Color-coded name tags that print themselves
Avery 5395 badges or 5160 labels, color-coded by family branch. Pulled automatically from your guest list. Print from your browser or export to Word. No design skills, no copy-paste, no manual entry.
Sample Avery 5395 sheet
Sage = Smith side, Gold = Jones side, Grey = married-in. Real sheets generate for the full guest list.
The name-tag problem is bigger than it looks
At a reunion of 80 people you mostly haven't met since 2009, name tags aren't optional. They're the social lubricant that lets your cousin actually introduce his husband to your mom without anyone embarrassing themselves forgetting a name. They're also a small disaster to make manually.
The usual approach: open a Word document, paste your guest list, manually format each name into a Avery template, realize three names are misspelled in the spreadsheet, re-format, realize you want different colors for the two sides of the family, give up, write "HI MY NAME IS" on stickers with a Sharpie at the reunion morning. Cousins squint at your handwriting all weekend.
Reunly fixes this in one place. Your guest list is your name tag list. Color-coding by family branch is one click. Maiden names are a checkbox. The Avery sheet generates itself. You hit Print. You have 65 perfect tags in 90 seconds.
Reunion name tags, done in 90 seconds
Avery 5395 + 5160 templates
Classic clip-on badges (5395), adhesive sticker tags (5160), large badges with metal frames (5392), round kids' labels (22805). Custom dimensions supported too.
Color-coded by family branch
Smith side sage, Jones side gold, in-laws cream. Color-coded tags make introductions instantly easier at a reunion of 80 people you mostly haven't met.
Name + maiden name
Preferred name in big type, maiden name in parens for relatives who married in - so cousins can place who's who. Optional pronouns.
Print from browser
Open the print dialog, select your Avery sheet, hit print. Reunly handles bleed, alignment, and crop marks - it just works on Avery paper.
Export to Word
Need to tweak a few tags by hand or send to a friend with a different printer? Export the full sheet as a .docx file - fully editable.
Updates automatically
Add a new baby, change a name, fix a typo. The next print batch reflects every change. No redoing the whole sheet - the guest list is the source of truth.
How it works
Tag your guests by family branch
In your Reunly guest list, tag each person 'Smith side', 'Jones side', 'married-in' - or whatever branches your family has. One-time setup.
Pick template & color palette
Avery 5395 (clip-on badge), 5160 (sticker), 5392 (large badge with frame), or 22805 (round kids). Pick colors for each branch - sage, gold, cream are the defaults.
Print on Avery paper
Hit Print. Reunly renders the full sheet with proper alignment, bleed, and crop marks. Or export to Word and tweak by hand if you want. Buy Avery 5395 from any office store.
The killer feature
One source of truth. Forever.
When grandma gets a new great-grandchild, you add the baby once. Their name tag prints with the rest at no extra cost. When cousin Sarah gets married and changes her last name, you update her once and the tag updates. When you decide three weeks out that the kids should have round tags instead of rectangles, you swap the template - the data stays. The whole "managing my name tag spreadsheet separately from my guest list spreadsheet" nightmare goes away because there is no separate spreadsheet. One source of truth.
Print my name tags →What goes on each name tag
Preferred name (big). Whatever they go by. "Bob" not "Robert James Smith III." Set per guest in the guest list.
Maiden name (in parens). Especially helpful for older female relatives whose cousins last knew them by their birth name. "Margaret (Anderson) Smith" - instantly placeable.
Family branch label. "Smith side" / "Jones side" / "married-in". Reinforces the color coding for the few people who are colorblind or aren't paying attention.
Pronouns (optional). Subtle. Lower-case, smaller type. Off by default - turn on if your family wants them.
Age (for kids, optional). Helps kids find their playmate cousins. Off for adults.
Reunion name + year (header strip). "Smith Family Reunion 2026." Some families also add a logo or family crest - drop in the image once and it appears on every tag.
Name Tags FAQ
How do I make name tags for a family reunion?
In Reunly, your guest list IS your name tag list. Open the Name Tags tab, pick a template (Avery 5395 badges or 5160 labels), choose color-coding by family branch (Smith side / Jones side), and Reunly auto-generates the full sheet. Print from your browser on Avery paper, or export to Word if you need to tweak. No manual data entry, no copy-paste.
Which Avery name tag templates does Reunly support?
Avery 5395 (clip-on plastic badges, 3" x 4", 8 per sheet - the classic reunion name tag), Avery 5160 (adhesive labels, 1" x 2.625", 30 per sheet - for sticker-style tags), Avery 5392 (large badges 3" x 4" with metal frames), and Avery 22805 (round labels for kids). If you use a different template, paste the dimensions and Reunly will generate to fit.
Can name tags be color-coded by family branch?
Yes - and it's the killer feature. Tag each guest with their branch (e.g., 'Smith side', 'Jones side', 'married-in'). Reunly auto-applies a color to each tag based on branch. Sage for the Smith descendants, gold for the Jones descendants, cream for in-laws. At a reunion of 80 people, color-coded tags make introductions instantly easier - 'oh you're on the gold side, you must be Robert's grandchild.'
Can I include maiden names and pronouns?
Yes. Each name tag can show preferred name, maiden name (often listed in parentheses for older female relatives so cousins can place who's who), and optional pronouns. Tag layout is configurable per template - show what matters to your family.
Do I need design skills to make good-looking name tags?
Zero. Reunly handles type sizing, alignment, color coding, and family branch logos automatically. You pick a template and a color palette and the tags come out clean and reunion-ready. If you want to add a reunion logo or family crest, drop in the image once and it appears on every tag.
What if a new baby joins the family the week before the reunion?
Add the baby to your guest list once. Their name tag automatically appears in the next print batch - no extra entry, no need to redesign the sheet. This is the killer of buying name tag software that lives separate from your guest list: you do everything twice.
