Family reunion shirts make your gathering feel special. They help everyone spot relatives in a crowd, and they look amazing in group photos. In addition, they become a keepsake that family members wear for years. Here is how to plan family reunion shirts that everyone will love.
Design Ideas for Family Reunion Shirts
- Family name and year: for example, “The Johnson Family Reunion 2026.”
- Location: add the city or venue, such as a lake, park, or hometown.
- Family tree: a simple tree graphic with the family name works well.
- A fun slogan: something like “Different branches, same roots.”
- Memorial touch: also, honor a grandparent or founder with a name or photo.

Choose Colors That Work for Everyone
Bright colors look great in photos and make it easy to find family in a crowd. However, some groups like different colors for each branch of the family. For example, one branch wears blue, another wears red, and another wears green. As a result, everyone knows who belongs to which side at a glance.
Sizing for All Ages
Family reunions include babies, kids, teens, and grandparents. So, you will likely need youth sizes and larger adult sizes. First, collect sizes with a simple online form. Then, add a few extras in common sizes for last-minute guests. Our t-shirt size breakdown guide explains how to plan.
Pick a Comfortable Shirt
Reunions often happen outside in summer. Therefore, choose a light, breathable shirt. For example, the Gildan Softstyle G640 is soft and affordable. For a premium look, the Bella Canvas 3001C is also a great choice.
Order on Time
Plan to order at least four weeks before the reunion. That gives time for proofs, about two weeks of production, and free UPS Ground shipping. Also, see our turnaround time page for holiday closures. If you live in Dallas or Austin, you can get free same-day local delivery.
How to Split the Cost
Many families collect money with each size request. Others add a small amount to cover extras. For example, if shirts cost $9 each, charging $12 covers extras and shipping for guests who forget to order. In addition, apps like Venmo make collecting money simple.
