Birthday Squad SVG

One design, many shirts

Whoever is throwing the party needs backup, and backup should be easy to spot in a crowded restaurant. Here the top line is BIRTHDAY in thick teal capitals, and the second line drops into a big, loopy Squad in the same deep teal. Seven short confetti rods tumble around the words in pink, teal and gold: five along the top and one tucked at each lower corner.

The contrast between block letters and script is what makes it feel like a team name rather than a plain label. It leaves the birthday person out on purpose, so the friends get something of their own to wear.

Pieces and weeding

Expect 20 pieces and 8 cut-outs in the solid file. The letters and confetti rods are all separate, so lay transfer tape over vinyl or glue paper down on a backing card, or the rods will wander. Weeding the insides of the letters takes a few minutes, and the rods are simple shapes that need little attention. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in deep indigo: only the solid backing behind each confetti rod, showing as a thin edge
• Pink in candy pink: three of the rods
• Teal in bright sea teal: two of the rods
• Gold in marigold yellow: the last two rods
• Lettering in dark teal: both words, resting on the open page

Batch cutting for a sleepover

Planning shirts or pillowcases for a whole group? Set the design once, then cut every copy from the same roll in a single run so the letters match. Sort the weeded pieces by size and write each friend’s name on the liner, which saves a scramble on the night. Pillowcases take the design well at around 9 inches, and fabric markers can add everybody’s signature underneath.

More ways to rally the group

• Matching tees for the friends or cousins at the table
• Tote bags handed out with snacks and small favors
• Banners for the entry, cut from glitter card and strung on twine
• A photo backdrop that puts the whole gang under one heading
• Party cups and water bottles with a small vinyl decal

Size guide

Don’t scale it under 2.5 inches for cutting, since the tiniest gaps in the artwork begin to close. Printed party-favor stickers can go smaller using Print Then Cut.

Recoloring for your crowd

Try hot pink lettering with white and silver rods for a girls’ night, or black letters with neon rods for a teen party. You can test any combination first with the SVG color guide.
