Easter Shirt Ideas for Families, Kids and Church

In this article

Easter sits in an awkward spot for custom shirts. It is a major family occasion with a lot of photographs, but it is also a day where plenty of people are dressing up rather than down.

The answer most families land on is two different things: something smart for the morning, and matching shirts for the afternoon when the egg hunt starts and nobody cares about clothes any more.

Family Easter shirts

Surname and year. "The Okafors · Easter 2027" in a clean typeface. Understated enough to wear to a family gathering — see custom Easter shirts.

Matching pastels with individual names. Each person a different spring colour, same design.

"Hoppy Easter" with the family name. Obvious, still ordered constantly.

Role shirts. "Chief Egg Hider," "Egg Hunt Champion," "Here For The Chocolate."

Photo shirts with last year's Easter photo — see custom photo shirts.

First Easter shirts for a baby, with the year. These become keepsakes.

Children's Easter shirts

Name with a bunny or egg graphic.

Age and year. "Easter 2027 · Age 4." Order annually and the set becomes a record.

"Egg Hunt Champion" — and order a second one saying "Runner Up" for the sibling, which prevents considerable trouble.

Their own drawing of a bunny, printed exactly as drawn.

Sibling sets — see custom sibling shirts.

Matching sets with a parent — see mommy and me shirts.

Church and group shirts

Easter is one of the biggest days in the church calendar and group orders are common.

Church name with the year.

Youth group shirts for the Easter service or a sunrise service.

Volunteer shirts for whoever is running the community egg hunt. Genuinely useful — parents need to know who to ask.

Choir and worship team shirts.

Sunday school class shirts with every child's name.

"He Is Risen" with the church name, for congregations that want something plainly stated.

Church orders clear fifteen shirts easily, so 25% off applies to almost all of them.

Egg hunt and event shirts

Community egg hunt volunteer shirts in a bright single colour.

Team shirts if the hunt is organised in teams.

"Egg Hunt Official" for whoever is adjudicating, which at a large hunt is a real job.

Year-dated shirts for an annual neighbourhood event.

Colours that photograph well in spring

Easter photos are usually taken outdoors in bright light, which changes what works:

• Soft pastels photograph beautifully outdoors and are the traditional choice for a reason.
• Avoid white in bright sun. It blows out and loses all detail.
• Mid-tone colours hold detail best — sage, dusty blue, soft coral.
• Different pastels per person photographs better than everyone in identical shirts.
• Consider the background. If photos will be taken in front of blossom or greenery, avoid green shirts.
