Knowing how to get the most out of your family holiday is going to mean exploring a variety of avenues when it comes to preparing.

But there are oodles of other benefits associated with this tradition that may cause you to rethink your next vacation.
Want to design your own vacation shirts?
The benefits of this tradition are numerous. One of the most popular reasons to design your own vacation shirts is that it is uniquely yours allowing you to find those tops in a crowd of people. If separated, it is easier to rejoin quickly and safely because you know what you are looking for in a crowd. Another benefit is that if the unexpected does happen and a child is lost, you have other tops you can show officials in the search for your child. Of course, one cannot deny the wonderful keepsake those tops will make after the vacation is over. Perfect for a scrapbook or just as a family heirloom!
Choosing to design your own vacation shirts can be a lot of fun too. This is actually an activity you can get the kids involved in as well. Sit back, explore a variety of premade designs or create your own designs. Let the kids pick the design or even the color of the tops used for this purpose. Another wonderful reason to get the kids involved is that you will find less resistance when it actually comes to wearing that particular top.
Many families actually choose one type of top for the whole family, but you can easily find tops each family member prefers such as a long sleeved shit, short sleeved short, tank top, or other styles of tops. This will be great as long as the colors are all the same. Bringing a favorite style to each family member will also allow all members to feel a part of the decision making process.
When you do design your own vacation shirts, there are a few safety tips to keep in mind:
Do NOT place identifying information such as first name, surname, or address on the tops in a visible location. Predators can use this information to lure children away from their parents. It is always best to err on the side of caution.
Choose shirt styles that are appropriate for the destination environment. If you are headed to Florida, chances are good you do not need a sweatshirt or long sleeved top.
When you design your own vacation shirts, make sure not to include any racial or prejudice slogans, logos, or statements. You can always design your own tops just to ensure what you are creating is not going to insult your host city and/or country.
If traveling out of the country, check with appropriate attire for genders and ages.
