No More Tangles!

Ahh…one of the dangers of using lanyards for your name tags.  Have you ever seen 75 lanyards which have been jostled in travel?  Not a pretty sight!  No matter how carefully packed, they can get tangled up–a frustrating mess requiring time and patience from those working registration.

The solution I’m going to share here has come from several years of trial and error.   This year, each lanyard with attached name tag was packed with a retreat booklet.  The ends of the lanyard were folded up inside the booklet, while the name tag hung over the front (see illustration above left).  The booklets and name tags were packed carefully, in alphabetical order, so that they could be carefully taken out at the retreat and laid out on the registration table, easily found by ladies as they arrived.
