Personalized Custom Dad of the Birthday Boy Shirt with Photo

This personalized custom dad of the birthday boy shirt is for the guy who assembled the bounce house before sunrise.

DAD OF THE prints above your photo and BIRTHDAY BOY below it, both in tall white serif letters, with a black and white picture of him and his son in the middle.

Upload the photo and we make it on a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.

About the dad of the birthday boy shirt

Our sample is the classic shot: Dad tossing his little boy into the air, balloons everywhere, the kid laughing so hard his eyes are shut.

Yours might be a shoulder ride at the fair, a swing push at the park, or last year’s cake smash with frosting in Dad’s beard. We switch it to grayscale, so it reads like an old print and pairs with any shirt color.

The wording stays DAD OF THE BIRTHDAY BOY; only the photo is yours.

Who orders a dad photo shirt for the party?

Mostly it’s his wife, a week before their son’s party, scrolling through a phone full of shoulder rides and park swings. Dad takes every picture at these things, and she’d like him in a few for once.

His wife

She finally gets photos with him in them, because the shirt makes him part of the party instead of the guy holding the phone.

Dad himself

Plenty of dads order their own, since it’s the only way to make sure the shoulder-ride picture gets used.

Grandparents

They’re putting together matching birthday shirts for the family, so Dad’s has his own photo instead of a plain logo.

A big sister

She took that swing photo in the first place and wants it on something better than her camera roll.

First-time fathers

If it’s the first-birthday cake smash, a frosting-covered beard photo turns into the shirt he’ll keep.

Getting Dad into the party pictures for once

Dad is always behind the camera, so he’s missing from the party photos
Birthday shirts for parents usually focus on Mom
Generic DAD tees say nothing about this kid or this birthday

A dad who blew up every balloon at dawn likes being thanked out loud, even if he shrugs it off. DAD OF THE prints above your father-and-son photo and BIRTHDAY BOY below it in tall white letters, with the picture toned black and white like an old print.

Completed example: a waist-up photo of Marcus holding his son Eli on his shoulders at the pumpkin patch. The front reads DAD OF THE, then the photo, then BIRTHDAY BOY. For kids, everyday clothes and a head-and-shoulders or waist-up framing work best; we don’t print swim or bath photos.
