What do bridesmaids wear to get ready on wedding day?

Popular getting-ready options include matching robes, oversized button-down shirts (for hair and makeup), tank tops with 'Bridesmaid' printed, or cozy sweatshirts. Many bridal parties choose items that photograph well and can be kept as keepsakes.

What should bachelorette party shirts say?

Popular bachelorette shirt ideas include: 'Bride Tribe', 'Team Bride', the bride's name + 'Bachelorette', destination city names, funny phrases, or matching designs where the bride's shirt stands out (often in white while others wear colours).

How far in advance should I order wedding party shirts?

Order 3-4 weeks before you need them. This allows time for design approval, production, shipping, and any last-minute size exchanges. Rush orders are possible with 1-2 weeks notice for an additional fee.

Can I customize shirts with each bridesmaid's name?

Yes! Individual name personalization is available. Popular options include names on the back, names below a design on the front, or role titles (Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride). Add $3-5 per shirt for name customization.

What do groomsmen wear for bachelor parties?

Groomsmen typically wear matching t-shirts, often with humorous designs, the groom's name, or activity-themed graphics (golf, Vegas, fishing). Polo shirts are popular for golf outings or upscale bachelor parties.

How much do custom wedding party shirts cost?

Basic wedding party t-shirts start around $15-20 each with printing. Premium tanks run $18-25. Expect to pay $20-35 for personalized items with individual names. Hoodies and sweatshirts for getting ready range from $35-50.

Can the bride's shirt be different from the bridesmaids?

Absolutely! It's traditional for the bride to stand out. Common approaches: bride wears white while party wears a colour, bride has a special title ('Bride' vs 'Bridesmaid'), or bride's design includes extra embellishments like glitter or metallic print.

Do you offer rush delivery for wedding orders?

Yes! Rush production and expedited shipping are available. Rush orders can be completed in 3-5 business days for an additional fee. Contact us directly for last-minute wedding orders and we'll do our best to accommodate.
