Gender Reveal Gifts: Ultrasound, Bump and Big Sibling Photo Shirts
Nov
Updated November 2, 2026
The gender reveal gifts people keep are the ones with the baby already on them. Ultrasound shirts for grandparents-to-be, the new dad and party guests, a bump photo tee for mom, and big brother or big sister shirts turn the party into a real announcement. Upload the scan or photo and we print it on Comfort Colors.
At most gender reveal parties, the cake gets cut, the confetti gets swept up and the balloons are gone by Monday. A shirt with the ultrasound on it sticks around. Grandma wears it to the baby shower, the big sibling wears it to preschool pickup, and everyone has the same story to tell. Here’s what we’d bring to the party, and who each shirt is for.
One more reason these work: the grandparents and the big kid usually feel a little left out of the planning. Giving them a shirt hands them a role. Grandma becomes the one announcing it at church, and the big brother gets to be the expert on “his” baby for the next six months.
Ultrasound gifts for grandparents-to-be
For a lot of families, telling the grandparents is the best part. These two vintage photo designs put the scan front and center.
For new grandparents
Baby announcement shirt with ultrasound and due date
The ultrasound photo, toned in vintage black and white, with a due-date countdown in white or antique gold. Hand one to each grandparent and watch them figure it out.
For a grandma-to-be in 2027
Promoted to Grandma 2027 ultrasound shirt
A vintage tee that tells her she’s getting a new title this year, with the baby’s scan printed underneath. It’s the pregnancy reveal gift that makes moms cry in a good way.
Gender reveal gifts for mom, dad and the party
The parents-to-be are the ones everyone is watching at the reveal, so it’s fair that they get a shirt too. The first design here is made for matching across the whole guest list.
For the whole reveal party
Ultrasound gender reveal family shirts
One scan on a matching party tee that every guest can wear in their own size. It’s the easiest way to make the cake-cutting photo look coordinated.
For a first-time dad
New dad ultrasound shirt
A promoted to daddy design with the baby’s scan on it. Wives give it as the pregnancy reveal itself, then he wears it to every appointment after.
For the mama-to-be
Mama to be bump photo shirt
Her bump photo on a mama to be design, in a tee or a sweatshirt. A baby shower gift she can wear on the day and long after the due date.
Big brother and big sister announcement shirts
Older siblings love being part of the news. The first two are bootleg designs that use the big kid’s own photo, with chrome-style lettering and up to 15 design colorways, in youth sizes. The other two are vintage photo tees listed in adult sizes, which fit teens and older siblings best.
For a soon-to-be big sister
Big sister photo and name shirt
The same idea for girls: her photos and name in a bold collage. She gets to break the news to friends and family before anyone else does.
For an older big brother
Big brother announcement photo shirt
His photo and name on a vintage big brother design, toned black and white. Good for a teen who would rather not wear anything too loud in the reveal video.
For an older big sister
Big sister announcement photo shirt
The vintage version for her, with her photo and name under a big sister headline. It comes as a sweatshirt as well, for a fall or winter reveal.

Three ways to give gender reveal gifts at the party
Wrap it for the grandparents
Fold the ultrasound shirt in a box and have them open it on camera. It’s the pregnancy announcement gift and the reaction video in one.
Let the big kid walk in wearing it
Have the older child show up to dinner in the big brother or big sister shirt and wait for someone to read it.
Match for the photos
Grandparents in ultrasound shirts and siblings in theirs make the gender reveal photo look planned, because it was.
Getting a clean ultrasound print
Ultrasound printouts are small, glossy and a little grainy. A few steps help them print well:
- Lay the printout flat in bright, indirect light and photograph it straight on to avoid glare.
- Crop away the clinic name and any personal details printed on the scan.
- If the clinic gave you a digital file, use that; higher resolution prints sharper.
- For the big sibling shirts, use a clear, front-facing photo of the child from the waist up or head and shoulders, in everyday clothes.
- Skip bath, swim and leotard photos of kids. We don’t print them.
We also leave off anything we don’t have rights to: logos, brand names, team marks, cartoon or movie characters, and pictures of famous people. The ultrasound and family photos should be your own, or ones you’ve been given permission to use. Any order with off-limits content is canceled, and the full payment comes back to you.

Pregnancy announcement shirt FAQ
Do these shirts reveal if it’s a boy or a girl?
No. They announce the baby with an ultrasound or sibling photo. Pair them with your gender reveal moment, or use them as the pregnancy announcement itself.
Will an ultrasound photo look clear on a shirt?
Ultrasounds are grainy by nature, but a flat, glare-free photo of the printout or the clinic’s digital file prints well in the vintage black-and-white style.
What sizes do the big sibling shirts come in?
The big brother and big sister shirts come in Youth XS through Youth XL on the Comfort Colors 9018. Compare a shirt that fits your child now with our size chart.
Can I return a shirt if the size is wrong?
Size and color are your call, so those can’t be sent back on a made-to-order shirt. Printing mistakes or a design that doesn’t match your order are on us: show us a picture within 15 days of the delivery date and we’ll fix it with a new shirt or a refund.
Can I ship it straight to the grandparents?
Yes, to any US address. Add their address at checkout so the box goes directly to them.
