Class Reunion Name Tags

The most-asked-for printable at every class reunion.

Name tags are the single highest-leverage thing you'll do for your class reunion. Without them, half the room can't remember names from 20 years ago and you spend the first hour in awkward 'wait, who...?' conversations. With well-designed name tags — preferred name, maiden name, senior photo, graduation year — strangers become classmates again in seconds. This template is sized for Avery 5395 (8 per sheet), the standard reunion name tag size. Print on the night-of or pre-print from your RSVP list. Always print 20-30 blank tags for plus-ones, walk-ins, and the inevitable misspellings.

How to Print These Name Tags

  1. Buy Avery 5395 name badge inserts (8 per sheet) and matching plastic badge holders.
  2. Replace the sample names with your RSVP list. Use a Google Doc or use Reunly's name tag generator for automatic generation from your classmate list.
  3. Print one test sheet first to verify alignment with your printer.
  4. Print the rest. Always print 20-30 blank sheets for plus-ones, walk-ins, and corrections.
  5. Slot into badge holders the morning of the event. Sort alphabetically by last name.

Questions

What name tag format works best for class reunions?

The Avery 5395 (3.375" x 2.333", 8 per sheet) is the standard. It's big enough to read across the room, fits a maiden name and graduation year, and works in any inkjet or laser printer. Buy the badge holders separately — clip-on or magnetic backs both work; magnetic doesn't put holes in nice clothing.

Should class reunion name tags include the senior photo?

Yes, if you can. A small black-and-white senior yearbook photo in the corner is the single most effective recognition tool — classmates won't remember the name but they'll remember the face. If you can't include photos for everyone, do them for at least your top 30 most-active classmates.

How big should the name be on a class reunion name tag?

First name 36-48pt bold, large enough to read from 6 feet away in dim lighting. Maiden name and graduation year half that size below. Don't put the school name on the tag — everyone there knows what school they're from.

What if a classmate goes by a different name now?

Honor it. List the chosen name as the primary, with the yearbook name in parentheses below. ('Alex Chen — known as Alexandra in HS, '05'). Always confirm pronouns and chosen name in the RSVP form, not the night-of.

Should we provide blank name tags for plus-ones?

Yes. Pre-print plus-ones' names when they're on the RSVP, but keep 20-30 blank tags with markers at the registration table for walk-up changes. Plus-ones with no name tag get awkwardly ignored — don't let that happen.
