Custom Family Vacation Trip Shirts for Your Next Getaway
Quick Answer- Family vacation shirts are for a single household or small family unit traveling together, not a full extended-family reunion.
- Common trips: beach weeks, theme parks, road trips, and ski trips.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops sizes run adult and youth so parents and kids can order the same design in their own size.
- One parent sets up the design, and each family member orders their own shirt in their own size.
A family vacation shirt is a smaller, simpler version of the extended family reunion shirt. It is one household, usually parents and kids, wanting a matching design for a beach week, a theme park trip, a ski week, or a long road trip. The goal is usually a good group photo and a shirt the kids will actually wear again after the trip, not a big production. Here is how to put one together in an afternoon.
Common Family Trips That Want a Matching Shirt
- Beach and lake weeks. Bright colors and a destination name print well and photograph well against sand or water.
- Theme park trips. Matching shirts make a family easy to spot in a crowd and easy to find in photos.
- Road trips. A route or destination line ("Road Trip 2026") works for a multi-stop trip without a single fixed location.
- Ski and winter trips. Hoodies and long sleeves stand in for the tee as the matching piece.

Sizing an Adult-to-Toddler Family in One Order
| Family member | Piece | VIP base |
| Parents | Airlume cotton tee, adult sizing | $19.88 |
| Kids and teens | Youth Airlume cotton tee | $19.88 |
| Whole family, cool destination | Comfort soft hoodie (adult) / Youth hoodie | $36.88 / $36.88 |
The same design applies to the adult and youth version of the tee at the same base price, so a family of five can order five different sizes off the same product listing.
Setting Up the Family Shop in an Afternoon
- Sign up free (3 live products, $0/mo) since most family trips only need one or two designs.
- Upload the family vacation design as a transparent PNG.
- List the adult tee and youth tee under the same design.
- Order directly, or share the link with a spouse or older kids to place their own order.
There is no need to guess every family member's size in advance. Each person orders their own exact size, which matters most for growing kids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do youth sizes cost the same as adult sizes?
Yes, the youth Airlume cotton tee and the adult version are both $19.88 VIP base, so a family orders across all ages at the same per-piece price.
Do we need to know every family member's size before ordering?
No. Each family member can order their own size directly, which avoids guessing on a fast-growing kid's size months ahead of the trip.
Whats a good design for a family that does not want to look matchy-matchy?
Some families skip a printed design and just order the same shirt color across the family. It reads as coordinated in photos without an obvious matching graphic.
How is this different from a family reunion shirt?
A family reunion shirt usually covers an extended, multi-generational family event. This is built for a single household or immediate family taking a trip together, a smaller and simpler version of the same idea.
