How do I make a custom I love my girlfriend shirt with her photo?

It takes about two minutes, and you see the shirt before you pay.

  1. 1Choose the design, colour and size.
  2. 2Upload a photo. Pick one where her face is well lit, looking at the camera and still sharp when you zoom in. Phone camera photos print well; screenshots and small images saved from social media often print blurry.
  3. 3Check the preview, add a gift message if you like, then order.

We print exactly what the preview shows, so check names and spelling before you place the order.

Picking a size

Buying for him: order his usual t-shirt size.

Buying for yourself and you like a fitted tee: go one size down, since the cut is unisex.

Not sure: lay a t-shirt he already likes flat, measure armpit to armpit, and match it to the width column.

Is an I love my girlfriend shirt a good gift?

Yes, when it suits the moment. Couples online say the same thing again and again: as the only birthday present it can feel like a gift for you rather than him, but as an extra, a joke or a matching pair it lands well.

It works for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, couple trips or no reason at all.

  • Pair it with something he picked out himself, and give the shirt as the fun extra.
  • Get the matching set so you both wear one, which feels less like making him wear a sign.
  • Make it personal: a custom photo or a line only the two of you understand.
  • Add a gift message at checkout and ship it straight to his address.
Valentine’s DayOrder by February 6 for US delivery by February 14.

Matching I love my boyfriend and I love my girlfriend shirts

Most matching shirts online are sold one at a time, which makes it easy to end up with two of the same. Ours are ordered together as a pair, with a separate size for each of you.

Shipping, production and returns

Production

Every shirt is printed to order in the US within 1–2 business days.

Delivery

2–5 business days within the US after printing. We also ship worldwide; delivery outside the US takes longer and depends on the country.

Tracking

You get a tracking link by email as soon as it ships.

Returns

If your shirt arrives misprinted or damaged, we’ll refund or replace it.

How to wash it so the print lasts

Heat is what shrinks cotton and wears down a print, so the settings on the care label make the difference.

  • Turn it inside out.
  • Machine wash cold, max 30°C (90°F), with similar colours.
  • Tumble dry on low, or hang it to dry.
  • No bleach and no dry cleaning.
  • Iron on low, and never directly over the print.

Who makes these shirts

Every design is our own. We don’t use celebrity names, band logos or cartoon characters, so nothing here is a knock-off. Our US print partner makes each shirt to order on Gildan Softstyle blanks.

I love my girlfriend shirt FAQs

What is an I love my girlfriend shirt?

It’s a t-shirt that says “I ♥ my girlfriend”, usually worn by a boyfriend and often bought for him by his girlfriend as a sweet or joke gift. Couples also wear them as matching sets with “I ♥ my boyfriend”.

Can I order just one shirt?

Yes. Every shirt is printed to order, so there’s no minimum and no bulk pricing to work around.

How long does delivery take?

We print your shirt in 1–2 business days, then US delivery takes 2–5 business days. We also ship worldwide, which takes longer depending on the country. You get a tracking link by email when it ships.

What sizes do you have?

Unisex XS to 3XL. Check the size chart above, or measure a t-shirt he already owns flat from armpit to armpit and match the width.

Do you have a women’s fit?

Not yet. The cut is unisex, so if you want a fitted look for yourself, order one size down.

Will the shirt shrink?

Cotton can shrink a little in hot water or a hot dryer. Wash it cold and tumble dry on low, as the care label says, and it stays close to the size you ordered.

Will the print crack or fade?

DTG ink soaks into the cotton instead of sitting on top as a film, so it doesn’t crack or peel like a thick transfer. Like any printed tee, colours soften slowly over many washes; washing inside out and cold slows that down.

Can I put her photo on the back?

Yes. Choose the back print option when you customize, and we print on the front, the back or both.

Can I send it to him as a gift?

Yes. Enter his address at checkout and add a gift message, and it ships straight to him.

Do you sell I love my boyfriend shirts?

Yes, as part of our matching couple sets, ordered together with the girlfriend shirt as a pair.

Can I buy an I love my girlfriend shirt in a store near me?

We sell online only, so there’s no store to visit. We print your shirt in 1–2 business days and deliver it in 2–5 business days in the US.

Do you ship outside the US?

Yes, we ship worldwide. Delivery outside the US takes longer than the 2–5 business days inside the US and depends on the country.

Can I return a custom shirt?

If your shirt arrives misprinted or damaged, we’ll refund or replace it.

Why does my white shirt look slightly off-white?

That’s the fabric, not a fault: Gildan Softstyle white can read as off-white. The Natural colour also has small dark flecks because it’s made with unprocessed cotton.

Is an I love my girlfriend shirt cringe?

A little, and most people who weigh in say it’s cringe and cute at the same time. A design he likes, a matching set or an inside joke only you two get makes it far easier to wear.

Pick a design, or put her photo on it.
