A family reunion can be a special and unique way to hold an event and connect with family members you don't get to see that often.
But when it comes to your reunion favors, what do you bring? And how do you keep that cost low when considering how many guests you'll have to provide them for?
Everyone expects gift bags, photos, mugs, etc., but what if you could make a personalized and custom item with a design that you choose that's truly special to create and save memories of the event for your family?
Sounds pretty good, right? That's the magic of customizable wristbands.
But before we dig into how you can easily turn your ideas into a wristband reality, let's dig into some common questions about the family reunion tradition.
When planning family reunions, considering the perfect timing for your event is key. You want to make sure the weather is appropriate for your guests' comfort while still giving them room for the reunion event in their busy schedules.
You want your reunion to be just perfect!
One of the most common seasons to hold these kinds of reunion events is during the Summer.
Kids are home free on break from school, many families are already planning to go on cross-country road trips, and the Summer weather makes it easy to organize fun and free outdoor events.
And speaking of fun outdoor events, remember that wristbands don't have to just be something you give as gifts. They can also be used as tools for determining sides and teams in games and activities!
You might even create a unique design for each team, or give them a unique color. Go wild when you customize your design and give a personal look relating to their team color onto their wristbands.
We love to see how creative our customers get during the design process. You'd be surprised what kind of intricate designs can be translated onto silicone wristbands, and that's a quality well-suited for something like a family reunion!
While less common, some families choose to hold their reunion during the Fall or Winter since the weather can be a little easier to manage (especially if you live down south).
Picture this; the entire family together holding mugs of warm coffee (or cocoa for the kids) when the temperature's low as you share old memories and create new ones that will last a lifetime.
There are several things to keep in mind when considering who should pay for your family reunion:
Was it held at a venue? Was the food catered? Is your budget high or relatively low? Did you pay a designer to create and provide the menu, paper decorations, plastic silverware and other items, print invites, etc.?
It can be easy for the price of a reunion to add up!
Unless you have a family member host it at their home and find someone who'll provide everything else for free, most family reunions keep the cost low and manageable by splitting it among each individual family or attendee. That way you won't end up with one family footing the bill for the entire event!
Maybe Grandpa needs to thin out his collection of woodworking tools but still wants to keep them in the family. Or maybe you've always heard stories about Great-Aunt Martha's award-winning Chicken Kiev but never had the chance to make or try it yourself. Well, with this option now you can, all while helping raise money for your reunion at the same time!
C'mon, you know we're all thinking it. Besides, do they really need a second leased Porsche? I say no, the memories you'll create at your reunion are far more valuable. And don't feel bad for asking, you guys are related after all. They can afford to provide their relatives with a few free meals!
