The black cat spooky birthday design
The scene at the top looks like a picture from a storybook. A sleek black cat walks across the middle with its tail curled into a hook, its big round eyes and tiny pink nose giving it a sweet, curious face. Behind the cat floats a lilac ghost with a happy open mouth, and next to it sits a peach jack-o'-lantern with a grin. A little black spider hangs below the ghost, a bat flaps in the corner, and stars in pink, lilac and peach twinkle all around.
The words come next. On her shirt, a small I'M THE in black is followed by SPOOKY in tall, chunky letters that change color from letter to letter, lilac, pink, peach and back again, then birthday girl in a soft, rounded lowercase with a heart dotting the i. Family shirts use the same style: the title, like MAMA or PAPA, in big pastel letters, a small OF THE, then SPOOKY birthday girl.
Because there is no age on the design, it works for any birthday, a baby's, a fifth or a tenth. It is a great pick for families who want a Halloween theme without anything too scary for little ones.
Black cat shirts for the family
The design comes in four styles:
- Grown-up black cat tees from XS to 4X in a unisex cut, made for Mommy, Daddy, Mimi, Papa, Titi and Tio.
- Kids black cat tees in youth S to XL, for big sisters, big brothers and older cousins.
- Toddler black cat tees in 2T to 5T, where a girl turning two to five finds her birthday shirt.
- The black cat baby bodysuit in newborn to 24 months, with a baby tee option, for a baby birthday girl or baby siblings.
The 24 family titles include Mommy, Mom, Dada, Nana, Gigi, Pop Pop, Aunt, Tio and Godfather, with Spooky Birthday Girl for her. Need another title? Custom family name prints it in those pastel letters.
Planning a black cat spooky birthday party
A cute Halloween party is all about soft colors and friendly characters. Take the palette from the shirts: lilac, pink, peach and black. Pastel balloons mixed with black cat and ghost shapes make a fun wall behind the cake, and paper stars, pastel pumpkins and a little black cat figurine or two finish the table. A sign that says Spooky Birthday Girl in rounded letters is a great photo spot.
For food, try a lilac or pink cake with black cat ears on top, cat face cupcakes with candy eyes, ghost meringues, pastel popcorn and pink lemonade in cups with striped straws. Pumpkin-shaped cheese and crackers or mini pizzas are easy savory options.
Activities can include decorating cat ears headbands, painting small pumpkins in pastel colors, a mummy wrap race with toilet paper, a gentle ghost hunt with paper ghosts hidden around the room, and a costume parade. A black cat piñata full of candy is always a hit.
If the party is close to Halloween, invite guests to come in costume, and set up a small cat corner where kids can draw whiskers on their cheeks with face paint. A pastel pumpkin patch made of painted craft pumpkins gives the toddlers something to carry around and the grown-ups a pretty spot for photos.
For favors, give each child a small treat bag with a pair of cat ears, a few candies and a sticker sheet.
Photos and keepsakes
Line the family up in front of the balloon garland with the birthday girl in the center, and ask everyone to make cat claws with their hands for a silly shot. A second photo of just the kids in their tees with cat ears on looks adorable on the holiday card. Many families keep her shirt in a memory box with a party photo and a candle from the cake.
Styling the black cat outfits
Adults can wear their tees with jeans and a black or lilac cardigan. Dress the birthday girl in her toddler tee and a pink or lilac tutu, striped tights and a cat ears headband. Baby siblings are cute in the bodysuit with black leggings and a little bow.
Sizing the black cat shirts
Every black cat listing ends with an inch size chart. Grown-ups can usually order their everyday size in the loose unisex tee. For toddlers and babies, measure a shirt that fits now, since our bodysuits run a little large.
