Personalized Custom 50th Anniversary Shirt with Photo

Fifty years deserves more than a cake topper. This personalized custom 50th anniversary shirt prints the couple’s own photo in black and white, their two first names in tall white letters on top, and 50 YEARS MARRIED in large white type underneath.

It works as a single shirt for the couple or as a matching family set for the party.

Upload their photo

A photo of them, still dancing

In our sample, Rose and Frank are somewhere in their seventies, slow dancing cheek to cheek in the living room, her cardigan sleeve resting on his shoulder and a bookshelf behind them. Everyday photos like that turn into a lovely photo memory tee.

The original wedding portrait is another strong choice if you’d like to show where it started. Some families split it: the 1976 wedding picture on one shirt and a recent one on the other.

Faded prints are fine. Scan the original if you can, or photograph it flat in daylight without glare, and we’ll convert it to clean grayscale.

How do I add their names to the anniversary shirt?

Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and a size for the first family member. Add extra shirts for every family member who wants one, including youth tees and toddler hoodies for the grandkids.
Pick the shirt color for each item.
Upload the couple’s photo. The Rose and Frank sample is swapped for your picture.
Type both first names in the text box, joined the way you want them printed.

What do you give parents who want nothing?

Parents married fifty years always insist they don’t need anything
Golden anniversary gifts are often gold-colored things nobody uses
Family photos at the party never show the couple as they are now

Fifty years in, the best gift shows the family sees them as a couple, not just as parents. Both first names sit on top of their own black and white photo with 50 YEARS MARRIED in big white letters below, so the whole party knows whose night it is.

Completed example: names typed as Rose & Frank, one scanned wedding photo, six tees in mixed sizes for the anniversary party. Marking a different year? Add the number after the names and it prints in place of 50.

Gift for parents, grandparents or the couple themselves

Usually a daughter organizing her parents’ golden anniversary dinner, with a brother who says they don’t want anything. She has a recent photo of them dancing in the living room and the original wedding portrait, and can’t decide which to use.

The daughter planning the dinner

She gets a gift for her parents that also dresses them for the party, so the photos look like a celebration.

A son

When Mom and Dad insist they don’t want anything this year, a shirt with their own faces is hard to say no to.

Grandkids

Pooling money on something grandma and grandpa will actually wear beats another framed collage.

The couple themselves

If there’s a vow renewal, swapping shirts with each other is a sweet moment for the cameras.

The whole family

Showing up to the party in the same photo tee turns the group picture into an anniversary card.

Sizing the 50th anniversary shirt for a family order

Grown-ups get a relaxed, unisex fit in the tee and fleece. The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton from S to 4XL, which covers most of the family.

The Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck is 80/20 cotton-poly fleece in S to 3XL, and the Comfort Colors 1567 hoodie is preshrunk, garment-dyed fleece with a lined hood and front pouch in S to 2XL.

On fleece, buy true size for relaxed or go up one to two for roomy. Uncles who want sleeves can choose the Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve, S to 3XL.

Grandkids at the party have two picks: the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee in XS to XL, and for the littlest, the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie in 2T to 5/6T.

Compare measurements on the Comfort Colors size guide before ordering for people who aren’t in the room.

Misprinted or the wrong item? Send a photo within 15 days of delivery and we replace it or refund you.

Order the family’s shirts

Can each family member order a different size?

Yes. Add each shirt to the cart with its own size and garment. Upload the photo and names once per item; they all print the same.

Will an old faded print come out well?

Usually, yes. We clean up light dust and convert it to grayscale. A flat scan gives a sharper result than a photo of a photo.

Can we put a famous married couple on it?

No. Celebrities, rappers, athletes and other public figures aren’t printed, and neither are logos, brands, team marks or characters. The photo must be one your family owns. Orders including any of that are canceled and refunded completely.
