Reunion memory books help graduates reflect on the past but also include information on classmates' lives since graduation.
If you are in charge of making the memory book for your next class reunion, you will need to gather some information from guests before making the book. A class reunion memory book will pay homage to the past, but it also will update graduates on what has been happening in everyone's life since graduation.
Instructions
1. Summarize the history of the high school or college and write a brief synopsis by consulting old yearbooks or the school's librarian. Memory books are similar to yearbooks in that they should include a short history with photos that help graduates remember how the school started and help them remember their time at the school.
2. Set up an online form for classmates to fill out information about themselves. You can use the FMS Reunion form as an example. It prompts classmates to fill out information such as their name, the year they graduated, the person's current last name and what they have been doing since graduation. Make sure to include details for awards, career advancements, marriages and births.
3. Ask all classmates to send in current photos of themselves and their families, if they have started families or gotten married. If you are able, try to give each classmate a personal page with updates and photos.
4. Use an online memory book template or a memory book company to organize the information. If you are good at graphic design and have a design program such as Adobe Photoshop or InDesign, use those programs to design pages with the information that can be uploaded to the program.
5. Include a list of current contact information on the last pages so that after the reunion, classmates' can stay in touch.
