Lapel Pins Plus has been making a lot of reunion lapel pins lately. That’s because each year, organizers recognize the need for this type of item at their special events. Committees contact us with their design ideas. This usually includes their school mascot along with the year of the event.
Ten year reunions seem to be the most popular but we just did one for a thirty year reunion. This goes to show that sentimental items like lapel pin make great souvenirs. Former students can wear their pins long after the event is over. In fact, this is a great way to encourage conversations wherever you go. If you wear your lapel pin out in public, people are sure to ask about where you got it, what high school you attended, and what year you graduated.
Handing Out Lapel Pins at Registration is a Great Way to Start the Night
As former students enter the reunion venue, they must register. This is how reunion committee members keep track of who is expected at the event. Custom lapel pins can be handed out at this time and worn throughout the event. This is a great way to show school pride and also let others know that attendees have already checked in.
Incorporating School Colors to Really Help the Memories Come Back to Life
Small details like the school’s colors can be added to the lapel pin’s design as a way of adding sentimental value to the gifts. Reunion attendees can look at the pins and be reminded of the friends they had, the teachers that educated them, and the events they participated in. Whether it was playing Varsity Basketball or participating in their school’s debate team, something memorable most likely happened during the three or four years before graduation. Lapel pins help evoke these memories.
Multiple Plating Options Add Appeal to Lapel Pin Designs
One reunion committee asked if we could plate half the pins in gold and the other half in silver. The reason behind this was that the spouses would wear one color of lapel pin and the graduates of the school would wear the other plating, this way everyone new who was who. Custom lapel pins are perfect for identification purposes.
Attaching Lapel Pins to Name Cards is a Nice Touch At Reunion Dinners
Another nice touch would be to attach the lapel pin to each person’s name card at the dinner tables. In addition to adding to the decor, it also ensures that everyone is recognized with their own pin. These items can also be attached to cloth napkins if name cards are unavailable.
High school reunion lapel pins are unique and full of personality. They help former students remember their past and give them something to look forward to in the future. In addition to containing information about the school, they often contain pertinent information about the event itself. If you’re looking for a way to honor your fellow classmates and want to give them a gift that makes a great impression, consider lapel pins and all that they bring to a function.
