Feel like everyone else is getting older but you are staying the same? We all are on the age train and as time goes back, our class reunion gets closer. High School Reunion Ideas including class reunion decor, high school reunion theme ideas and even class reunion memorial ideas for those that have gone before. Happy planning!

High School Reunion Ideas

Reunited and it feels so good…

I dare you to try to not sing that when talking about a high school reunion! Impossible. The song was always in the subconscious of my mind as I was planning this post. Whether celebrating your 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or even 60th high school reunion, we have some of the best class reunion ideas to create a memorable night or weekend. High school reunion decorations, theme ideas, planning ideas, and even memorial ideas to remember those that have passed before.

We both are so excited ’cause we’re reunited, hey, hey!

Class Reunion Decorations

The reunion decor is everything. It is what brings the vent together, brings the initial visual excitement and bridges the gap of past to he present.

First, name sure you have a name tag for everyone. This High School Reunion Name Tag Template uses photos from the past so you can connect the look for X number of years ago to today! Comes in 10 to 60 years.

Save money on decor by shopping at The Dollar Tree. The Magic of Ordinary Things purchased green floral foam and the shredded paper at the Dollar Tree. She got the IKEA pails for $0.79 each. (We found similar metal pails on Amazon.) All in all, for 20 custom centerpieces, she spent less than $40… less than $2 a piece!

Have a back in time display. For example, if you graduated in 2000, have a back in 2000 and list the following…

• Popular Songs
• TV Shows
• Films That Were Released
• What Things Cost
• Events in History
• Winning Sports  Teams
• Celebrities Who Were Born

You get also get a Back in the Year Digital Copy Flash Back here and turn it into a poster at a copy store like Staples.

This Dry Erase Photo Frame can be personalized to your event.

Also look at these High School Class Reunion Photo Booth Props.

Play a game – Guess the name of these celebrity year book photos… then again, if you are crafty you could probably make your own poster and play this came with your own class (careful for hurt feelings!)

Balloons can be really affordable, the expense comes when you outsource the task. Grab your craftiest graduates and have them follow this easy Balloon Wall tutorial with your class colors.  This tried and true image comes from a Pinterest user and took about 2.5/3 hrs and 250 balloons.

This black, white and gold balloon garland has high ratings too. In includes Balloons garland strip to guide you on your balloon craft. I highly recommend getting 3M Command Brand hooks to hang your balloon garland.

High School Reunion Themes

It’s really easy to take your class reunion decor a certain direction if you have a reunion theme.

Make your high school reunion the theme for the decade you graduated or of your birthday. Great class reunion themes include an eighties party, nineties party or 21st century. Incorporate some of our Glow Theme Party Ideas.

Your reunion might host many events on the schedule. How about incorporating an Adult Theme Prom for the evening. This is perfect those that wish to stay Forever Young! | Source

Make your reunion, Holiday Theme. One of the best times of year to have a reunion is, ironically, not the end of the school year or over summer but rather over the holidays. People return home for the holidays to visit their parents and family.

If the idea of dressing up in theme is really annoying to your guests, have a theme that doesn’t require theme to purchase a themed outfit. A Casino Night allows people to dress up or down and gives people the perfect excuse to wear jeans or wear a tux like the 007 they think they are – wink.

High School Reunion Planning

The planning is the hardest part! Some of these people you don’t remember, others cannot be motivated to help, because of their busy schedule (who isn’t busy?) Suggestions for class reunion planning might help you get others involved.

No one is going to hand write 1,000 invitations. Plus, do you have everyone’s email address? The best way to hand a class reunion is to create a high school reunion Facebook group. Once you do that, create a digital class reunion invitation.

• Black and Gold Digital High School Reunion Invite
• Banner Digital High School Reunion Invitation (personalize your colors)
• Mascot High School Reunion Digital Invite

A Facebook group. This is where you get others involved. Began the group at least a a year in advance and map out your requests. Have a specific date (months in advance) you ask for people to drop photos. Another date ask for classmates to share a memory. Another date, have people tag a friend. The more engagement you get in the group, the more likely it is to come forward to people’s Facebook news feeds.

Plan a Class Reunion Checklist

Have no idea where to start? This class reunion checklist is great for the high school reunion planning committee. Download it, save it, check it as you go.

Eventbrite has a free class reunion software for your class reunion. Easily create a reunion website, manage registrations, and collect fees. In a survey, look at these results for reunion preferences voted on 2500 high school reunion attendees.

• 94% like a reunion that serves alcohol, 6% prefer booze-free
• 92% like to go big after the sun goes down, 9% prefer a day-time reunion
• 89% like to see throwback videos and photos, 11% prefer not to see photos from the past
• 84% prefer to keep it adults only, 16% want to make it kid-friendly
• 83% want a casual reunion, 17% want a formal reunion
• 75% want to open it up to former teachers, 22% want classmates only
• 73% like to keep it toast-free, 27% want to hear speeches
• 67% hope there’s a dance floor, 33% prefer the reunion to be dance free

Don’t forget to assign superlatives. these don’t have to be the same titles you gave in your high school yearbook. Biggest jock is no-longer cool. Try things like furthest traveled, most kids, married the longest, with their high school sweetheart, etc. You can even buy High School Reunion Trophies.

High School Reunion Awards

Possible class reunion superlatives include…

• Farthest Traveled
• Lives the Closest to the School (least distance traveled)
• Married the Longest
• Married High School Sweetheart (winner is the longest)
• Most Eligible Bachelor
• Most Eligible Bachelorette
• Most Kids
• Most Recent Baby
• Parent the Longest (oldest child)
• First Grandparents
• Most Accomplished or Most or Highest Degrees
• Never Left the School (became a teacher at the school!)
• Most Interesting Job
• Still the Same
• Most Changed
• Most Social Media Followers
• Most Famous
• First to Retire
• Deserves the Most Honor (military members)
• Hero Award
• Beat the Odds (overcame the most obstacles)

Some of these reunion awards might not be clear. You can vote on on some of these at the start of the event and award them later in the evening.

If that is too much work, these School Class Reunion Party Mug Shots work too!

Class Reunion Memorial Ideas

As you get further away from your graduation date, those that have passed will go up. Have a Class Reunion Memorial for those Gone but not forgotten. This can be done wither with a bow or tree of life remembered.

Using an old yearbook, copy photos of those that have died. Increase the size before copying. Cut out the photos and attach them to a memorial ribbon.  You can play this bow on a chair called the Empty Chair. | Source

The Empty Chair Poem for a Class Reunion

The Empty Chair

We gather here a class once more,

To reminiscence like years before.

Upon the days and joys we knew,

Before our school-aged time was through.

Yet before we meet with memories near,

We think of those always held dear.

Our friends and classmates passed away,

To be with God and enjoy their day.

Until that hour when we join again,

An empty chair we will maintain.

In honor of the life-long bond,

We forged with those now passed beyond.

The friends with whom we learned life’s truth,

Whose bonds lasted far from our youth.

And shall remain forever near,

When we gather from year to year.

I am happy to share printables. When sharing with others, please lead them to my website instead of emailing them the file(s). It takes time, effort and money to put the freebies forth and I earn when you visit. Thanks for visiting and thanks for sharing with others!

Another idea is to have memorial tree of life. Using an old yearbook, copy photos of those that have died. Increase the size before copying. Cut out the photos and hang them from a tree branch to mimic a tree. | Source

Lastly, you can pick up these Memorial Luminaries of Deceased Classmates using old yearbook photos.

Themed Bingo Game Printables

B-I-N-G-O (it’s hard to talk about Bingo and not sing the song!)

Looking for seasonal Bingo printables? We found the best selection of Bingo games for back to school, fall, winter, spring, and summer. You can use these printable games inside the classroom, for events like a class party, or save for outside the classroom for birthday parties, family events, and more.

What is Bingo?

Bingo is an international game in which players mark off numbers (or pictures) on cards. As the numbers (or pictures) are drawn randomly by a caller, the player marks off the called number (picture). The winner is the first person to mark off five numbers in a row or another required pattern (horizontal, four corners, a diagonal pattern, or even the entire board.)

What are the Bingo Rules?

The rules of Bingo are simple. The rules can change slightly each game, as the caller determines the pattern for winning.

1. Each player gets one card. Cards should be different for each player.
2. In addition to a player, there is a caller.
3. The caller determines the winning pattern for each game. Five in a row (column, diagonal line, four corners, or a full board.)
4. The caller calls out a number (or picture.)
5. The player marks of that number (or picture.) A stamp, marker, or object can be used to mark off the number (or picture).
6. The caller and player continue this rhythm.
7. When a player gets the winning pattern, they call out loudly “bingo”
8. The caller determines the player has one.
9. A new game can begin or the caller can call until a second (third, fourth…) winner occurs.

Bingo Game Prize Ideas

Stick with the theme. These are seasonal games, so consider seasonal prizes. If you are playing Bingo in a classroom, ask your parents to donate non-food prizes. Since you are playing many rounds of Bingo, keep prizes simplistic as larger prizes would be too much.

Bingo prize ideas include:

• Decorative Pencils
• Colored Pens
• Seasonal slime
• Carnival prize toys
• Puzzles
