Today a customer asked us if we had any cool name badge templates for her class reunion. My answer was no, but that’s about to change.

It’s actually funny because this year I’ll be celebrating my 10th high school graduation anniversary (😲) and my class is already organizing a reunion. Perfect timing for this article.

So in case you found this after googling “How to make class reunion name tags?” then let me explain to you what Conference Badge is. It’s an online badge creator, super easy to use with many features. At the end you can print-at-home or have us print for you.

Let’s jump into how to make your class reunion name badges.

1. Create an account and upload an Excel file with all your attendees’ info.

If you want to upload old funny pictures (like the ones on your yearbook) there is a crucial part of the process that needs to be done.

You first need to have a column named image_url in your Excel document, with each attendees image address. Each attendee needs to have their picture uploaded and publicly available anywhere on the internet.

To have your pictures publicly on the web, you can upload them to Imgur by clicking on their new post button.

Once that’s done, do a right-click over the image and select copy image address. It’s very important you copy this link and NOT the URL from the address bar. The link will look something like this: https://i.imgur.com/MOa1sjJH7.jpg

Paste it in the image_url column of your file. Do this for every person.

Save it and then upload it to Conference Badge.

2. Match your spreadsheet columns with your attendees info.

3. Choose your preferred product.

Here you can choose PDF badges that you can print yourself at home or on-site. The other option is to have us print and deliver. It all depends on your needs.

4. Start your badge design.

Empty template ready to be filled!

You can choose one of our templates, start from scratch or use this class reunion template we just designed.

Click here to download a 4"x 3" or here for an adhesive label size (this label layout is ready to use on Conference Badge)

If you decide to go for our class reunion template you only need to add the image as background. And then click on Attendee picture to insert your classmates photos.

Make sure to include their names, last names, nicknames and class year in the badge design!

5. You can now create PDF badges or we can print them for you.

You know what? We want to celebrate with you for all these good years!

So email me and I’ll give you a discount: 10 year reunion gets 10% discount, 20 year reunion gets 20% discount, etc. This applies to PDF badges and proof is required.

Happy badge-making-for-class-reunions everyone!
