A useful church shirt quote starts with a count people have checked, rather than a rough guess about how many families might attend. Choose one organizer to confirm the list and collect corrections before approval.
Use a short, readable message with enough contrast against the garment. Fine lettering and small details may need adjustment for printing. If you want a front design and a back message, send both and identify the location of each.
Discuss a retreat or outreach date early. Screen-printing production is typically 7–10 business days after required approvals; selection, artwork review, payment and any shipping need additional planning. A requested date is reviewed, not automatically guaranteed.
