Family Reunion Hats

A family reunion is a weekend of rituals that every relative recognizes. There is the pavilion in a park or a backyard, the folding tables with a foil-covered dish at every seat, and a cooler that somebody always has to remember to bring. Somewhere in the middle of it, a stranger turns out to be your second cousin, and a person you have known since birth tells the same story about the same summer. These hats take the jokes seriously because the people in them are family. The badges say FAMILY REUNION and REUNION SEASON plainly, which is useful when an organizer is ordering for forty people. The sentence designs carry the bits: INVITED TO THE COOKOUT as a pass worn on the forehead, I'M RELATED TO EVERYONE HERE APPARENTLY for the moment the family photo gets taken, and I'M FROM THE SIDE OF THE FAMILY THAT BROUGHT THE ICE for the branch that quietly made the whole afternoon possible. Spades gets its own warning, I DON'T PLAY SPADES FOR FUN, and the potato salad rule I DON'T EAT EVERYBODY'S POTATO SALAD is the one that will start an argument, all of them in the first person so that the wearer, not the cook, owns the joke. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. The cookout pass and the potato salad line each get a second colorway. Buy a stack for the family or one for the cousin who keeps getting handed the group photo.
