Create Family Reunion Designs to Put On T-Shirts with Smart Templates
Why We Love Family Reunion Shirts (And You Should, Too!)
When the family gets together, magic happens. It feels so great to have all your blood relatives in the same place, even if it’s only once a year. A family reunion is when every relative is invited, no matter how distant the connection or how far away they live; it’s a chance to reconnect with people you haven’t seen in years and even get to meet new additions, like babies!
These events are a big deal mostly because people will come from all sorts of places for the occasion; some branches of the family will go on road trips just to get there and get the chance to spend some time with Grandpa and listen to the same old jokes. At family reunions, you will get to see relatives you haven’t seen in years, or perhaps ever! They are planned, fun, and packed with family reunion activities that foster the interaction between distant family members who would otherwise have little or maybe nothing to talk about (or so they think).
The truth is that with today’s busy life, it gets more and more complicated to make family reunions actually happen. So when these take place, it’s great to have something to remember them, like family reunion-themed t-shirts for everyone to wear and feel that awesome sense of belonging.

Imagine how long would it take the average family reunion organizer that has few or maybe no graphic design skills to create a family reunion design like the one above.

This is the reason behind this handy tool, to help you create family reunion designs to put on t-shirts on the go. It is super easy to customize, and best of all, it is 100% FREE to use as long as you have a Placeit subscription!
Why Use Placeit’s Family Templates
- It’s FREE and easy to use with a Placeit subscription.
- Created designs can be downloaded in high-definition and in many different sizes so that they can your family reunion designs can be shared on Social Media too. For printing, the best preset to choose is the one with the highest resolution; in this case, it is the one that says “Amazon Merch T-shirt- 4500×5400”. The person that will print this for you will always prefer to downsize an image then try to make it bigger. You lose quality in the design when you try to augment the size of it without using the right tools, so let’s go with the safest option, right?
- You can use these designs for creating posters that you can paste around the house where the family reunion will be taking place, or maybe use the design as a cover photo if you are organizing through Facebook!
Choose a POD Site to Upload Your Design
Here are just a few of the benefits you can get from signing up to a POD site and offering your t-shirt designs online:
✓ No inventory needed. Selling online through a print-on-demand shop gets rid of that problem because you don’t have to produce stock; they will take care of making and delivering the exact item your customer ordered for you.
✓ No need for a huge investment!
✓ Reach a larger audience. Most print-on-demand websites offer international shipping, which is a great way to reach potential buyers from different countries all around the globe. Worried about how would you get paid? No need to; most of these guys handle PayPal or Payoneer for paying out their designers’ commissions.

To Wrap-Up
Family reunions strengthen and rejuvenate family bonds. Having custom t-shirts made will give everyone extra memories to cherish. As an extra tip, do your best to plan several months ahead for the best results. I reckon that planning 9 or 10 months ahead gives every member of the family enough time to save up for the big event, make advanced reservations if needed, schedule time off from work, arrange agendas, and will be more than enough time to have the t-shirts ready.
Encourage everyone to bring old family photos and albums and take as many pictures and videos as possible while everyone is still wearing their cool t-shirts that you were able to create on your own so that this unique day can be remembered forever!
