The Oh What Fun design
At the top, oh what fun is set in chunky, rounded vintage letters that alternate between terracotta, sage green and soft pink, with a small four-point sparkle tucked beside fun. Under it, it is to be runs in a flowing pink script. Then comes the centerpiece: a hand-painted vintage Santa with rosy cheeks, twinkling eyes, a curly white beard and a red hat, whose face takes the place of the O in a big terracotta One. Red and pink polka dots of different sizes are sprinkled all around, like ornaments.
The birthday girl's shirt finishes with a small I'M THE in black capitals and Birthday Girl in a loopy pink script, so the last lines read I'M THE Birthday Girl. Family shirts keep I'M THE, switch the script to Birthday Girl's and set a title below in big terracotta lowercase letters, so Mom wears I'M THE Birthday Girl's mama and Grandpa wears I'M THE Birthday Girl's grandpa.
A birthday that lands at Christmas can feel overshadowed by the holiday, and these shirts give her day its own spotlight while still fitting the season. The family can wear them again for Christmas cards, the tree farm or a visit with Santa.
Oh What Fun shirts for the whole family
The Santa design comes in four styles:
- Oh What Fun Christmas birthday adult shirts, unisex XS to 4X, for Mama and Daddy, both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles and godparents.
- Oh What Fun Christmas birthday kids shirts for school-age siblings and cousins, in youth S to XL.
- Oh What Fun Christmas birthday toddler shirts in 2T to 5T, for the toddlers of the family or a birthday girl who has outgrown baby clothes.
- An Oh What Fun Christmas birthday baby bodysuit sized from newborn, with a baby tee too, for the birthday girl and the other babies.
Twenty-four family titles fill the Name menu, among them Mommy, Dada, Mimi, Nanny, Tio and Godfather; she gets Birthday Girl. Great Grandma, Lola or another title not on the list goes in Custom family name.
Planning a vintage Santa first birthday
A retro Christmas birthday takes its colors straight from the shirts: terracotta, blush pink, sage green, cream and a touch of classic red. Vintage glass ornaments in a bowl, a small tree with old-fashioned bulb lights, candy cane stripes on the cake table and a garland of paper polka dots in the same colors set the scene. A vintage Santa figure, a tin sign or a framed retro Christmas card on the table ties the room back to the design.
For treats, try a cream cake with pink and terracotta sprinkles, a pink smash cake topped with a tiny Santa hat, sugar cookies shaped like ornaments, peppermint bark and hot cocoa with whipped cream. Put out a plate of cookies and a glass of milk for Santa as a sweet photo prop, and send guests home with candy canes tied with pink ribbon. If Santa himself can stop by, even for ten minutes, a photo of him holding the birthday girl in her matching bodysuit becomes the picture everyone asks for.
The best spot for photos is beside the tree or the cake table, with the polka dot garland behind. Since the decorations and the shirts share the same warm vintage colors, the pictures look cozy and pulled together.
What the family wears
Mom and Dad can pair their named tees with jeans and an open cardigan or flannel, and grandparents with a red or cream sweater over the shoulders. Big kids add plaid pants or a tutu. For the cake smash, dress her in the bodysuit with a red tutu and white tights, and switch to the baby tee with plaid leggings when it is time to open presents.
Guests can be invited to wear red, cream, green or plaid, so the whole party looks like an old Christmas postcard. A red velvet bow in her hair and little white shoes finish her outfit, and Dad can add a Santa hat for one silly picture.
Sizes for everyone
Measurements in inches appear on a size chart at the end of each shirt's photos. The unisex adult tee is relaxed: keep your usual size for an easy fit, size down for a closer one or size up to layer over a turtleneck. Girls at their first birthday generally fit 12 or 18 months; measure a bodysuit that fits her today, and if she is in between, choose the bigger size.
Ordering for a big family
The family's shirts can all go in a single cart. Add one, set the next person's name and size, add that one, and keep going. All apparel in your cart is included in the family savings, applied when you check out.
Our printing time is 2 to 5 business days. After that, standard ground shipping usually needs another 3 to 5 business days. Because December is the busiest time of year for packages, ordering at least two weeks before her party is a good idea. Need them by a certain date? Send a request and we'll try to help.
