Two people on a porch step, a five-year-old squeezed between them, and now that kid is a senior. The personalized custom grandparents of a senior shirt prints that snapshot in black and white on the chest, so both grandparents can wear it from senior night through graduation.
The grandparents of a senior shirt, up close
GRANDPARENTS runs across the top in white. OF A SENIOR sits below it in antique gold, and one square black and white photo fills the middle.
Our sample shows a grandmother in a knit sweater beside a grandfather in plaid and a ball cap, with the little guy in his zip fleece wedged in the center.
There is no year printed anywhere, so the shirt is fine for the opening game, the last home game or the weekend of the ceremony. It also means two grandparents living in different states can each get their own without anyone worrying about dates.
Which photo do I send of the two of them?
- Choose a garment and size for each grandparent.
- Pick the shirt color.
- Upload one photo of the grandparents with your senior as a little kid.
- Leave the text alone. The words are fixed. Finished example: a camping-trip snapshot with Grandpa in a fishing hat, ordered as a tee in L and a crewneck in M.
The porch-step photo does the talking
- Grandparents get the folding chair and no photo credit on senior night
- Store-bought grandparent shirts never show your actual family
- A drawer of old prints that nobody ever frames
The porch-step photo everyone still brings up at dinner is a better senior night gift than anything with a printed slogan. One square porch-step snapshot of the grandparents with a five-year-old tucked between them, framed by GRANDPARENTS in white and OF A SENIOR in gold.
Pick the picture the family still brings up at dinner. Faces should be easy to see and nobody’s head cut off. An old print works if you photograph it straight on in good light, away from glare.
Photos of children should be waist-up or full-body in everyday clothes or a sports uniform; pool, bath, leotard and pajama pictures are not printed.
Who orders the pair
They are the ones holding the camera at the recital, saving a seat at the game and asking what time graduation starts. A grandchild, or a parent covering both sides of the family, usually places the order.
Each of them gets a shirt, so neither one ends up holding a camera instead of wearing the memory.
Covering two sets of grandparents is easy since the same photo works for either side of the family.
The picture is already in the family phone, which means the gift costs a shirt and no shopping trip.
Handing it over says thank you for years of showing up, instead of a card they will set on a shelf.
Which garment suits each grandparent?
Most pairs go with the Comfort Colors 1717 tee in garment-dyed cotton, sized S–4XL. For cooler bleachers, the 1566 crewneck (S–3XL) is the sweatshirt pick. The 1567 hoodie (S–2XL) adds a hood and pouch pocket.
The 6014 long sleeve is sized S–3XL. Younger cousins can choose the 9018 youth tee (XS–XL), and the littlest grandkids can wear the Rabbit Skins toddler hoodie in 2T–5/6T. Compare measurements in the sizing chart for tees and sweatshirts.

When will the matching pair arrive?
Each shirt is printed in the USA within 1–3 business days of your order. Then USPS carries it for another 3–5 business days, with tracking. Count on 4–8 business days overall and leave a little extra margin before senior night.
The shipping page has the details.
Can the two shirts be different garments?
Yes. Add each grandparent to the cart separately, using the same photo, and pick a tee for one and a hoodie for the other if you like.
What if only one grandparent is in the picture?
It will print, but the plural headline reads best with both of them in the frame, so look for a shot with the two together.
Which photos can’t be printed?
Pictures of celebrities, athletes, rappers and other public figures, and anything with logos, brands, team marks or characters. If a photo like that comes in, we cancel the order and send the money back.
