Does anyone have any cute family reunion name tag ideas?

Question

I am throwing a family reunion and have designed the shirts and would like to create name tags with the shirt design also on them. However, I want a cute way to add what branch of the tree they came from (i.e. I am married to Mark who's Laurie's son and Laurie is Walter's first child of 8 and oldest daughter). Any ideas??

Answer 1

You could have the matriarch or patriarch wear name tags of a tree and you would have the children wear tags that look like branches and the grandchildren wear tags that look like the nuts on the tree!!

Answer 2

I like Wendy's idea above.

Put up a chart with all the branches in a different color, and write their name on the tags in the appropriate branch color.

Sounds like fun....good luck!

Answer 3

I was wondering if the family tree is on the shirt. Then perhaps they could put their nametags on their branch of the tree on their shirt?

Hope that made sense.

Answer 4

We had one a while back. I come frome a HUGE family, so we had tags that said (In my case)

*Name*

from *mother's name (her side of the fmaily)

from "grandpa's name"

A good thing too because I didn't know half the people there

:-)

Answer 5

off the top of my head, I thought immediately of tombstones. Well, you ARE talking to genealogists, you know <grin>

As far as tags showing the branch.. that would be hard to fit on a smallish size tag... what about color coded?

Answer 6

oh oh , like if its ur family reunion u can give relatives related by marrage shirts that say " my heat belongs 2 _____" so they know who they are there with....thats my only idea sorry! :)

Answer 7
