5 Ideas For Family Reunion Shirts

Discover creative and fun ideas that will make your gathering memorable.

Family reunions are a time to come together, catch up, and make memories. One great way to commemorate the occasion is with custom family reunion t-shirts. 

Not only do family reunion shirts create a sense of unity and belonging, but they also make for great photo ops. If you're planning a family reunion and looking for ideas for custom t-shirts, here are five fun options to consider.

We’ve been in the screenprinting business since 2009, and we’ve had the opportunity to print many incredible custom family reunion shirts over the years. We understand that coming up with a clever, memorable idea for your tees, tanks, or whatever you decide on can be difficult- but it doesn’t have to be.

If you're planning a family reunion and looking for ideas for custom t-shirts, here are five fun options to consider. Let’s get into it, shall we?

Classic Family Tree

A classic family tree design is a great way to celebrate your family's roots. You can include the names of all the family members, along with their birth years, on the tree branches.

Another option is to use a tree silhouette and have each family member's name on the leaves. You could also use a geometric tree design or include family photos in the branches for a modern twist.

Water-based screen printing is a great option when it comes to printing your family tree design on t-shirts. Water-based ink creates a soft, breathable print that won't crack or peel over time. 

Bella + Canvas and Next Level Apparel are two popular wholesale shirt manufacturers offering various colors and styles.

Matching Family Names

Matching family names are a fun way to show off your family pride. You can use your last name, a family motto, or a nickname that represents your family.

For example, if your family loves to travel, you could use a design that says "The Adventurers" or "The Wanderers." You could also use a clever pun based on your last name, such as "Smith Family Reunion: Unforgettable Memories."

For matching family name designs, embroidery is a great option. It creates a textured and professional-looking design that will last for years. You can choose from a range of thread colors and font styles to create a personalized look.

Destination Reunion

If your family is traveling to a specific location for the reunion, a destination-themed design is a fun way to capture the spirit of the trip. 

You can use a design incorporating the location's landmarks or symbols, such as the Eiffel Tower for a reunion in Paris or palm trees for a reunion in Hawaii. You could also use a simple text-based design with the location name and reunion year.

Water-based screen printing is a great option when it comes to printing destination-themed designs. It creates a vibrant and detailed print that captures the essence of the design. 

American Apparel and Anvil are two popular wholesale shirt manufacturers offering various styles and colors, great for custom screen printing.

Sports Team Reunion

If your family is full of sports fans, a sports team-themed design is a fun way to show off your team spirit. 

You can use a design that features your family's favorite team or sport, such as a basketball for a basketball-loving family or a football for a football-loving family. You could also use a design incorporating your family's name or initials, such as "The Johnson All-Stars."

For sports team-themed designs, embroidery is a great option. Embroidery creates a durable, high-quality design that will withstand the wear and tear of sports activities. Nike and Under Armour are two popular wholesale shirt manufacturers offering sports-specific apparel for custom embroidery.

Photo Collage

A photo collage design is a great way to capture all the family reunion memories. You can include photos of all the family members, along with the location and date of the reunion. You could also have fun quotes or captions to add a personal touch to the design.
