Hen and Stag Party T-Shirt Ideas

You’ve seen them at the airport check-in queues, on mass in the streets between clubs, and fragile over breakfast in the hotel – it’s that pack of males howling to the moon, that gaggle of girls with ear-to-ear grins, all commonly known as the stag and hen party.

Nowadays, the in-vogue way to identify your group and create a fantastic feeling of unity is the trend started by the likes of Britney Spears, with t-shirts and outfits branded with the name of your bride or groom and the team topic; it’s the only way to travel.

Getting this organised is so simple you’ll be doing it for every occasion you can afterwards too. You might well have a local company that does T-shirt printing, but if not just go online. You don’t have to be a graphic designer, just put your idea to the printing company and they’ll create it for you, or choose something off the peg from their selection.

If you’re not the creative type, or want to avoid going OTT and ending up with something just plain rude, here are some ideas on what to go for.

Keep it simple with the name of your stag or hen, the location of the do or where you’re from, the year, and a universal symbol to pull it all together. Girls look great in pink t-shirts with big hearts on or Marilyn Monroe faces, and guys can go for cool black with white text and a rock star silhouette, football theme or even stag antler emblems. It’s the identity that creates the impact and the fun.

Then there are the comedy themes that make everyone who sees you smile, no matter how badly you’re behaving. Girls, get with the movies - what about Charlie’s, or Julie’s Angels, Chicks and the City or My Big Fat Greek Hen Party? There are loads of ways to twist things up.

Guys, Shaving Brian’s Privates? The Great Escape? The Usual Suspects with the names of all of your gang, and/or your faces for each character. Once you’re into it, the possibilities just keep on coming.

Oh, and don’t forget the back of your t-shirt – that’s probably the view most people will get, plus you’ll want to spot your mates in a crowd.

As well as the fun factor, this is a great keep-sake of the hen or stag do. Get everyone to sign it and in years to come you’ll pull it out of the back of the wardrobe or the box with the photo album (get your pictures printed), and relive it all over again.
