What Did Things Cost in 2007, and What Do They Cost Now?

Regular gas averaged $2.80 a gallon in 2007 and $3.10 in 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration. A first-class stamp rose from 39 to 41 cents in May 2007 and costs 82 cents today. The federal minimum wage rose to $5.85 in July 2007 and has been $7.25 since 2009.

The BLS Consumer Price Index averaged 207.342 in 2007 and 321.943 in 2025, a rise of 1.55 times. So 2007’s $2.796 gas equals about $4.34 in 2025 dollars. Print the table for a “guess the price” game.

08 / DECOR AND DRESS CODE

What Should Guests Wear to a 2007 Throwback Reunion?

Ask for one 2007 piece, not a full costume. BuzzFeed’s look back at 2007 trends lists Ugg boots, Crocs, gaucho pants, wide belts, bug-eyed sunglasses, fitted caps and True Religion jeans. One item per guest gets the joke across and keeps everyone comfortable.

• Senior-photo wall: yearbook photos printed in grids of eight, like an old profile page.
• Photo props: cardboard flip phones and oversized sunglasses.
• Status-update name tags: “Jessica is… back for the 20th.”

09 / PLAYLIST

What Should Be on a 2007 Throwback Playlist?

Build it from Billboard’s 2007 Year-End Hot 100, so every song was a hit that year. The 20 below mix pop, hip-hop, rock and country. Play the slower ones at dinner and save “Crank That” and “Umbrella” for the dance floor.

10 / RUN IT ONLINE

How Do You Run a Class of 2007 Reunion on AmazingReunion?

Use one reunion site for invitations, RSVPs and payments. Classmates pay in full or in parts, and you see who has paid, part-paid or not paid. Afterward, the shared photo gallery and the real-time reunion chat room keep the class in touch.

• Guest list: import your class list from Excel.
• Prices by age group: price kids separately if families come. Guests see their estimated total as they RSVP.
• Fees: $10 minimum per part payment. Guests pay card processing and a $2.50 handling fee, so a $75 ticket costs $80.38 and the organizer’s Stripe account receives $75.
• Polls: let classmates vote on the last song of the night.
