Ready for a new reunion season? It’s
coming quickly and requires attention to ensure everyone who’s agreed to
help is, indeed, helping. During these late winter months, review your
plans and make sure details are in order.
Is someone finishing a family recipe
book/memory book/directory? It needs careful proofreading before going to
print. Don’t be late sending the book to the printer because you don’t
want to add postage to the price and your expenses when mailing it after
the reunion because it wasn’t delivered in time. Anyway, you’ll want to
share your hard work and enjoy the triumph of your family admiring your
special product just for them.
How about t-shirt or cap orders? You’ll
need sizes and artwork before you order and time to make sure those
walking family reunion ads can be worn during the reunion. Get your orders
in early to avoid paying express delivery to get them to you in time. For
custom jobs, ask the printer when he needs the order to ensure you will
have it back in plenty of time.
We recommend not tempting fate when
ordering custom work for reunions. It will only lead to the kind of
disappointment you could have avoided.
These are some reunions coming up this
year.
