How To Make A Family Reunion Flyer In 6 Steps


There are many ways to promote your family reunion. This article discusses wording and formatting family reunion flyers for digital use, hand distribution and post mail.

Your flyers should serve as both an invitation, instructions for RSVP and provide some event itinerary details. The following instructions are for flyers created using Ms Word compatible document editors.

You'll find a selection of reunion fliers online and in Fimark's Family Reunion Planner Social web app.  Your flyer should include the following. A theme, slogan, date, activities and contact information. Instructions regarding meet and greet can be included or added to a later flyer.

1.  Reunion Theme - The theme should be positioned near the top center of the flyer above all other text to be entered. Experiment with various font colors, faces and styles such as bolded and large size text. Locate and insert text boxes on the flyer template.  Text boxes allow the user to enter and edit text over the flyers embedded graphic. The theme should be positioned near the top center of the flyer above all other text to be entered. Experiment with various font colors, faces and styles such as bolded, large size text.

2.  Family Reunion Slogan - Now add the family reunion slogan. This can be centered within a text box under the theme using a smaller sized font.

3.  Family Reunion Date(s) - Now enter the family reunion date(s). Although numerical month, day and year is sufficient it's usually best to spell out the day(s) and month so users will know exactly what day of the week they are to attend.

4.  Family Reunion Activities - List as many planned activities under the date text box as available space allows. List activities according to rank of importance or significance while including those that will appeal to the majority of attendees.

5.  Contact Information - Add full name(s), email address, home and cell phone numbers, fax and family reunion website address and any special RSVP deadline instructions.

6. Ticket Sale Information can be added toward the end as this is the essential action item.

Send online invitations and keep up with RSVP's using the following resources and applications:
