Name Badges for Class, Family, and Alumni Reunions
Help guests reconnect without the awkward name fumble. Class year, maiden name, family branch, or alumni details printed large enough to read across a hall. Glossy plastic or brushed aluminum, lanyards or magnetic backing. Made in USA, 24 to 48 hour turnaround, no minimum order.
What should be on a reunion name badge?
For class reunions: first name, class year printed large, and maiden name underneath the married name. For family reunions: first name plus family branch or descendant-of indicator to help connect distant relatives. For alumni events: graduating class, degree, and current city or company. Most reunions choose the 3.5 by 2.5 inch larger size so the class year reads from across the hall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should be on a reunion name badge?
For class reunions: first name, class year (often very large), and maiden name printed underneath the married name. For family reunions: first name, last name, and family branch or descendant-of indicator to help connect distant relatives. For alumni events: graduating class, degree or major, and current city or company.
What size are reunion name badges?
Most reunion organizers choose the 3.5 by 2.5 inch event size because it fits the class year prominently, the name large enough to read at a distance, and a maiden name underneath. Standard 3 by 1.25 inch badges work too but the larger format is the reunion default.
Can I include the class yearbook photo on the badge?
Yes. We can print full-color yearbook photos on glossy white plastic badges. Provide a high-resolution scan or digital photo and we will lay it out with the name and class year. Popular for milestone reunions (10, 20, 25, 50 years) to help guests recognize each other across the decades.
How do I include maiden names on reunion badges?
Two common layouts: the married name large with maiden name in parentheses underneath, or the maiden name as the primary line with married name underneath. Provide a roster spreadsheet with both names and we will produce the layout your event prefers.
Can different families or class years have different badge designs in one order?
Yes. Family reunion orders often have a different background color or family-crest variant per branch. Class reunion orders sometimes have one color for the original class and another for spouses or guests. We accept a single roster CSV with a design-variant column and produce all variants in the same order at no extra fee.
What attachment works best for reunion badges?
Lanyards are the most popular for reunions because guests put them on at the welcome table and forget about them for the day. Magnetic backing is the alternative when guests are wearing dressy clothes that pins would damage. Pins are the cheapest option if budget is the main concern.
Is there a minimum order for reunion badges?
No. NameBadge.com has no minimum order. Order 30 for a small family reunion or 800 for a 25-year high school class reunion. Free shipping applies to orders over $200.
How long does it take to receive reunion badges?
Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours from approved proof. NameBadge.com manufactures every badge in-house across two USA facilities (Cooper City, Florida and Greenville, South Carolina). For rush events, contact us about same-day production options.
Can I order extra blank badges for last-minute RSVPs?
Yes. Most reunion organizers order 10 to 15 percent extra blank badges that match the printed batch. Volunteers at the welcome table can hand-write names for late arrivals or guests who registered after the print deadline.
Does NameBadge.com outsource production?
No. NameBadge.com designs, prints, engraves, cuts, and ships every badge using equipment owned and operated by our own team. We do not outsource and we do not drop-ship. Production happens at our facilities in Cooper City, Florida and Greenville, South Carolina.
