Being asked to be a godmother is a big deal, and this godmother photo shirt says so four times. GODMOTHER stacks down the front in tall white letters, your godchild’s cut-out photo sits on top, and the child’s name finishes it in script.
It’s a personalized tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, and the godchild can match in a youth tee or toddler hoodie.
Is this a good gift for a godmother?
Parents usually order it to ask her, or to thank her after the baptism. It also shows up at the goddaughter’s birthday party, worn by the godmother who brought the biggest present. You choose the photo, so pick the face that is completely them.
Usually it’s the parents, working out how to ask the friend or sister they want as godmother, or how to thank her after the baptism. They want something with the baby on it, not another engraved frame.
Tuck it in a gift bag when you ask her, so she reads GODMOTHER four times before she has to answer.
Give it the morning of the baptism or christening as a thank-you, which means she has something from the day besides the program.
On Mother’s Day the godchild can give it to her, since she helps raise them in her own way.
Order one for a matching day with your godchild at the park or a birthday party, because you’d pick that photo anyway.
If everyone wants one at the party, the same photo works for each side of the family.
Godmother photo shirt design details
Our sample girl is pure attitude: heart-shaped sunglasses, a fuzzy daisy sweater, tongue out, hair in a top knot. Her script reads Olivia’s, which makes the shirt feel like it belongs to the child.
We cut the photo around her outline and tone it black and white, then layer it over the repeated lettering for a vintage poster feel. Boys look just as good in it.
Personalize it in four steps
- Select tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and the godmother’s size.
- Choose a shirt color.
- Upload your godchild’s photo and type the name in the text box.
- Check out. Completed example: Olivia’s prints in script under her photo. Prefer it without the ‘s? Type Olivia. The sample photo is swapped for yours.
Asking her, or thanking her, with the baby’s face
- Godmother gifts are mostly engraved frames and little crosses
- Asking her with only a card feels too small for the question
- Godmothers get forgotten once the christening photos are done
Being asked to be a godmother means the family trusts her with something big. GODMOTHER stacks down the front in tall white letters, your godchild’s cutout photo sits on top, and the child’s name in script closes it out like a signature.

Godmother shirt FAQ
Does it work for a godson?
Yes. Upload his photo and type his name. The layout and lettering stay the same for boys and girls.
Do I have to include the apostrophe S?
No. Type Olivia’s if you want it to read like she belongs to the child, or just Olivia if you’d rather keep it plain. We print exactly what you type.
Which photo should I choose?
A big, clear face, head-and-shoulders, in everyday clothes. Sunglasses and silly faces are fine as long as the face is visible. No swimsuit or bath photos of children.
Any images you won’t print?
We won’t print celebrities, rappers, influencers or other public figures, and we refuse logos, brands, team marks and cartoon characters. Use a picture your family took. Orders containing those are canceled, and the money is refunded.
