Personalized Custom Promoted to Grandma Shirt

The promoted to grandma shirt is a personalized custom ultrasound tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie that does the announcing for you. Your scan sits inside a thin white frame, PROMOTED TO is printed above it, and GRANDMA 2027 sits below in antique gold.

How the promoted to grandma shirt reveal usually goes

Some people tuck it in a gift bag at dinner and film her face when she pulls it out. Others mail it across the country with a note that says to open it on video.

Either way, the new grandma tends to wear it to the baby shower and again to the hospital.

In the sample you can see a baby in profile with tiny curled fingers and both feet in the air, which is how your own scan will look on the shirt. The ultrasound stays black and white, the way it came off the machine.

Because the year is fixed, this design is for babies due in 2027.

Good matches for this pregnancy announcement shirt

It’s the expecting daughter or daughter-in-law, a few weeks past the first scan, trying to work out how to tell her mom without blurting it over the phone. She wants to watch Grandma figure it out on her own.

A first-time grandma

She’s been dropping hints for years, so let her pull this out of a gift bag while someone films her face.

Your mother-in-law

Instead of hearing it secondhand, she gets her own announcement with the scan right on it.

Both grandmas at one dinner

Order two and hand them over together, which means neither grandma can say she found out last.

A sister helping with the reveal

When your sister asks for help surprising your mom, you handle the order while she supplies the scan.

Mom on Mother’s Day

If the timing lines up, a May reveal makes Mother’s Day the day she found out.

What do I need to upload?

Choose a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie in Grandma’s size.
Pick a shirt color; gold and white both show well on darker shades.
Upload your ultrasound. A straight-on photo of the printout in good light works fine. It replaces the sample scan.
Got several scans? Say which one. Example: second picture, side profile.

How to tell your mom she’s going to be a grandma

Pregnancy news for parents usually happens over a rushed phone call
Ultrasound printouts end up curled on the fridge
Mothers-in-law often hear the news second, and secondhand

Grandmas-to-be want a moment they can replay, not just the news itself. Your actual scan sits in a thin white frame under PROMOTED TO, with GRANDMA 2027 in antique gold below, so she reads the news one line at a time.

Grandma’s fit and fabric

The Comfort Colors 1717 is a garment-dyed, 6.1 oz tee in 100% ring-spun cotton with a relaxed unisex fit, S to 4XL.

A grandma to be sweatshirt is popular too: the Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck runs S to 3XL, and the 1567 hoodie runs S to 2XL with a lined hood, drawcord and pouch pocket, both in 80/20 fleece.

Usual size fits relaxed; one or two up looks oversized. The size guide lists every measurement. If she lives in sleeves, the Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve covers S to 3XL.

The wording says GRANDMA, so it’s hers, but the listing also carries a 9018 youth tee (XS to XL) and a Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie (2T to 5/6T).

The print is DTF or DTG depending on the garment, produced in the USA. It takes 1 to 3 business days to make and 3 to 5 business days for USPS, with tracking. Details are on the shipping page.

Ultrasound shirt FAQ

Can it say GRANDPA or NANA instead?

No. This design always reads PROMOTED TO GRANDMA 2027; only the ultrasound changes.

My scan is a little blurry. Will it work?

Ultrasounds are naturally grainy, and that’s fine. Shoot the printout flat and straight on, without glare, for the clearest result.

Is there anything you can’t print?

We don’t print celebrities, rappers or other public figures, or logos, brands, team marks and characters. Your own scan is perfect. An announcement shirt with any of that is canceled and refunded.
