doberlady Posted June 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Going on Ex of the Seas in August. Me, my adult daughter and my sweet 16 year old. This is a girls cruise for my sweet 16 (and a surprise) I would love to make matching shirts to wear on embark day. I have been trying for weeks to come up with something!! If anyone did matching trip shirts please post them here. I would LOVE to see to get ideas Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaman#1 Posted June 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2012 When we went on the last Sovereign of the Seas cruise in 2008, we designed our own shirts over at cafepress.com, heres a link with the design I did! http://www.cafepress.com/mf/29731639/_tshirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffinater Posted June 5, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2012 There are tons of online sites that offer custom t-shirts and many other things. Google is a great place to start. I am sure you will see a bunch of good ideas. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyd Posted June 5, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Try zazzle.com and type in cruising. Then you design how you want the shirts to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare AFS1970 Posted June 5, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have made T-shirts before on my own computer. Especially for a one off thing, it can be done. I bought the transfer paper at an office supply store. I made the design and then just had to reverse it, but the drawing program did that for me. I think I got the blank T-Shirt at a department store, but I have seen them at arts & craft stores. Come to think of it arts & craft stores may have pre-made iron on designs and letters to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shirt LOL I am having such trouble coming up with a design I wanted the front to say something like ALEXANDRA'S BIRTHDAY CRUISE AUGUST 2012 I wanted the back of her's to say TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY I'M SWEET 16 Just a thought, but as a 16 year old, will your daughter wear the shirt out in public? I am pretty sure that I would not have been able to get my then 16 year old daughters to wear anything that would call attention to them. lol I have made T-shirts before on my own computer.

That's what happened to some that I made for my nieces one year. It rained! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doberlady Posted June 5, 2012 Author #14 Share Posted June 5, 2012 yes LOL we are matching T-shirt Disney people ::shudder:: She will wear on the cruise. She would not wear lets say to the mall or Chilis etc My oldest would not be caught dead at 16 wearing that. She is now 28 and coming on the cruise. She wants to do tote bags instead of shirts.

emen822 Posted June 5, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Try cafepress.com I have 'designed' two shirts for cruise critic groups. Attached is the front and back of the last one we did for the Mexican Riviera cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 5, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I was going to ask if everyone was willing to wear matching shirts, too! I wouldn't have been willing in my teens (and wouldn't now, as a matter of fact!!)...so it would have been wasted time and money for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tote bags sound good, but if the girls will wear the shirts, why not! My DH will not even wear a matching name tag to a CC meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynfc Posted June 6, 2012 #23 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I like that you want to put that its her sweet 16 on her shirt. But since its kinda a girl's cruise too, why not make the front more generic or applicable to everyone in the group? Like I founded a sorority in college and the cool thing to do with our shirts back then was to make them kinda like the baseball jersey style. We would put like "Thetas........" on the front or our slogan for the year, "Its a Theta Thang." And then on the back across the shoulders we would put our sorority names and in the middle, the year we joined the sorority....02. Maybe you can do that. Put a slogan or motto on the front.......something clever. Then on the back........put a nickname for you and your other daughter.........and then for the Birthday Girl put Sweet 16.........then the number in the middle can be 12 for this year. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted June 7, 2012 #24 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I was trying to put together a girls' getaway coastal cruise for this fall, to celebrate my - gulp! - 60th, which unfortunately fell through. But, my plan for t-shirts was "A Gathering of Goddesses" on each of our shirts, with different color shirts for each of the four of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
