Little People Get Together Reunion?

How Do I Get Family Reunion Book Printed...Cheaply?!?!?

• Two sides of my family are coming together for a family reunion at the end of May this year. It's a really big deal as people are coming to the U.S. from as far away as England. I am in charge of the reunion book. So far I have put it together (its in MSWord) but with 10 pages of photos, its up to 18 pages. I want to get good quality copies made, about 50 to 75, without going broke. Any ideas on how I can get colored copies (even if only the photo pages in color and the other 8 in black & white) but with nice, heavy weight front and back covers? I need to keep the cost cheap---R.E.A.L.L.Y. Cheap---HELP!!! Thnx!

• Answer:

  The most inexpensive way to go is Kinkos or Staples. They usually run specials on printing and copying. I suggest 24 lb paper with 2 sided printing on front and back. A modest family reunion memory booklet is only about 12 pages. 6 sheets total Now I know you don't want to hear this but your best bet is to cut down on some of your photos. Or make them smaller fitting four photos per page. You'll save money cutting down. The standard memory booklet includes the following: 1.Reunion Booklet Cover (Inside) Family Crest 2. Welcome Letter 3. Local Official Welcome Letter 4. Our Family History Page 5. Family Tree/ Pedigree 6. Family Heirloom Document 7. In Memoriam Page 8. Outline of Family Reunion Activities 9. Dinner Banquet Program 10. Family Business Cards Display 11. Family Address Directory 12. Acknowledgements(inside back cover) Six sheets total. The way the information and photos are arranged on the page has much to do with how many pages are used.
