Create Unique Keepsakes for Your Family Reunion

Family reunions are such heart-warming events to celebrate your unique family. While catching up with long-distance relatives or meeting long-lost ones, enjoying a good meal, good times,  sharing memories and making new ones. Add a personalized keepsake for a great way that everyone can  take a little token of the celebration home with them. Here are some simple ideas you can put together for your next family gathering.

Favour bags

For relatives travelling near or far, a favour bag filled with fruits and snacks can provide just what they need to fuel up for all the reunion activities. Bags can be decorated with custom labels and will come in handy for storing other mementoes from the event. Water bottles can also be personalized with wraparound labels to add a special touch to your occasion.

T-shirts  

This popular keepsake is an instant crowd-pleaser. To get an idea of how many t-shirts you'll need and what size, ask attendees to put down their t-shirt size when they RSVP for the event. For small batches, you can design your own custom t-shirt design with Avery Design & Print Online and print on Avery Fabric Transfers for light-coloured shirts or dark-coloured shirts.

Trivia game

Create a personalized family trivia game with business cards for fun family reunion souvenirs. This unique takeaway makes it fun to get to know your family even better. Before the event, ask attendees to share an interesting fact about each family member. This will help you construct the questions for the cards. Use one side for the question and the flip side to reveal the answer. Design them with pictures or other graphics on Avery Design & Print and print out on business cards.

Recipe book

Collect a recipe book of family favourites as a keepsake at the family reunion. From gramma's famous stew recipe to little Camille's one-of-a-kind instructions for creating a peanut butter sandwich, everyone will love having their own collection of family recipes. Send out a message to everyone to submit their favourites, and compile a recipe binder you can pass out at the event.

Whether you're planning your traditional family reunion, or just kicking off your first one, everyone will appreciate the personalized touch on your celebration materials. Creating unique keepsakes of your own can make your event memorable for years to come.
