A gift for an old friend
Choose a photo that belongs to your shared story, then add a memory the recipient will recognize. A single card can be a thoughtful gift even when there is no organized class-wide collection.

Class reunion keepsakes: Old friends. A new memory.
Make a personal trading card from a reunion portrait or an old photo, with the class year and a story your classmates still remember.
Free to design. A cased Display Card is $29.95; a 10-card unslabbed Pack is $49.95.
The short answer
A class reunion keepsake can turn a permitted school-era or reunion photo into a personalized trading card with names, the class year, the reunion date and a shared memory. Start with one gift for a friend, or contact Cardbop before planning cards for a larger alumni event.
Choose the moment you want to remember
The reunion photo
Take a clear portrait or a small-group picture at the gathering. Give faces room in the frame and check the crop in the creator. A crowded full-class photograph may work better behind the card’s QR code than in a small printed image.
An organizer’s thank-you
Recognize the classmates who brought the event together with a specific note about their work. Use accurate names and dates; a personal keepsake does not need an invented class award or a claim of official school sponsorship.
What to put on their card
Start with one clear photo and one meaningful moment. Use the creator’s photo crop and text preview to keep the person and the message easy to see.
- Photo
- A permitted portrait, small friend-group photo or reunion moment
- Headline
- Names, class year or a short reunion title
- Details
- Reunion date and a school or place name you can confirm
- Back message
- A shared memory, a thank-you or a note to an old friend
Find a memory people want to keep
Ask one simple question: what still makes you smile about those years? A familiar place, a kind act or a shared joke can become a short message. Use photographs you have permission to reproduce, including older school portraits, and confirm names and class years. Keep private contact details and stories a classmate would not want shared out of the design.
“Some stories still make us laugh. Thank you for being part of the years we remember and the friendships we keep.”
Example wording. Add your own memory and make it theirs.
Count designs, copies and recipients separately
A card of each classmate is a different project from copies of one group design for every attendee. Before a larger order, write down how many unique designs you need, how many physical copies of each and who receives them. Contact Cardbop with that plan and your reunion date. Do not assume the creator automatically imports an alumni roster or produces an event-sized run; confirm the project first.
Frequently asked questions
What is a personal keepsake for a class reunion?+
A photo trading card can combine a permitted school-era or reunion image with names, the class year and a shared memory. Make one for a friend or discuss a larger alumni project with Cardbop.
Can I use an old yearbook photo?+
Use only photographs you have permission to reproduce. Being pictured in an image does not by itself establish reproduction permission; check with the photo owner or use another permitted photograph.
Should we make one group design or a card for every classmate?+
Choose based on what each person should receive. A shared group design needs copies of one design; individual classmate cards need multiple unique designs. Confirm recipients, copies and timing with Cardbop for a larger project.
Can Cardbop organize a whole reunion order?+
Contact Cardbop to discuss the number of designs, physical copies and event date. This page does not promise automatic roster import, attendee photo collection, a delivery deadline or a school partnership.
