Mother & Father of the Bride Shirts

Shirts for the mother and father of the bride, plus designs for the groom’s parents, printed with a photo you choose, like the bride as a little girl or the groom’s baby picture. Type the names, choose a Comfort Colors tee, crewneck or hoodie, and that’s a mother of the bride gift from the groom that she can wear while getting ready.

One shirt for each parent

Weddings have quiet moments for parents, like the morning in the bridal suite or the brunch the next day. A personalized shirt fits those, not the ceremony itself.

A mother of the bride gift from the groom (or anyone else)

The mother of the bride shirt with your photo is a vintage design: the photo goes black and white and sits below tall lettering in clean white or antique gold. Coming from the groom, it says he gets how much this day means to her. A friend can give the same shirt with a photo from the bride's childhood, and a daughter can choose a picture of the two of them. The mother of the groom design follows the same idea with his baby photo.

Father of the bride gift ideas

Dads are notoriously hard to buy for at weddings. The father of the bride shirt with a photo of dad and the bride is something he can keep wearing long after the wedding, on a Comfort Colors tee in sizes up to 4XL. The father of the groom design uses a childhood photo of the groom, which makes a funny gift from a son who wants to thank his dad without a speech.

Is a shirt a good mother of the bride gift from the groom?

It works well as a getting-ready gift. Choose a photo of the bride as a child or of mom and daughter, tuck in a card, and give it the morning of or at the rehearsal dinner.

Orders usually arrive in 4–8 business days, but delivery isn't guaranteed. Give yourself a few extra weeks so the shirts are in hand before the wedding.
