Share the Love or Anti-Love with a Valentine T-Shirt

Well, here it comes, February 14th. Are you ready? Do you have your outfit planned? Are you going out for a romantic evening, or hanging out with the family? Well, if it’s the latter, you might want to outfit the entire family with a Valentine t-shirt!

There are lots of choices available. The most popular colors are pink, purple, red, white and even light blue. Color choice will depend on who’s going to be wearing the shirt.

Kids especially like to wear fun t-shirts to school; it’s easy to outfit them in a tee of their choice for the big day. Kids will like tees that have cute conversational hearts on them, with sayings such as Be Mine, Cute, or Cool. Other t-shirts the kids might enjoy could have a big red heart on the front, with their favorite kind of dog or cat, saying something like, “I Love My Lab!”

For the grown-ups, tees showing Cupid and star-crossed lovers might be desired. Others might bear the saying, “I still believe in love”, “Love is a Two-Way Street”, or “Be My Valentine”.

Young men (or the older guys, too) might choose Valentine’s Day to propose. For those who want a rather whimsical approach, why not try wearing a tee that pops the question for him? He can ask the girl to meet him in a crowded place like the mall, a club, or at a sporting event. Then, he can weave his way through the crowd to her side. Or, maybe he can get himself up on the JumboTron where the whole world can see his intentions.

There are any number of animals associated with Valentine’s Day. Almost any critter can convey a Valentine’s wish. There’s even a shirt out there with a cactus, a porcupine, and the words “True Love”! Teddy bears and kittens are popular choices, but frogs with hearts in their eyes and smooching monkeys can also be found on the more unusual Valentine’s tees.

Some t-shirts are rather simple and understated. They show a simple heart or two; just enough to show that the wearer feels the love. Even the simple word “Love” is enough to let others know that you enjoy the holiday.

Then there are suggestive tees. These shirts display how attractive the wearer of the shirt finds others. Some examples are:
“You’re so hot you’d make the devil sweat”
“If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d U next to I” and
“Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”

Of course, Valentine’s Day, like any other holiday, has its detractors. The cynical, the lonely, the newly single and the folks who have never been in love may all fall into this category. Some folks might choose to express their opinions with:
“Valentines Schmalentines”
“I Never Loved Him Anyway”
“Cupid Rhymes with Stupid”, and there’s always
“I see no reason to celebrate VD”.

No matter your mood or how you feel about February 14th, you can see that there’s a way to express it. Just pull a t-shirt on over your head and let the world know about it!

Make Your Valentine Yours with a Special Valentine’s Day T-Shirt!

Not sure what to get that special someone on Valentine’s Day? Tired of the usual gifts like chocolate, candy, and flowers? Or maybe your Valentine is actually allergic to chocolate and flowers! But you want to show your affection and love on this special day. What’s a sweetheart to do?

Think about this option: if you design a t-shirt for your Valentine, you can show your love, creativity, and commitment all in the same gift. The time and thought you put into the design of the t-shirt will be crystal clear to your Valentine, right off the bat. Better yet, you can customize the t-shirt to your special someone’s tastes; not only are the size and style of the shirt up to you, but you also have endless supplies of choices to make on the images, text, and layout of the t-shirt.

Many people like to start out with a favorite picture of themselves with the object of their affection. Remind your honey of that trip you took to Hawaii, of your wedding day, or of your first date with a picture included into the t-shirt design. You can add a quote about love, or maybe the lyrics to “your” song—the song you share with your Valentine. Don’t have a song? No problem—any song that reminds you of the way your loved one makes you feel, or expresses your feelings to your loved one, will do just fine. If you’re really looking to impress, you could even write your own poem to put on the t-shirt.

For the younger crowd, another Valentine’s Day t-shirt idea would be to make t-shirts for your class! Imagine how surprised your classmates would be to find t-shirts designed by you in their Valentine’s bags. I don’t know about you, but that sounds better to me than just another mini candy bar! A t-shirt lasts forever and will remind your classmates of that Valentine’s Day in school.

If you’re planning to make t-shirts for your whole class, you should probably just make one design. This way, everyone’s t-shirts will match, and you won’t go crazy trying to come up with a custom design for each person in your class. Valentine’s Day t-shirts for an entire class probably won’t be as affectionate as a t-shirt you’d make for, say, your husband or wife. But there are still plenty of positive messages to express to your friends and classmates. Try finding a good, classic Valentine’s Day image, of a heart, or Cupid, or even just a design with the colors red, white, and pink. If your class has any kind of slogan or mascot, you could add that. Make sure to put the teacher’s name and the year on the t-shirt too. That way everyone will remember when they got their special Valentine’s Day t-shirts!

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have fun designing your t-shirts. That’s the whole point: to have fun and enjoy giving to the people that are important to you!
