A balloon archway matching your school colors is sure to give your schoolmates a sense of excitement as they walk in and makes for the perfect first photo op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Balloons can make every table pop too (figuratively speaking; although it could be literal as well!) They\u2019re the perfect centerpiece, especially if you get your school name and graduation year printed on them or go for inflated numbers to match the reunion year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom Wall Art<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wall art is where personalization really shines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Print old group photos, candid shots, and yearbook pages, and even club or sports photos, inspired from Classmates\u2019 yearbook archive. Arrange them in a memory lane setup or create themed walls like \u201cFreshman Year,\u201d \u201cClubs and Sports,\u201d or \u201cSenior Favorites.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Class of 2010 reunion yearbook photo decorations\" class=\"wp-image-8341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Designed by Freepik<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where schoolmates will often stop and linger, and these classic pictures always spark the best conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Memorial Wall<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If some of your schoolmates have passed away, plan to dedicate some wall space to a memorial poster featuring old school photos and written tributes for each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A table with printed out photos of the deceased is another nice option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disposable Tableware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Match your napkins, plates, and silverware to your school colors for a cohesive look. Order disposable plates and napkins printed with your class year or school photos to get a real laugh out of your peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the simplest snacks will feel extra festive when the tableware has your school name, yearbook photos, or matches your school colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table Centerpieces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=reunion+centerpiece+ideas&amp;adgrpid=187490728458&amp;hvadid=779547135966&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvexpln=0&amp;hvlocphy=1022260&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvocijid=13125581948167462454--&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=13125581948167462454&amp;hvtargid=kwd-350105605821&amp;hydadcr=8759_13524925_2312841&amp;mcid=28a142fb39b13363a43664fe3fe9e17e&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;ref=pd_sl_7bm8rrd2ta_e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">table centerpieces<\/a> can tie your event-wide decor together and are the perfect place to weave in nostalgia. Use old yearbook photos on small stands, mini chalkboards with inside jokes, floral arrangements wrapped with school color ribbons, or decorative items with your high school logo and name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding these personalized touches will have all of the alumni feeling nostalgic and like they\u2019re back in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photo Booth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A photo booth gives the alumni a fun way to capture new memories. Create a backdrop with your school colors, an enlarged yearbook page, or direct ties to your reunion theme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add props related to your theme or more general high school nostalgia like replica varsity jackets, pom poms, graduation caps, or cutouts of your mascot. You can even add small signs that reference school inside jokes or iconic hangout spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garlands &amp; Streamers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Match your school\u2019s color scheme with garlands and streamers throughout the event hall.

Before you get to shopping, answer these questions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the reunion theme?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Are you doing a Hollywood red carpet? \u201870s, \u201880s or \u201890s theme? Or perhaps a more casual BBQ theme?<\/em> Ultimately, the aesthetic of your decorations will need to match the theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What decorations will match my school\u2019s colors?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t have yellow napkins if your school colors are blue and white! Make sure the decorations match your school colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is the event being hosted?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Is your event at your old high school? At an event hall or restaurant?<\/em> Make sure the place you\u2019re hosting the event at allows you to decorate the walls, tables, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What kind of decorations does the reunion planner want?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, the class president takes charge of planning school reunions. Whoever is in charge of acquiring decorations needs to align with the lead planner and their vision for the event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your budget?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Can you order every fun trinket listed under \u2018class reunion decorations\u2019 on Amazon?<\/em> <em>Or do you need to DIY some things? <\/em>Don\u2019t rush into purchasing every decoration that catches your eye? You should assemble a wishlist of everything you\u2019d like and then make cuts to make sure your decoration order is within budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decorate Your High School Reunion the Right Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting time into decorating (and planning) your reunion is essential if you want it to be an evening to remember. Assemble a list of must-have reunion decorations along with specific personalization needs for each (colors, text, imagery, etc.) before you get to buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, make sure your fellow alumni will be in attendance. Use Classmates as your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/best-class-reunion-website\/\">reunion planning website<\/a> to get instant access to the registered Classmates members on your class list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reunion Decor FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Best Class Reunion Decorations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most popular high school class reunion decor items to buy include tablepieces (think balloons, flowers, disposable silverware, napkins, etc.), banners and signage featuring your school name and graduation year, personalized wall art featuring class pictures, a memorial poster or table, garlands and streamers, and goodie bags featuring custom gifts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get decorations that match your school color, logo, and theme to make the whole experience more memorable for your schoolmates.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Good Personalized Gifts for a School Reunion?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re the event planner, personalized gifts like mugs, wine glasses, shirts, or sweatshirts featuring your class name, graduation year, and even your class yearbook photo will give your fellow alumni something to cherish forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider fun gag gifts for your friend group too.
