How to Design a Reunion T-Shirt

Reunions are special events. It's when you get the chance to see family or friends you haven't seen in a long time. Maybe it's a school reunion and you're seeing people you haven't seen since high school and maybe won't see again for another 20 years. That's why reunion T-shirts are ideal. Passing out T-shirts to commemorate the reunion is a great way for everyone attending to remember the occasion. Here's how to design a reunion T-shirt that will leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends your reunion.

Things You'll Need

• Pencil
• Paper
• Photographs
• T-shirts

Instructions

1. Design your reunion T-shirt on paper first. Make a guest list of everyone who will attend. If you're doing a reunion shirt for your high school graduating class, find a group photo in a yearbook if possible. Scan the picture to include on the front of the T-shirt. Try to get the best photo. You want everyone to be able to look at how each person appeared in school as opposed to present day.

2. Consider adding the school mascot on the back of the shirt in outline form for reunion guests to sign their names.

3. Assemble your art work, whether you've drawn it or have decided to use photographs. Write down any slogan or school motto you want to include in the design, as well as the date and time of the reunion. You'll want to include this information on the T-shirt, as well.

4. Purchase blank T-shirts in a variety of sizes and in your school colors if possible (see Resources). Take the T-shirts and your design materials to a local printer who does shirts or use one of the many online services (see Resources).
