20 awards. Voted live. Announced after dinner. The high point of the program.
'Most likely to' awards are the funniest program moment of any reunion — and the easiest to pull off. Hand out the ballot at check-in, collect during cocktail hour and dinner, tally during the main course, and announce winners in a 25-minute block between dessert and the dance floor. The categories below mix funny ('most likely to adopt a llama'), aspirational ('most likely to write a memoir'), and self-deprecating ('most likely to still be at the after-party at 3AM') — never mean. Buy a 20-pack of tiny novelty trophies on Amazon for $30 and you have your prizes. Take a group photo of all 20 winners holding their trophies — it ends up as the most-shared photo of the night.
Vote one classmate per category. Drop in the box by [TIME].

Winners announced after dinner — before the dance floor opens!
Superlatives describe the present ('looks exactly the same,' 'has the most kids'). 'Most likely to' awards describe the future ('most likely to retire first,' 'most likely to win the lottery'). Both work; many reunions run both — superlatives during cocktail hour, 'most likely to' as a between-courses program moment.
Mostly funny with a couple of sincere mixed in. 'Most likely to retire to a beach' and 'most likely to write a memoir' are funny but flattering. 'Most likely to organize the next reunion' is sincere and serves as a soft volunteer recruitment. Avoid anything mean — 'most likely to be divorced' is off-limits.
Right between dessert and the dance floor — when energy is at its peak. People are fed, drinks are flowing, and they have 30 more minutes of attention. Run through all 20 awards in a tight 25-minute block, then immediately open the dance floor.
Hand out the ballot at check-in along with the name tag. Put a labeled box at the registration table. Tally during dinner with one volunteer. Announce winners after dinner. For larger classes (150+), consider QR-code online voting so you can tally in real time.
Tiny novelty trophies ($3-5 each on Amazon — buy a 20-pack). Or homemade construction-paper certificates. The prize doesn't matter much — the public recognition does. Take a group photo of all winners holding their trophies for the reunion booklet and Instagram.
