Why "most likely to" shirts work
The format comes from high-school yearbook superlatives, and it works for a group because it's the same joke told differently for every person. The shirts match in the photo, and up close everyone gets a line that's clearly about them. It's also an easy way to include in-laws and new partners without anyone feeling singled out.
Three ways to use them
Christmas
The biggest season for these shirts by far. Families wear them for the Christmas card photo, the gift exchange or Christmas Eve pajamas. Our 400-line Christmas design has the widest choice, and the 175-line design and ten more Christmas designs each come with their own list. For inspiration, read our 100 "most likely to" Christmas shirt ideas.
Cruises
On a ship, the jokes write themselves: most likely to hit the buffet twice, most likely to get lost looking for the cabin, most likely to come home with a tan line. Our cruise designs, such as the early bird cruise shirt and the drink package shirt, each come with up to 99 lines.
Trips and holidays
A St. Patrick's Day version covers the parade, and the cruisin' together design suits any vacation.
How to pick a line for everyone
- Start with the obvious ones. Everyone has a trait the whole family already jokes about. Use it.
- Keep it kind. The best lines are affectionate: "most likely to fall asleep before midnight" lands better than anything that stings.
- Match the audience. Photos get shared with grandparents and coworkers, so save the edgier lines for the adults-only trip.
- Write your own for the inside jokes. The ready-made lists cover the classics; the custom text option is for the story only your family knows.
- Don't repeat. Keep a shared list as you assign lines so no two people get the same one.
Sizing the whole family
Every design comes in baby bodysuits (0–24 months), toddler, youth and long-sleeve tees, and adult unisex tees up to 4XL. Nearly all add a women's V-neck and Comfort Colors tees, and ten Christmas designs go to adult 5XL. Choose the size and color for each person, then pick their line.
Ordering for a group
Each shirt goes into the cart on its own, with its own size, color and line, so a family of twelve is twelve quick passes through the customizer. Tip: do the adults first, then the kids, so the lines build on each other.
