Save money dressing up that family tree!

Are you planning family reunion? What a great opportunity to purchase reunion tees. Reunion tees promote family unity and pride. It is also a way, when in a public place, for everyone in the family to recognize who is with their specific gathering. And perhaps best of all is the fact that everyone in the family will have a souvenir of your great day! I have listed some tips to make the reunion shirt affordable for everyone.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Convince everyone who will be attending the reunion to order a shirt. Be sure to include everyone from the smallest child to the most elderly member of your family. One factor in reunion shirt pricing is quantity. The more shirts you are ordering, the less expensive each shirt will be for each member.

  2. Step 2

    Pick white or light colors. White shirts are the least expensive shirts to order from your screen printer. Light colored shirts are also less costly than darker colored shirts.

  3. Step 3

    Prices are also based on the number of ink colors required for your design. If you can keep your design to one color of ink, you will save a lot of money. The screen printer can produce a very nice design of one or two colors of ink. You can also get some ideas from online custom shirt sites.

  4. Step 4

    Request screen printing of one side of the shirt. In some instances printing on the second side of the shirt can nearly double your cost.

  5. Step 5

    If you want names on your shirts, there is a better solution. Ask your screen printer for pricing on name buttons. If he or she does not offer buttons, it may be worth your while to find a company that can produce buttons with each family members' name. Screen printing the names directly on the shirts can be very costly.

Tips & Warnings
  • Require payment up front from all of those who want a reunion shirt. This will ensure you have the money to pay the screen printing company.
  • Order well in advance. Rush charges can be outrageous.
  • Never try to guess someone's size! This can lead to hurt feelings before you even get to the reunion.
