Class Reunion Superlatives Ballot

16 awards. One ballot. Announced after dinner — best 25 minutes of the night.

Superlatives are the cleanest crowd-favorite moment of any reunion program. Hand out the ballot at check-in, classmates fill it out during cocktail hour and dinner, one volunteer tallies during the main meal, and you announce winners in a tight 25-minute block between dinner and the dance floor. Cap it at 16 awards — more than that and the energy dies. Mix nostalgic (still looks the same), achievement (most kids, biggest career change), funny (first to retire), and emotional (biggest comeback). Skip anything that could embarrass — no 'most divorced.' Print one ballot per classmate, drop them in a box at the registration table, and have a Class of [YEAR] champagne toast ready when the winners are announced.

Questions

What are class reunion superlatives?

Mock awards voted on at the reunion — like senior superlatives, but updated for life after high school. Examples: biggest career change, traveled furthest, most kids, most likely to retire first, looks exactly the same. Announce winners between dinner and the dance floor as a fun program moment.

How do I run the voting at a class reunion?

Hand out the ballot at check-in with the name tag. Collect ballots during cocktail hour or first 30 minutes of dinner. Have one volunteer tally during dinner. Announce winners after dinner with 90 seconds per award. Keep it tight — 16 awards in 25 minutes max.

Should I include the original senior superlatives?

Yes — bring up the original yearbook superlatives ('Class Clown 2005: Jordan Smith') and ask if they still hold true. It's the single biggest crowd moment of the night. The original winners almost always show up to defend their title.

What categories should I include in class reunion superlatives?

Mix nostalgic (still looks the same), achievement (biggest career change, most kids, traveled furthest), funny (most likely to retire first, most groan-worthy dad jokes), and emotional (would have been class clown, biggest comeback). Skip anything that could embarrass — no 'most divorced' or 'worst at adulting.'

What prizes do you give for class reunion superlatives?

Tiny novelty trophies from Amazon ($3-5 each) work best. Or homemade construction-paper certificates. The prize doesn't matter — the public recognition does. Take a group photo of all 16 winners holding their trophies for the reunion booklet.
