How do you organize shirts for a family reunion?
Get one design made and approved, then share one shirt link with a clear order-by date. Each relative picks their own size and color, pays for their own shirt and has it shipped to their door. Send two reminders. Nobody collects sizes, money or boxes of shirts.

Step by step
From “what do we do about shirts?” to the group photo
- 1
Plan
“When do we need to start?”
Work back from the event date: request the design 3–5 weeks before, close ordering about 10 days before.
- 2
Organize
“How do I get everyone’s sizes and money?”
You don’t have to. One shirt link lets each relative pick a size, pay and ship to their own door.
- 3
Design
“What should the shirt look like?”
Family name, the year and the place, plus one personal touch. Pick one color or one per branch.
- 4
Approve
“Does everyone like it?”
Share the first design, check every name and date, ask for changes, then approve.
- 5
Order
“How does everyone get their own shirt?”
Post the link with an order-by date, remind twice, and order for anyone who doesn’t shop online.
- 6
Event
“Did it work?”
Everyone arrives in the same shirt. Take the group photo early.

Organizer questions
What’s the easiest way to organize shirts for a big family reunion?
Get one design made and approved, then share one shirt link with an order-by date. Each relative orders their own size and color and has it shipped to their door, so you never collect sizes, money or boxes.
Are the planning tools free?
Yes. The planner, color planner, text templates and checklist are free, need no account, and don’t send your information anywhere.
Do I have to use your design service to use the tools?
No. The tools work for any shirt plan. If you’d like us to design the shirt, the request form takes about three minutes.
Ready to make your family reunion shirt?
Tell us your family name, the year and your idea. We'll design a shirt just for your family — everyone orders their own.
