Birthday Shirts
Birthday shirts printed with your own photos, from a childhood snapshot to the whole friend group. Add the pictures plus a name or age, then choose between a Comfort Colors tee, crewneck and hoodie (our kids’ designs come on youth tees). Wear the birthday shirt to dinner yourself, or give one to the person whose big day it is.
Vintage photo or bootleg rap: which birthday style fits?
Every design in this collection falls into one of two looks. The quick version: one meaningful photo points to vintage, a pile of faces points to bootleg.
| Vintage photo tee | Bootleg rap tee | |
|---|---|---|
| What prints | One photo in black and white, topped by a tall headline: a name, an age or a birth year | A 90s rap-tee collage of faces with chrome, metallic lettering |
| Text color | Clean white or antique gold, no outline | Chrome-style lettering in the design colorway you pick |
| Color choices | Shirt color | Shirt color, then one of up to 15 design colorways |
| Where it shines | A parent's big birthday, a baby-picture throwback | A dirty thirty weekend, the girls' 21st, a joke gift |

Custom birthday shirt ideas from the grid
For her, the birthday girl photo tee is our simplest vintage birthday shirt: her photo in black and white with clean lettering above it. If you'd rather go loud, the bootleg shirt with her name and age stacks her photos in a rap-tee collage. The birthday queen shirt does the same for a 40th or 50th, and it's an easy answer when a husband needs a funny birthday gift for her that she'll actually wear. Planning a group trip for a 30th? The dirty thirty photo shirt is made to be ordered for the whole crew. And the 40th face birthday collage turns her best (and worst) pictures into the centerpiece of the party.
Designs for women are only part of the grid; dads, husbands and teens have their own. The teenager birthday shirt puts a 13-year-old's name and photo front and center. As a birthday gift for mom from son, a mom birthday shirt works with a recent family photo. A birthday gift for dad from son often hits harder with a picture of him at age six on a dad birthday shirt. Any birthday gift shirt lands better when the photo is one they'll laugh at instead of hide.

About the photos you send: they should be yours or shared with permission. Rappers, actors, athletes and cartoon characters are off the table, as are brand names and logos. If an order includes them, we cancel it and refund every cent.
Questions before you order
Can I get matching shirts for a group?
Yes. Add the same design to your cart once per person and pick each size and garment separately. On bootleg designs, friends can choose different design colorways if you want some variety. Group orders of $75 or more ship free in the US.
Will it arrive before the party?
Expect roughly 4–8 business days door to door, split between printing (1–3) and transit (3–5). We can't guarantee a delivery date, so leave yourself a cushion before the party.
Can I put the age or birth year on the shirt?
Many designs include a text box for a name, an age or a year. Type it exactly as you want it printed. The product page shows which boxes each design has.
What kind of photo works best?
A clear, well-lit, front-facing shot. Phone photos are fine, and higher resolution prints sharper. Make sure no faces are cut off at the edge of the frame.
