How do I pick the year?

Most people type his birth year, which turns it into a classic est year shirt. Already married? Use the year you tied the knot and it works as a first anniversary present.

Want to mark the wedding itself? Type the year you’re getting married. Any four digits that mean something to him will do.

Design details

The sample is a little boy in a tiny tux and bow tie, grinning with a missing front tooth, standing in a living room with framed family photos on a shelf behind him. The bottom line reads EST. 1995.

Send your groom’s own childhood photo, or a baby photo if the best one is from his first birthday, and it comes out looking like it was pulled straight from the family album.

Personalizing it

1. Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie in his size.
2. Pick a shirt color under the white lettering.
3. Upload his childhood photo. The bow-tie boy on the listing is a sample, swapped for your groom.
4. Type the year in the text box. Example: 1996, which prints as EST. 1996.

Before he was the groom, he was this kid

• Groom gifts from the bride often come down to a watch or cufflinks
• Childhood photos of the groom only come out during the slideshow
• Morning-of nerves hit hard and nobody plans a laugh for him

Every groom was once a kid dressed up for someone else’s wedding. THE GROOM in white letters sits above his black and white childhood photo, and an EST line with his birth year closes it out at the bottom like an old family album label.

Kid photos print best head-and-shoulders or waist-up in everyday clothes, with no bath or pool pictures.

Who buys it

The bride is the most common buyer, usually a month before the wedding after his mom finally handed over the clip-on bow tie picture. She wants to surprise him the morning of with something that makes him laugh before the nerves set in.
