Personalized Custom First Day of School Photo Tee with Two Lines of Text – Vintage Photo Tee

A personalized custom first day of school photo tee with one photo window and two lines of text you write yourself, one above the picture and one below.

Your kid’s photo prints in black and white, so it reads like a vintage picture tee, and the words can say anything: a grade, a name, a countdown.

Printed on a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, plus a youth tee and toddler hoodie for the kids themselves.

Placeholder words, real results

In the sample, CUSTOM TEXT sits on top and CUSTOM PHOTO on the bottom. Both are stand-ins. So is the girl in heart sunglasses and a denim jacket throwing a peace sign; your kid photo takes her spot.

White lettering keeps it clean on any shirt color.

Writing two lines for the first day of school photo tee

1. Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck, hoodie, youth tee or toddler hoodie and size.
2. Pick a shirt color.
3. Upload one photo. For kids, use waist-up or head-and-shoulders in everyday clothes; swim, bath and leotard photos aren’t printed.
4. Type both lines in the text boxes, top line first.

Making the first-day photo something you keep

• First-day photos look the same every year
• Back to school shirts for parents are usually generic slogans
• Grandparents miss the morning and only see it in a text

The first day of school is as big for the parent as it is for the kid. Your kid’s picture goes black and white between two lines of text you write, so it can say FIRST DAY and KINDERGARTEN or anything else you choose.

Completed example: SECOND GRADE / HERE I COME. Stuck on wording? FIRST DAY / OF SCHOOL is the classic.

SECOND GRADE / ROCKS turns it into a second grade shirt, and AFTER / SCHOOL CLUB suits the elementary pickup line.

Who wears the back to school photo shirt?

Kids can wear their own. The Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee comes in Youth XS to XL, a heavyweight tee for the backpack crowd. Little siblings tagging along to drop-off can match in the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie, 2T to 5/6T.

Teens who’ve outgrown youth sizes move up to the grown-up tee.

Mostly it’s a parent getting ready for the kindergarten drop-off photo, already planning the backpack and the chalkboard sign. They want to wear their kid’s face to the first morning, with their own words above and below.

• Back to school
• Senior year
