Personalized Custom Mother of the Groom Shirt with Mom and Son Photo – Vintage Photo Tee

Her baby boy is getting married, and this personalized custom mother of the groom shirt makes sure nobody forgets it. An old photo of Mom with her son sits between MOTHER in antique gold on top and OF THE GROOM in gold below.

Order it as a vintage photo tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.

Upload the fridge photo

The photo that makes it

The sample shows a mom kissing the cheek of a little boy, maybe four years old, who’s hugging her neck in a sunny yard. It’s the kind of mom and me memory that lives on a fridge for decades.

Find yours, snap a sharp phone picture of the print, and we’ll turn it into a clean black and white image.

If the best one is from his first year, a baby photo works just as well, and so does a recent picture of the two of them.

Childhood photos print best head-and-shoulders or waist-up in everyday clothes. Bath and pool pictures can’t be used.

When does the groom give it?

Usually at the rehearsal dinner, right before the toast, so she has a moment to cry before the main event. Brides like it too, as a welcome for a future mother-in-law. And some moms simply buy their own proud mom shirt, because they’re not about to wait for anyone.

Make it in four steps

1. Pick the garment and Mom’s size.
2. Choose a shirt color. Gold lettering prints on all of them.
3. Upload the mom and son photo. Our sample picture is replaced by your own.
4. Type a crop note in the text box. Example: Mom and Luke, 1999, crop close.

Give his mom back the photo from the fridge

• Mother of the groom gifts often end up as a generic robe or a bracelet
• Moms of grooms can feel like guests at their own son’s wedding
• The fridge photo is fading and only lives in one kitchen

Her son’s wedding day is also the day she remembers him at four. MOTHER in antique gold sits above a clean black and white print of her with her little boy, OF THE GROOM in gold below, so the fridge photo goes with her.

Who’s giving it

Usually the groom orders this for his mom, prompted by a sister who knows she’ll cry at the rehearsal. They dig out the picture of her kissing his cheek in the yard when he was little, the same one that’s been on her fridge for decades.
