Anniversaries are special events that deserve recognition and celebration and one way to commemorate an anniversary is with special t-shirts for him and her. Anniversary t-shirts can be bought by couples themselves who want to show their success to the public by wearing matching anniversary t-shirts, or t-shirts can be given to the couple as a gift. The text and imagery on an anniversary t-shirt can be sentimental, humorous or can reference special memories. Pre-printed anniversary t-shirts are widely available from gift suppliers or can be customized by you by designing your shirts online with a printing company. - A sentimental anniversary t-shirt is simple and purely a commemoration of the anniversary and a symbol of the couples love. The t-shirt can be printed with a simple phrase, such as "25th Wedding Anniversary" or "50 years," or it can just have the word "Love." It can also have a longer phrase, such as "50 years and still counting. A complimentary image can then be added to symbolize love and express the sentiment of the occasion. Appropriate images include two hearts, two rings, two bells, two doves holding a ribbon in their beaks, hands picking daisy petals or an animal couple such as two swans, two lions or two dogs.
- Bring out the lighthearted side of marriage where you get to lovingly poke fun with a humorous anniversary t-shirt. Humorous t-shirts can combine text and image, or can be just text or just an image. Examples of funny phrases that can be printed on an anniversary t-shirt include; "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married...then it was too late;" "Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering;" "The 2nd wedding anniversary is cotton...this is my gift;" and "A person is incomplete until married. After that, they're finished." Examples of funny images include a cartoon illustration of the couple (which can be drawn from a photograph by a caricature artist), images of famous funny couples such as Lady and the Tramp or the Honeymooners, or pictures of charming cartoon animal couples.
- Have a t-shirt made that incites reminiscence about the "good times." This can include a photograph of a special event in the couple's history such as their wedding day, the first time they bought a car or house together, or the birth of a child. Another way to invoke the couple's history is print the shirt with text or imagery of important things happening in the news the day they were married. For example if the couple was married in 1975, the shirt could say, "In 1975 America watched the first episode of "The Jeffersons," saw the Steelers beat the Vikings, heard Barry Manilow sing "Mandy, and celebrated the marriage of (insert names here)." These shirts will have not only the couple, but also those who are close to them, enjoying a trip down memory lane.
