Planning a class reunion is difficult, especially if you graduated with a class of over five hundred. That happens in public schools. The first task is to find a venue to hold the number of people you think will show up and then get to working on the decorations and materials you want to incorporate into the theme. It’s like planning for prom all over again, minus the fancy dresses and being able to legally add alcohol to the punch.
Design a welcome packet for the attendees.
As class president, it is your duty to put together a welcome packet that has itinerary for the night (or weekend) so each homecoming attendee knows what important events are happening. If you want to look like you succeeded in the adult world, you can bind the welcome packet and have it professionally printed with high quality paper. Having a packet that also includes stickers for name tags and a pen in each to write with will go a long way. If you have a larger budget, it is great idea to print each personalized nametag. It will add extra meaning to the event and make each alumna feel welcome.
Send out an email reminding everyone to bring business cards.
There’s nothing like a little networking while you’re catching up with old classmates, right? Time Printers can make sure you are well equipped with your own business cards – and you can stick them in the welcome packets so everyone knows who to contact if a question should arise. In your email, you should include the time and date of the event, what to bring, and what to expect. It also helps if you give people an idea of how to dress so some aren’t showing up in cutoff jeans and others in suits.
Print out tickets or vouchers for the class reunion events.
If your old schoolmates have moved out of the area, they may need some direction on where to stay, where to eat, and what new attractions are available. Printing handouts or accessing travel booklets to put into the welcome packets will be useful not only to your essence of time but effort answering the same questions over and over again. If you are hosting a catered meal or having an event at a venue that requires tickets, those vouchers can be printed and put into the welcome bag as well.
Reunion booklets to raise funds for the reunion.
Class reunions cost money and often go over budget. One way to remedy this is to sell ad space in a reunion booklet, or ad journal. It’s a nice and convenient way for local businesses to advertise their goods and services, andis a quick and easy way for reunion organizers to cover any unexpected costs. Time Printers can help with the design and layout to ensure an attractive piece your advertisers will love at an affordable price tag that will ensure you have the funds you need. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!
