Family reunions can be some of the greatest times for any family. They bring together different generations and often people from all over the country. T-shirts for these occasions is one of the most lasting if not best memories. There are a few things that you should keep in mind when designing your family reunion t-shirt. You want them to be something that can be cherished and worn by everyone in the family.
Keeping that in mind they should be unique to your family. They should be fun and reminiscent of the good times not only at the family reunion, but of the family's life as a whole. Funny slogans, pictures, etc. are a great idea, but I at least recommend staying away from offensive things. Remember everyone from the Ally's new born to Great-Aunt Ellen will be wearing these. So something PG but clever tends to be the way most people go. I've seen everything from having a tree with names on it to picture of the oldest and younger people in the family superimposed on each other.
Whatever the case, I would urge you to make them your own. These shirts will be worn by everyone in the family and are a representation of your family. I know that I wear the t-shirt from my last family reunion all the time.
Another thing to think about is what kind of t-shirts you want to buy. The truth on this one is that if you go with a good printer it won't matter. A good printer will more likely than not only offer high quality t-shirts. Talk to them and they will let you know whether your individual situation lends itself better to a one hundred percent cotton or a 50/50 blend.
The last thing that you may want to consider is what you want to do as far as ink colors go. The more colors the more expensive the t-shirts are invariably going to be. Usually I recommend that you keep your t-shirt designs under three colors. Just think, every color means a new screen and that has to get added into the cost.
So before your next family reunion, talk it over and get some t-shirts made. If you are struggling to come up with a design, there are a few screen printers who offer free artwork. When it's all said and done, the thing to remember more than anything is that these are your family's t-shirts. They are unique and should be something you are proud to wear.
Family Reunion T Shirts
Family reunions are fabulous gatherings of families who want to celebrate various family events such as anniversaries, birthdays and family milestones. Often large groups of family members will gather from all points around the country to one particular city and state to have their family reunion. These events can be extremely well orchestrated when family reunion committees take the time to plan out the reunion to almost the very last detail.
Commemorating your family reunion with custom designed t-shirts can provide family members with a keepsake that they can treasure for many years to come. Making a tradition of providing custom made t-shirts for family members who attend the reunion can become a tradition and part of a collection of collector's items for those who attend the reunion each time one is held.
A well organized family reunion doesn't just happen. Many months before, a great deal of organization and effort goes into making a great family reunion happen. Reservations for air, hotel, car rentals and more can be a major undertaking for large groups of family members. Coordination for every aspect including meals, activities, whole group gatherings, age-categorized activities and more are all a part of what makes a family reunion the memorable event that it is.
Designing a custom made t shirt can be just as monumental. Some families include the cost of the t-shirt in the cost of attending the reunion and create a cash fund that allows for unique designs that let the world know your family is having a reunion in style.
Seeing everyone wearing the family design at picnic or indoor dinner gatherings can truly be a heartwarming site. Not only that, the individuality and creativity of how different family members accessorize and wear their own t-shirt can be an event all by itself. Why not plan to have a best t-shirt wearer contest for several age groups? Give an award, take pictures and check out just how unique your family members really are.
One of the nicest things about using t-shirts for commemorating your family reunion is that they come in all sizes, an amazing variety of colors and you can custom design your family's name, logo or whatever you'd like to have the t-shirts say. Consider sending out a mailing list to family members to have a ?design our t-shirt this year? contest. Reward the winner by adding their name to the design of the t-shirts so that everyone knows who came up with the winning design.
Have a family reunion coming up this summer? No family is too large or too small to commemorate the occasion with custom designed t-shirts. Even if you've never considered having your family reunion wear t-shirts, there's no time like the upcoming reunion to get great tees for everyone in attendance.
Be sure to allow sufficient time for your order to be processed and deliver well ahead of your family reunion so that you'll have time to sort out sizes and have them read for the day of the reunion.
