are
Fun & Easy
Have fun while surviving the family reunion.
Family reunion t shirts are a fun way to
show identity and build family unity.And, as my husband says, they make you look you’re a part of the family even when you feel like the black sheep of the group!
Think about it – individuals on sports teams wear uniforms that identify themselves at every game. Why not have family reunion t shirts do the same thing?
The uniform demonstrates who they are, states where they come from and, often, implies what they stand for.
If everyone is wearing the same shirt...
- no ONE person will stand out in the family picture,
- individuals are instantly recognized as members of the same group,
and
- each family member is automatically included.
Plus, personalized shirts make great reunion souvenirs.
What should family reunion t shirts look like? Anything you’d like. That’s the joy of having personalized shirts.
Design your own shirt
There are many companies that will help you design your own shirt or other personalized reunion keepsake.
Simply –
- Decide what you want
- Compare vendors, prices and services (Be aware of minimum print runs, shirt quality and choices, and design flexibility.)
- Allow plenty of time – at least 3 weeks - for printing.
Keep things simple. The best t-shirts are easy to read and straight forward. Information could include:
- Event Title (reunion name, family surname or simply “Family Reunion”)
- Date
- Place
- Image (picture, clip art or graphic design) (something with a family tree is very fitting and quite popular)
- Saying, quote or scripture
(You have tons of fun t shirt sayings to choose from!)
Use a spreadsheet to keep track of orders and money.
Make your own t shirt
To make your own t shirt, the same basic rules apply.
- Decide what you want – is the emphasis on creating something together or being able to wear similar shirts or both?
- Determine project needs. Make plans and gather supplies.
- Have a sample available to look at and plenty of adult supervision/help for the little kids.
One of the great things about this option is that your family can all bring their own shirts… And, they don’t have to be brand new.
This is a great way to get extended use out of those stained shirts in the kids’ closets! (Maybe have a few blank t-shirts, in random sizes, on hand in case someone forgets to bring their own.)
