Birthday Sayings FAQ

Which birthday sayings work best on a shirt?

Short ones with the name or age read best, like ____ and fabulous! or Awesome since [birth year].

Can everyone at the party get a matching shirt?

Yes. Many groups use one design for everyone and a different color or a crown for the birthday star.

When should we order birthday shirts?

Order a few weeks before the party. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive in time.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
