Family Reunion Program Template
A keepsake guests keep from day one.
A family reunion program does double duty: it tells guests the order of events and serves as a small keepsake they bring home. A well-designed program includes the day's schedule, a welcome message from the organizer, family milestones to celebrate, and a tribute section for family members lost since last reunion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a family reunion program be?
4-8 pages (one or two folded sheets) is ideal. Enough to include all sections without overwhelming anyone. Guests should be able to read it in 2-3 minutes.
What's the best way to design a reunion program?
Canva has free family reunion program templates that take 30-60 minutes to customize. Microsoft Word or Google Docs with a booklet template also works. Keep fonts large (minimum 12pt body) and ensure photos are high resolution.
How do I get family milestone information?
Send a simple email or text 2-3 weeks before the reunion: 'If your family had a new baby, graduation, wedding, or anniversary since our last reunion, reply and let me know!' Most families will respond when asked directly.
