What age do you stop with "cutesy" birthday attire?

I'm debating whether or not to get Ryan a "3" t-shirt for his party, or just a dress shirt (probably a RL Rugby or something since no need to be in a button down).
I asked him what he wants to wear and he pulled out some raggedy play shirt that's getting small Chat Icon So I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on a special outfit when he seems to want to wear sweats and an old t-shirt .

Boy Mommys - how long did you do the "themed" party outfit??

Well I knew that would be YOUR answer QUEEN of themes Chat Icon

So we're going for cute, not handsome? I feel like all the Etsy stuff is corny.

I really think the fact that I'm a boy mommy influences this - if I had a girl I might be more "into" it. Chat Icon

I vote for the 3 shirt.

But I worship at the altar of Tine73 and I'm not even a little ashamed to say it out loud. Chat Icon

My brain is EXPLODING with my theme for Luke's birthday. Yeah, I know he's only going to be 1 but still. I get control for at least 3 years.

Ok, something like this I can do - he likes dinosaurs, but party is at Wood Kindgdom so not "theme" related, but it's not like I'm going to get him a bounce house tee.
What do we think??

I like it! My DS just turned 3 and I got him a thomas train '3' shirt from etsy--he loves that shirt and asks to wear it all the time! One party we went to the little boy had a dinosaur shirt that said something like 'triceratop this, i am turning 3' that was cute too.

I really like the last one you posted. They're all cute but the last one is more classic. I think it suits YOUR style more too.

I think I might try my creative hand and make him something. And have the last one as my fall back Chat Icon
I foresee many a challenged birthdays - searching for classic, and not too cute - perhaps I should learn how to make what I like Chat Icon

I bought that classic raglan off etsy last year for his 2nd, and am considering it again for 3.

Its adorable, and can be worn on any day - not only his birthday.

Those shirts are cute, I didn't know they existed, I only did a first birthday shirt. Chat Icon

I say you get to choose as long as he lets you, so get the three shirt!

I'd say if that's your style, until HE tells you he doesn't want to wear it -

I am pulling rank and keeping my wardrobe control for as long as humanly possible ! I know there will come a day when he refuses to wear something and wants to pick out his own stuff -

He already is very particular about what he wears and it's not good Chat Icon
You should have seen him selecting his outfit for today - he threw a fit yelling, "I can't make a decision" (about red shirt vs. guitar shirt Chat Icon ) and when I offered to help he said it was his job Chat Icon
I think I introduced choices too early in my household Chat Icon

Definitely do a "3" shirt! Love the raglan or I have a camo 3T "3" shirt worn once that you can have!
