Creating the Perfect Family Reunion with Custom Lapel Pins, Patches, and Lanyards

Reunions are a time where several generations of a family can get together and remember the past as well as plan their futures.  Promotional products like custom lapel pins, embroidered patches, and imprinted lanyards are created for these events and serve as cherished keepsakes for those in attendance.  Although reunions are often short lived, memories that are made at them will last a lifetime.

Ways to Use Custom Lapel Pins, Embroidered Patches, and Lanyards

Some of the ways promotional products can be used at your next reunion are:

• Unique and purposeful, custom lanyards are a favorite at special events.  With the right type of attachments, they can be used to carry IDs, cell phones, and keys.  There are a number of styles to choose from and designs can be imprinted or embroidered into the fabric depending on the family’s preference.
• Embroidered patches are long lasting.  They can be sewn onto clothing and bags which help make a visual statement.  They also can be created in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles depending on your design ideas.
• Custom lapel pins are versatile.  They can be used in a variety of ways and come in several different styles.  Like embroidered patches, you can choose different sizes and shapes.  Add-ons like dangling charms, blinking lights, and movable pieces can add style and flair to your family reunion lapel pin design.

Incorporating Promotional Products Into Your Family Reunion

Family reunions often involve food and games.  You can easily incorporate promotional products into your theme in the following ways:

• Create place cards with each family member’s name on it.  Stick a custom lapel pin through the card and tell everyone they are welcome to take home their gifts after the meal is served.
• Give certain members of the family a specific task to complete.  For example, appoint a team of Cooks, a Clean-Up Crew, and Errand Runners.  Give each person a lanyard with a  badge holder identifying their role.  Groups will be easier to distinguish when wearing their appropriate title.
• Award custom lapel pins or embroidered patches to the winners of games and tasks.  You can include information about the event, your family’s name, and the achievement that is being rewarded on the product.

Custom lapel pins, embroidered patches, and lanyards are incredibly useful at family reunions.  Not only can they help identify your kin, they also serve as a piece of memorabilia which helps you remember the time that you spent together.
