It’s Family Reunion Season

Our Family Tree design is the most popular choice for Family Reunion favors.

The slower pace of summer and warm weather allowing for large outside functions are the perfect ingredients for family reunions. No wonder so many people plan their annual reunion events during the lazy days of summer. Some reunions are small, but others involve generations of families gathering in mutually-agreed upon locations. 

For some families, the Annual Family Reunion is as big as a wedding or other major event.  For this reason, many websites offer reunion planning services to help organize the day or reunion weekend.  Try going to www.yahoo.com and entering the search terms “family reunion resources” or “family reunion planning.” You will be returned a host of great reunion planning sites with plenty of information on how to throw the best family reunion ever.

Creating a keepsake or favor for the Family Reunion is often a difficult task.  What will be useful to people of all ages, male or female? Well, we’re a little partial to bookmarks, but laminated bookmarks do make the perfect memento for family reunions, especially when you can customize them and personalize them with your own family information.  As one customer recently told us, “Everyone can use a bookmarker, even if they use it in their phone book!”  

Here are some ideas our customers have used on family reunion bookmarks:

• Include an old photograph of the matriarch and patriarch of the family (as shown in the example above — actual customer order).  Others choose photos of the home their great grandparents lived in “when in all began.”
  

  Families often provide their reunion logo for use on their custom bookmarks.

• Some customers provide us with their reunion logos. Often, they’ve had t-shirts made with the design, and then they come to us with their design and ask us to produce it on bookmarks in their reunion theme colors. (example shown right — actual customer order). 
• Since printing on the backside is free at Impressive Inscriptions, customers take advantage of this and have us list family members names — sometimes generation’s worth — on the backside.
• The backside is also used for remembering and honoring deceased family members.
• Other ideas:  special family poems, quotes, words to songs, and scripture passages.
