Picture Me Having Fun

Give each guest a picture frame to keep as a homecoming souvenir.
Blast From the Past

Use homecoming as a time to venture back in time by throwing a Blast From the Past event. Select four distinctive decades, and assign one to each class. Tell freshmen to come dressed in 1950s sock-hop attire, sophomores in 1960s flower-child get-ups, juniors in disco-esque 1970s gear and seniors in rad 1980s fashions. Decorate by enlarging famous photos from each of the represented decades and hanging the images around the room. Offer a prize to the best costume from each decade to encourage creativity.
