures at the reunion. Use the pictures to create a photo book to mail to all the attendees after the reunion. Many online print companies offer discounts for bulk orders. Photo books make great keepsakes because they preserve visual memories of people and events at the reunion. If a photographer is out of the budget, see if someone in the family can take the pictures. Be sure to get a picture of the entire group and the individual families.


Personalized Candy Bars


Order personalized candy bars for the reunion with wrappers that say, "_______ Family Reunion 20__." Put the candy bars in metal pails to use as centerpieces during the reunion. After the reunion is over, each guest can take a candy bar home as a keepsake. Candy bar wrappers are available online and at printing companies. You also can buy personalized candy online with the reunion name printed directly on the candy.


Beach Bag or Tote


You can have personalized beach bags or totes made for the guests who attend the reunion with the family name and year on each bag. If the budget allows, fill the bags with other personalized items, such as magnets, keys, notepads, coasters, mugs and stickers. Personalized beach bags and totes are available at many print shops, online and at some department stores.
