Making Family Reunion Memories

From icebreakers to basic identification, name tags are a must at your family reunion. No matter the size of your family, getting everyone together in one place and at one time is a massive undertaking. Making sure that everyone in attendance knows each other at your next family reunion can be a daunting task.

Using name tags helps ease almost any burden when planning such an event. But remember that name tags are not just for names. Here are a couple of ideas to help you get started.

Basic identification with badge holders

use badge holders for family tree information at your family reunion

Yup, we said it. Use your badge holders for names! Remember to include first and last, but you can also use these badges for icebreakers. Add fun facts about each person or add a conversation starter such as the words, “Ask me _,” to get all the partygoers interested in each other.

Another fun idea is to use badge holders to indicate family tree lines. Either create a tree and print it on the inserts or have party attendants draw their tree. And use the fun insert colors to indicate specific family lines. That way, each family member can quickly associate which line they are from.

Don’t forget the games and souvenirs!

There are many ways to use adhesive name badges at your next family reunion. From games to easy identification, the possibilities are endless. And one of the easiest things to do at a reunion is play games. These games can be nearly anything. Print on adhesive name badges or have pens available for contestants to write names and other things. With these easy to use stickers, everyone can participate in your family reunion games.

Even get the kids involved in learning who their cousins are. Send them on a scavenger hunt with a dry erase photo book made from badge holders to find as many relatives as possible.

Camping Adventures & Fun With Lanyards

Complete your camping adventure and have fun all with custom lanyards! Whether planning a family reunion, a summer youth program or a nature retreat, lanyards add fun and efficiency to any outdoor activity. Custom lanyards are great accessories for all campers and party goers. And, they serve as excellent souvenirs for the memories made while camping or at a family reunion.

Here are some quick tips on how to use custom lanyards while camping or during your summer festivities.

Lanyards are great for necessary camping gear.

custom lanyards are perfect for summer activities such as camping and family reunions

Most campers use a compass to help them navigate through their camping terrain such as the woods or a desert. Knives can come in handy when you need to cut a piece of rope or a tree branch. So, carrying essential camping gear like these on a quality lanyard ensures that these items will not get lost while exploring the great outdoors.

Lanyards are also a great idea to keep in camp kitchens and latrines! Use them to hold spices and kitchen utensils. Or, keep small containers of toiletries together for easy use and quick accessibility.

And, because lanyards can be worn around a neck or attached to a bag or piece of clothing, hands remain free to engage in camping activities. Setting up a tent, starting a fire and rock climbing all become easier by using this fantastic tool!

Maintaining security and keeping people identified are common camping issues.

For summer programs, campers can wear a name badge or other form of identification to create unity and elevate camp security. Camp leaders need to be able to identify each participant in their program. And, having each camper wear a lanyard with a name badge will help identify those who belong. They also aid in remembering people’s names.

For family reunions, name badges help everyone remember each other’s names and how they are related. If there are other campers around, lanyards help you see who is a part of your group.

Lanyards are also tons of fun!

Campers will love coming up with creative ways to wear their lanyard. Wear it around a wrist like a bracelet, slip it through a belt loop or tie it around an ankle. Try wearing it like a headband or an armband. Or, maybe use it like a shoelace. There are many possibilities, and finding all of them can add an extra dose of fun and creativity to any camping adventure.

Because they are so versatile, custom lanyards are one of the best tools to bring on a camping trip.

Ways to Use Name Tags at a Wedding

Name tags pair perfectly with any event. And that includes a wedding!

While most decorations at a wedding are typically ribbons and cloth, name tags can play an essential part during your special day too. Here are a few quick ideas on how to incorporate these identification tools for your special day.

Glass and Wine Tags for a Wedding Toast

Sometimes guests may forget where they set down their drinkware. Help them remember with simple glass tags. These tags are also great for seating arrangements. And, when everyone knows where their glass is, they will be ready for any toasts to the couple are made.

Choose different colors for different types of guests. Use white to designate the bride and groom. Find a color that complements the theme and use that for bridesmaids and groomsmen. Many weddings have a multiple color theme, so use those colors to designate different things and people.

Name Plate and Signs for Tables

From food designations to decorating for a beautiful evening, get your creativity flowing with custom signs and name plates. Add a name plate to the buffet tables to designate different meats or desserts. Or, customize a fancy table number with a small sign.

Signs are also fantastic for displaying the bride and groom’s names at the entrance of the reception hall. Display different signs around the reception area of favorite quotes or sayings. Or, create something unique to the couple that will help the wedding be memorable.

Wedding Seating Arrangements

Choose from an abundance of colors that will fit perfectly with any wedding. Add graphics and details, or add names for seating your wedding party.

Looking for a super creative way to help your guests find their place at the table? This unique idea incorporates custom lanyards and name badges. While this shows the place settings hanging from trees for the guests to find their names, they may also be spread out on a table. Choose a lanyard in your wedding colors and grab a handy badge holder to display people’s names and seating placements.

Accessorizing Pets with Their Own IDs

Personal identification is a needed accessory for pets too!

Most companies offer employees personal identification. And this identification usually comes in the form of a name tag or name badge. While name badges are versatile and easy to change for volunteers and temporary staff, name tags provide a uniform look for all personnel. So, why not incorporate office pets into the mix?

Many employers these days have pet policies that allow for workers to either bring pets to work or have therapy animals available during lunches and other breaks. By identifying these animals with a name tag, employees will know that these pets are welcome in the building.

And, if there are service animals around, using proper identification helps people know how to respond to them. Some service animals require that they are left alone, and using name tags will help identify that need.

Name Tags vs. Photo ID Badges

Name tags are perfect for quick information such as your pet’s name and your phone number. And, choosing a custom shape such as a bone, dog or cat can be a fun way to add some creativity to your pet’s tag.

Photo ID badges make the identification process easy. You can include a photo, all pertinent information such as a phone number, address, pet’s name and so much more. These photo IDs are perfect for service animals and including company logos for office pets.

Don’t forget to include all the essential information!

Each ID should include at least a name and an owner’s phone number. Other things to add would be an address, the owner’s name and additional information about the animal. If the pet works in an office, the company logo is always a great idea to include. As most owners do not remove name tags or identification from pets, this becomes free company advertising.

Finding A Lost Pet

Not only is a name tag a good idea at work, but it is also good in a general sense. Keep identification on your pets at all times in case they decide to take themselves for a walk. People are more likely to approach a seemingly lost pet if they have a name tag. And, if your information is current on this tag, you won’t have any problems getting them back.

So, whether you are around service animals or have a pet dropping by your office, let’s take a moment to appreciate every pet’s name tag.
