Collect photos of the attendees from high school days and the present. You can copy photos from the year book, and also ask attendees to send copies of current photos when they register for the event.

Compile the photos on a computer, and use photo editing software to create a mosaic or collage photo. A mosaic photo is a compilation of a large number of photos grouped together into a larger shape, such as the graduating year.

Print out a collage or mosaic photos for each attendee. Use one as the cover for a blank memory book to give to each attendee, filled with photos of each person from the year they graduated, and a current photo to match it. Another option is to place the photo in an inexpensive picture frame. Personalize the photo frame with a permanent paint marker with the class year.

Compile all of the "then and now" photos on blank CDs, create a personalized label with the class year and the reunion date, and distribute to all the attendees.

Order insulated photo mugs on which you can print the class reunion photos and place inside the liner. Ordering in a large lot can reduce the price of items like these, and each attendee will have a daily use item to remember the event.

Tips & Warnings
Look for inexpensive items on clearance that are easily personalized like the photo frames. Order in large numbers to save costs.
Beware of people who may not want their photo shown. Ensure you have a statement when you request the photos of what you intend to do with them in case some people do not want to include theirs.
When ordering personalized items, be careful of excessive shipping costs, and also be aware some attendees may back out at the last minute so some items will go unused.
