Sweet 16 Shirt with Photo | Personalized Custom Photo Tee

A personalized custom sweet 16 shirt made to show up in every photo of the day. Her picture fills the middle in black and white, SWEET runs across the top and SIXTEEN across the bottom, both in tall antique gold letters.

It goes with pastel balloons and black-and-gold parties alike, printed on a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.

Upload her favorite photo

Her sixteen, her way

Some girls wear it to school on the birthday itself as a turning 16 tee. Others save it for the party and dress the friend group in a sweet 16 crew shirt of a different color so the birthday girl pops in pictures. In winter, the hoodie version usually wins.

About the SWEET SIXTEEN artwork

Our sample shows a girl with long wavy hair peeking out from behind a bunch of balloons, smiling like she knows something. Use her favorite picture of herself, and trust us, ask her first.

The gold words never change; the photo goes grayscale so it matches any theme color you’ve picked for the party.

Who it’s for

Mostly it’s a mom, a month out from the sweet sixteen her daughter has been planning since seventh grade. The balloon arch is ordered and the theme is set, but she wants one gift that’s about her girl, not the party.

The birthday girl

She wears it to school on the day and again at the party, because sixteen fits an adult small.

Her mom

It sits next to the car-keys talk in the gift pile, and it’s the one she pulls on first.

An aunt out of state

When she can’t fly in, mailing it means she still shows up in the party pictures.

Best friends at the sleepover

Instead of more makeup, they hand her a shirt with the picture she picked herself.

Grandparents

They want her to open something she’ll wear, so a photo tee beats a sweater in the wrong color.

The friend group

Everyone matches in a second color, which makes the birthday girl easy to spot.

A sweet 16 gift she’ll actually want to wear

Sweet sixteen gifts lean on makeup sets she’ll swap with friends
Party shirts with sparkly crowns look too young at sixteen
Relatives out of state never know what a teenager wants

At sixteen she wants to look grown up in the photos and still be the birthday girl. Her favorite photo of herself, toned black and white, sits between SWEET and SIXTEEN in tall antique gold, so it fits pastel balloons or a black and gold theme.

Completed example: a waist-up photo of Mia laughing on the bleachers, cropped to just her, printed between SWEET and SIXTEEN on a crewneck. Skip heavy filters. Everyday clothes, framed head-and-shoulders or waist-up, are what we print; swimsuit and leotard shots are left out.

Personalize her shirt

Fabric, fit and size range

Choose the Comfort Colors 1717 tee in garment-dyed 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, S to 4XL, with a relaxed unisex cut.

For a 16th birthday sweatshirt, the 1566 crewneck runs S to 3XL in 80/20 fleece, and the 1567 hoodie runs S to 2XL with a jersey-lined hood and pouch pocket. Her true size gives relaxed; one or two up looks oversized.

The size guide has every measurement. If her birthday lands in January, the Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve comes in S to 3XL.

Little sisters can get into the party pictures with the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee (XS to XL) or the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie (2T to 5/6T).

Once ordered, her shirt is printed in the USA within 1 to 3 business days and delivered by USPS in 3 to 5, tracked. Read more on our shipping page.

Can her name go on it?

Not on this design. It’s her photo plus SWEET SIXTEEN.

Can twins share one shirt?

Yes. Upload a photo with both girls and we’ll fit it between the two words.

Can her favorite singer be on it?

No. Pop stars, celebrities, rappers and influencers are declined, and so are logos, brands, team marks and characters. Upload your own family photos. A sweet 16 order including them is canceled and refunded.
