Ideas for FUnny Family Trip Shirts

[disneymom225]

Ok- Here's the deal. We (me, DH and DD) are DVC members and are going to Disney in Feb for DD's 3rd b-day. My parents went last year and this year are coming again- along with my sister (24), her boyfriend (30-freeloader), my brother (22), and his girlfriend (22 and employed). We are a sarcastic, quirky bunch who (the siblings) were tortured as children when we were required to wear matching outfits on outings (actually sister and brother didnt mind b/c they were young enough not to care- I am 7 years older than sister and 8 years older than brother so I really cared!). Now, it is payback time- I am trying to design a funny shirt to reflect our trip and need some type of slogan or saying or something. I think I am trying to hard to come up with something so I am drawing a blank! My parents did not take us to WDW as kids- we have been as a family (the basic 5) once when I lived there and they stayed in my apartment (hmmm- maybe that's the theme- parents mooching off me ).
I need some help! I am looking to get the shirts made and given as christmas presents so I have time but I need your creative juices!!!!!
Thanks!

Hi Heather,

I really am not that creative, but I have a silly last name...Cowing....so when we went down I did a picture of the old cow that used to be at toontown, it had a mickey formed out of spots. The back of the shirts said Cowing family vacation, we're "milking" it. We got alot of feedback on it and had alot of laughs.
I thought maybe if you have an unusual name you could use some type of pun with it.
Good luck. let us know how it works out.

Had any luck with this yet Heather?

Not yet- I think I am trying TOO hard to be creative and can't come up with anything.

What if your DD's shirt said "Birthday Princess" (with her favorite princess as a graphic) and then everyone else had a different name, like "Court Jester" or "Queen Mother" or something along those lines. Pick something that reflects each person's personality.... or your feelings toward them.

Even if this idea doesn't work, I hope it can maybe spark another idea!

"Matching T-shirt Torture Time"...?

Nah...

Ummm..
"They're With ME!" on Zoe's shirt...and everyone else's:
"Her Mother made us wear it"

Or...
"The Basic Five (with your pictures on the Fab Five characters) and assorted hangers-on"

I like brasswillow's idea too
And those shirts sound cute, Dee!

HTH gets the creative quirky ideas flowing!

I like the idea of "Her mother made me wear this"- I had thought of a variation on this - "My sister made me wear this"- "My boyfriend's sister made me wear this"- "My daughter made me wear this"- etc. So that might work- maybe the front could be a disney picture with "Zoe's 3rd Birthday Celebration" and the back could have the "she made me wear this"- good ideas!!! Thanks!
