How to Create High School Reunion Invitations

Send high school reunion invitations at least three months before the big event. The invitation may be your classmate's first indication that a reunion is coming up. Make sure the information in the invitation is accurate, clear and concise to avoid confusion before the reunion.

Instructions

1. Start your invitation with a greeting to all former classmates. Introduce yourself as the "Class of ... Reunion Committee."

2. Give reunion details after the greeting. Include date, time and location of the reunion in one paragraph. Keep the important information together and concise.

3. Detail any cost associated with attending the reunion. Be sure fees are outlined and explained clearly, especially when there's different costs for attending special events of the high school class reunion.

4. Add a section about events planned for the reunion such as social hour, dance and photos. Request any information or photos for a memory book to be mailed prior to the reunion.

5. Include an addressed and stamped RSVP card for classmates to return. The card should also have an area to fill out attendee numbers and include a reminder to include payment.

6. Attach a map and directions to the reunion event. Always include contact information such as names, phone numbers and email addresses for classmates to use if they have any questions.

7. Create a website to connect classmates, collect addresses and find those classmates everyone has lost touch with. Include invitation information on the website.

Tips & Warnings

• Join a reunion website to locate classmates. Compile classmate emails to start the invitation process a year early.

• Specify exactly who is invited in the invitation, classmates and partners, children or whatever the committee decides.

• Responses and payments can all be made via internet if you include an email address to respond to and a Paypal account that classmates can pay the reunion costs through.

• Include some kind of dress attire information in the information so classmates aren't confused about what they should wear.

• Don't forget to send invitations to teachers.

• Don't assume all classmates remember their way around the city. Include a map and directions to help them out.
