Planning Family Reunion T-Shirts: A Simple Order Checklist

Matching T-shirts can give a family reunion a shared look, whether you are gathering for a backyard cookout, a park picnic, or a weekend together. The easiest way to organize the order is to settle a few details before choosing the final design.

Use this checklist to turn scattered messages from relatives into one clear custom-shirt request.

1. Choose one person to collect the details

Ask one organizer to keep the size list, artwork, and questions in the same place. Set a family response deadline and make sure everyone knows who to contact if a size or name needs to change. A single, updated list helps prevent an old message from becoming part of the final order.

2. Count shirts by size, not just by family

Start with each person’s name, requested size, and quantity. Identify adult and youth requests separately, then confirm which shirt styles and sizes are available before finalizing the count. Ask for sizing information for the specific shirt instead of assuming every style fits the same way.

• Keep one row per person or identical size request.
• Total each size and check that the numbers match your overall quantity.
• Decide whether the organizer wants to request any extra shirts.

3. Keep the design focused

A family name, reunion year, and one meaningful graphic make a useful starting point. For example, a simple family-tree idea or a hometown-inspired design can connect the shirt to the occasion. Choose a shirt color and artwork colors that are easy to distinguish from each other.

Before sending the design, check every surname, date, and location. If you want individual names or additional print areas, include those details in the request so they can be reviewed.

4. Gather your artwork and event date

Send the original artwork file if you have it, along with a short explanation of the look you want. If you are still working from an idea, describe it clearly and mention that you need help preparing the artwork. Radiary offers custom DTF printed apparel and can help prepare artwork for printing.

Include the reunion date and the date you need the shirts in hand. Ask Radiary to confirm availability and timing before making plans around the order; an event date by itself does not confirm a production deadline.

5. Confirm how you will receive the order

Local pickup is available in Alpine, Texas. Shipping may also be available depending on the order, so confirm the options when you discuss the details. Designate one person to receive and distribute the shirts, and keep the final size list for that handoff.
