Yes — ordering custom family matching tees for Thanksgiving takes just three steps: pick your shirt sizes and colours, send us your design or idea, and we print them with DTF and ship them across Canada. For Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, October 12, 2026, place your order early and Amritu Customs in Langley, BC will get your family's matching tees printed with fast turnaround so they are ready for the holiday photos.
Step 1: Pick your sizes and shirt styles
Start by counting who needs a shirt — from the grandparents to the littlest cousins. Most families order a mix of adult and youth sizes, and many also want a couple of extras for friends or family visiting from out of town. Decide on a base shirt: a classic cotton tee works for everyone, and black or white shirts make printed designs pop without extra cost.
Because DTF printing has no minimum order, you do not have to round up to a "full box" of shirts. Order exactly what you need — 6 shirts for a small family or 25 for the whole clan — and the price stays sensible either way.
Step 2: Send your design (or just your idea)
You do not need to be a designer. A family name and the year, a funny Thanksgiving saying like "Thankful Crew 2026," or a simple turkey or pumpkin graphic is all it takes. Send us a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background if you have one, and we will make sure it is print-ready.
DTF printing is what makes this easy: it prints full colour — including white ink — directly onto any shirt colour, so a white "Thankful" script on a black tee comes out crisp. Unlike screen printing, there are no setup fees per colour, which keeps one-off family designs affordable.
Step 3: We print, you wear them on Thanksgiving
Each transfer is pressed at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 10–15 seconds with firm, even pressure, then peeled (cold or warm peel depending on the film) and pressed once more briefly to lock the print in. The result is a vibrant design that stretches with the fabric and holds up wash after wash.
To keep the prints looking fresh through Thanksgiving dinner and beyond, wash the shirts inside-out in cold water, hang dry or use low heat, skip the bleach, and wait 24 hours after printing before the first wash.
How much do matching family tees cost?
Custom family tees are surprisingly affordable when you order them as a group. Our popular bulk deal gets you 20 custom t-shirts for $200 — that is $10 per shirt with your own design printed on the front, which comfortably covers most families in one order. Smaller families can go with a gangsheet of transfers and press their own shirts, or order exactly the number of printed tees they need.
What should the design say?
The best Thanksgiving tee designs are short and readable from across the dinner table. Some family favourites:
- The family name + "Thanksgiving 2026" (classic and timeless)
- "Thankful, Blessed & Well-Fed" (funny and festive)
- Each person's name with a role — "Head Chef," "Pie Expert," "Official Napper"
- A simple pumpkin or turkey graphic with your family name underneath
Keep the text large and the colours bold — designs read best in holiday photos when the lettering is at least a couple of inches tall.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum order for family matching tees?
No. DTF printing has no minimums and no per-colour setup fees, so you can order 5 shirts or 50. If you want to press them yourself, a single gangsheet lets you fit multiple designs on one sheet.
Can we mix adult and youth sizes in one order?
Yes. Just list each person's size when you order, and every shirt gets the same design printed to fit. For very small kids' shirts, we scale the design down so it looks right.
Will the print survive Thanksgiving dinner spills?
Yes. DTF prints are flexible and durable when washed properly — inside-out, cold water, no bleach, and hang dry or low heat. They hold up to gravy mishaps and repeat wears.
Can I apply DTF transfers myself with a home heat press?
Absolutely. Press at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 10–15 seconds with firm, even pressure, peel according to the film type (cold or warm peel), then do a short second press to finish. Full instructions come with every order.
