There are many ways to make your reunion memorable. Some ideas that have been used include:
You can use the information collected through mailers to create an alumni directory for your class.
You can create a memory book filled with information from high school as well as current contact information.
Create a running slideshow of old and new pictures of your classmates.
You may also want to buy disposable cameras to place on the tables. Ask your classmates to take pictures and then create a website to post them on.
You could create a reunion yearbook or a mock student newspaper-the Cavalier with information about the reunion and information about classmates in it.
Good gift ideas include shirts, caps, mugs, key rings, glasses, group photos, or a souvenir booklet.
You may want to include an event at your reunion such as an Awards Ceremony (most famous, longest traveled, least hair, etc), Slide Show (current and past photos), Songs or Cheers (have DJ play songs that were popular, or have cheerleaders do the fight song)
You may want to set up a memorabilia table at the reunion. This table can include items such as:
Yearbooks
Prom Glasses and Homecoming items
Letters from classmates who could not attend
Popular sayings or slogans
Political campaign buttons
Hall Passes
Tickets and posters from school plays
Old Homework
Snapshots
List of who was involved in what clubs
List of those dearly departed from your class
Group pictures from high school
Pictures from the last reunion
Materials for a time capsule
Memory Mementos
Have school/reunion trivia printed on napkins, handouts, or posters that alumni can read.
Create nametags with high school pictures on them, along with the person’s name.
Look at history trivia, such as at this time, gas cost ___ and the oscar for best movie was ___.
Things to consider are: Cost of these items and how it will affect ticket prices
If item is a directory of some sort, do you want to give it out at the reunion or mail it (you may have people who do not attend the reunion or people who show up without sending their RSVP)
How much time does your committee have to devote to an extra project?
