Bachelor and Bachelorette Shirt Ideas

Great shirts are a must and a terrific idea for any bachelor/bachelorette party!  Whether you want to create DIY shirts or have them professional made, we have gathered up some creative ideas for you to make the perfect party shirt!

         Iron-on Transfers:  On a tight budget? Need the shirts fast? Then a great way to make custom shirts from your own home is to use iron-on transfer decals.  What you will need is an ink jet print, heat decal paper, an iron, and a shirt.  Find a design that you like online or through clipart.  Before you print it, make sure that you have the setting to print on a mirrored image (if you don’t, then any text will be read backwards).  Then print it on iron-on transfer paper and cut it to size.  Cut close to the image to avoid unwanted residue showing up on your shirt.  Place the design on your shirt, and grab a towel to place over the design.  Turn your iron on and make sure that the steam setting is off.  Then iron away.  Simple and easy.  Although not as high-quality as some other methods, these will do for the special night out!  Most heat transfer paper work best with white or light colored shirts, but if you want to go dark, make sure you get transfer paper that is made for dark apparel.

         Fun Sayings:  These are always fun to put on shirts.  An example might be: Last Fling Before the Ring, Sexy Bride, or Bachelor(ette) in fun colors.  Research the internet and come up with your own fun sayings.  Use rhymes or cool designs to make your shirt be the life of the party!

         Writeable Shirts:  This is always a good idea for bachelor(ette) parties.  Make a to-do list and print it on a shirt for the bride-to-be.  Then on the party night, she has to do everything on the list.  Examples may be: serenade a stranger, have a stranger buy me a shot, get a guy/girl’s phone number, or dance with a nerd.  Carry around a fabric marker and check off the list as they go.  This is sure to create some fun memories of the special night.

         Jerseys: Have professional shirts made for the bridesmaids by having jerseys made.  These can be easily made by applying vinyl with a heat press.  You can personalize the jerseys or make them all the same, the choice is up to you!

         Cut-up Shirts: Put some originality into your shirt and cut it up!  Try cutting up the sides of your shirt by: 1^st cut the vertical seam of the bottom of your shirt up to below the armpit on both sides, 2^nd cut many horizontal slits over the area you just cut.  Next tie the horizontal slits.  This will give your shirt a new twist, and is a great solution if your shirt is too big.  You can tie-up the shirt to give a more form fitting appearance.

                  There are so many options for creating amazing bachelor(ette) party shirts.  Use your imagination and have fun!
