How to Plan Your Party Attire

Choosing the right clothing for December events requires a bit of practical planning. Start by checking the invitation and confirming the venue details. A casual dinner at a coworker's house allows for a relaxed top. A rented hall demands louder attire. Once you know the dress code, you can start gathering your items.

  • Measure every person: Every product page has its own size chart. Because sizes differ by product, you need to check the measurements for each item separately. Do not assume your size in a printed sweater matches your size in a baseball jersey. Have everyone in your group measure their chest and waist before you finalize the cart. Compare those numbers directly to the chart.
  • Manage your timeline: Items are printed to order. Order early for events to ensure you have your clothes before the party date. December gets busy. Leaving your purchase until the last minute causes unnecessary stress. Planning ahead keeps you organized.
  • Prepare your custom details: If you choose an item that requires a name or a photo, you provide those details right on the product page. Personalized items take a name (and on jerseys a number) on the product page. For photo items, upload a high-resolution image. Use a photo taken in natural light with no heavy shadows across the face. Avoid blurry screenshots. Crop the image so the face is clearly visible.
  • Group your purchases: If you are outfitting a family or a group of colleagues, bundle your purchases. Buying 3 or more items saves 10%. Coordinate with your friends to place a single order instead of several individual ones. This keeps your costs down. It also ensures everyone gets their clothing sorted at the exact same time.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a specific size range for all items?

Available sizes differ by product. You need to check the size chart on each specific product page to see the exact dimensions offered for that garment. Measure yourself and compare your numbers to the chart before ordering.

Can I put my dog's face on a custom photo sweater?

Yes. You can upload a photo of a pet just as you would a human face. Ensure the photo has good lighting and the pet is looking directly at the camera. The face will be printed across the design.

How do I add my custom name to the pajamas or jerseys?

Personalized items take a name (and on jerseys a number) on the product page. You will see text boxes where you can type your information before clicking the button to add the item to your cart.

What if I have multiple parties to attend with different groups?

Choose versatile items. A button-up shirt with a mild holiday print works for daytime office lunches and evening family dinners. Buying 3 or more items saves 10%, so you can pick a few different options to cover your entire calendar.

Finalize Your Event Wardrobe

December fills up fast, and securing your clothing early prevents last-minute panic. Check your calendar and consult the size charts. Pick the designs that match the tone of your upcoming events. Preparing early gives you one less thing to worry about.
