5th annual family reunion: tshirts or other ideas?

[Ashley&Scott]

We're having our 5th family reunion this weekend. My mom just realized it's the 5th & wants to commemorate somehow. We've done t-shirts in the past. Any other ideas?

Of course whatever we decide will have to be ordered after the reunion since it's in like 4 days...maybe we can incorporate a picture from the event or something...

How about a calendar for each family with photos from the event?

I hate t-shirts from events like that. I always feel guilty tossing them, but they inevitably wind up wadded up in the bottom of my drawer.

My family does photo calendars every year at Christmas time for the coming year, with photos from the previous year. I like that.

We've done shirts a few times in the past, I only ordered the first year & never wear it. I'm not sure if my other family members get more use out of them, we've had a few asking if we're making them so maybe they do...?

We've also done photo books after the event, that seemed to go over well.

Keep the ideas coming

Oh, win!

My very favorite triathlon gives pint glasses instead of medals to the age group winners. :beer: :heart:

Was thinking this to. So you can actually get through t he reunion

School made a calendar with different grade levels on each month . . . the calendar was a CUTE idea! And it was something that people actually used. Not everybody drinks beer or wears t-shirts . . . but just about everybody needs to know the date!

The calendar would be a cute idea where you can add all the family member's birthdays (shutterfly lets you add a pic to the actual day). Although that can be a PITA if it's a huge family. And assuming everyone buys their own.

You can also start them mid-year, so it can be August 2012 - July 2013 - just in time for next year's reunion!

Jones Soda will put any picture on a bottle of soda, for a fee. We're doing this for my younger brother's 50th, putting his kindergarten picture on the front and a paragraph up to 300 words on the back.

100 bottles costs 250 dollars.

That's a really cute idea!
