For a mixed adult group, a safe size split is about 10% S, 25% M, 30% L, 20% XL, 10% 2XL and 5% 3XL. Skew smaller for women's cuts and younger groups, and larger for men's sports teams. The easiest fix is to let each person choose their own size from a link, so you order exactly what's needed.
A starting split by group size
Use these as a guide when one person orders for everyone:
- 10 people: 1 S, 3 M, 3 L, 2 XL, 1 2XL
- 20 people: 2 S, 5 M, 6 L, 4 XL, 2 2XL, 1 3XL
- 50 people: 5 S, 12 M, 15 L, 10 XL, 5 2XL, 3 3XL
Adjust for who's coming
Bachelorette and girls trips: shift one size down, or use a women's relaxed cut. Families: add kids' sizes. Oversized tees: tell people to take their usual size, the fit is already loose.
Order a few extras?
With print-on-demand you don't need to. Late joiners can order the same design later. Old print shops forced extras because of minimums.
Skip guessing
On Wooray each person picks their own size from the shared link, so nobody ends up with a shirt that doesn't fit.
