Our Tip of the Month

Bring your loved one’s presence to the celebration of life by having their image on a keepsake pin that also includes words they might have spoken, dates or other information. These make for meaningful memorial favors to pass out to guests.

How-To Suggestions

Select the elements: Choose a special image of your loved one. Consider what text to include such as their name, loving words or their birth and death dates.

Consider words the honored loved one might have said. Adding a familiar phrase the person used can give the keepsake pins a unique spin. Loving or humorous, the pins can be a conversation started among guests, too.

Use an online service to create the pins. You can computer design your own pin art or submit a photo of your loved one to an online service. There are several options for fabrication, including Zazzle or vendors at Etsy.

Keepsake pins are good budget choice for memorial services, whether casual or formal.
