Making Birthday Magic with Custom Shirts


All Faith Vazzana wanted was to spend her birthday at Disneyland. What better way to celebrate getting another year older than reminiscing about all the fun things about being young? Together for a little over a year, Faith says her boyfriend, Caesar Robinson, loved the fact that this was the way she wanted to spend her next birthday. “It’s always been his idea since we first started dating… to take me to Disneyland as a romantic gesture.” So, when Faith and Ceasar began planning her special birthday present, they thought that custom shirts would make their trip more fun. Faith says she felt like it would “have a personal touch that other guests at the park didn’t have” and she was right.

Faith got the inspiration for her design by searching online for ideas that others had done and she made it her own by using her favorite color and incorporating their names. She designed the shirts herself using Custom Ink’s Design Lab. “Ordering was so easy and being able to design myself was so fun and gave me the opportunity to do exactly what I envisioned.” Faith says of Caesar’s reaction, “He thought the shirts were hilarious (and accurate) and was super excited to match with me.”

The morning of Faith’s birthday, they woke up early to put on their shirts and their mouse ears and then drove the hour drive to the park while singing karaoke together to wake up. The shirts were a hit at the park. “We got so many compliments from other guests at the park and employees. Many people chuckled as they read them.”

They spent the day reliving their childhoods, enjoying the weather, eating all the themed food they could, and wearing their adorable matching shirts. Faith says, “Ordering through Custom Ink was the best decision and really made the event come together and made my birthday extra special. Thanks to everyone on the Custom Ink team!!”
