Thanksgiving Pajamas for the Whole Family, Dog Included

What are the best Thanksgiving pajamas for a family with a dog?

Thanksgiving family pajamas work best when everyone wants to wear them all weekend: the right size, the right sleeve length and a print that gets a laugh at the table. For a household with a dog, that print is the dog’s own face, cut from one photo you upload and repeated all over the fabric. MyDogPics makes these as pajamas for people, so the dog only has to turn up for the picture.

The same photo can go on every order, so matching thanksgiving pajamas for family members of different ages all carry one face. Each product page lists its designs, colors, sizes and options, and some designs take more than one dog, so read the page for the style you like before you choose. Printing is by dye sublimation, which puts the color into the polyester fibers instead of leaving it as a layer on top that can crack or peel.

If you want fall themed pajamas for the whole group, pick one design family and let the dog’s face do the matching. Thanksgiving matching pajamas and cute fall pajamas are mostly a matter of keeping the group in one set, not of adding more decoration.

Which sizes and styles suit adults, kids and toddlers?

A family thanksgiving pajamas order is really several small orders, one per person, so start with the size ranges. Family matching thanksgiving pajamas only work when every size at the table is covered, and the styles below are the ones that cover adults, kids and toddlers. Write one line per person with the style and size, then order thanksgiving pjs for family members straight from that list.

Thanksgiving pajamas for adults

Adult pajama pants run from XS to 5XL in a relaxed fit that works for men and women, so one style can serve a couple or two siblings. When you shop for thanksgiving pajamas adults will keep wearing after the holiday, the full-length pants are the practical pick, because the elastic ankle cuffs keep warmth in and let you adjust the leg length. Every thanksgiving pajamas adult size is listed on the product page of the style you choose.

Women’s Thanksgiving pajamas and plus sizes

Women’s thanksgiving pajamas come as long-sleeve sets with full-length pants, as short-sleeve sets, or as a shirt dress. The pants and sets reach 5XL and the dress reaches 3XL, so plus size fall pajamas come from the same styles as every other size: check the chart for your own measurements. Thanksgiving pajamas for women who run warm can be a short-sleeve set, while a long-sleeve set suits a cold house.

Toddler Thanksgiving pajamas and children’s sizes

Thanksgiving pajamas toddler sizes begin at 2Y in the kids pajama pants, and the elastic ankle cuffs let you adjust the leg length as the child grows. Measure first when you order thanksgiving toddler pajamas, because a wrong size chosen at checkout is not covered by the remake-or-refund promise.

Children’s thanksgiving pajamas continue up to 10Y in the same pants, and the kids satin set covers 4Y to 10Y and Youth S–M for older kids who want a button-up top. The pants fit boys and girls alike, so boys thanksgiving pajamas and girls’ sets come from one size chart.

How do you prepare the dog photo for the pajamas?

The print is cut from one close-up of the dog, so take that picture before the house fills up with guests and cooking. Sharp focus on the eyes and nose matters most, with the whole head in frame: both ears, the top of the head and the chin.

Use soft daylight, without harsh shadows or a bright window behind the dog. Send the original file from your phone, not a screenshot or a photo saved from a chat app, and keep it to one dog per photo that you own or have permission to use.

The American Kennel Club’s photo tips say to shoot at eye level, bring toys and rewards to put the dog at ease, and photograph in shade or during golden hour, the first hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset. The AKC also says to stop at signs of stress such as pinned-back ears, a droopy tail, lip licking or shaking.

Faces repeat across the whole fabric, so a close-up works better than a shot from across the room. Heavy filters are one of the things the 30-day remake-or-refund promise does not cover, so send the unedited original.

MyDogPics checks every photo before printing, and if one is too small, dark or blurry we email you for another one first. There is no proof step, so that check is the safeguard, and the photo guide shows the difference between a print-ready close-up and a shot that will blur.

How do you plan the pajama-and-pie morning?

Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November, which gives the weekend a natural shape: Thursday morning, a quiet Friday and a slow Saturday. Wear the pajamas for breakfast before the cooking starts, again for a Friday movie night, and a third time for leftovers on the sofa.

Because every set is made to order after checkout, plan backward from that Thursday instead of forward from the day you finish browsing. The shipping page has current production and delivery times, and the photo check can add a step if your picture needs replacing.

A pie on the counter and a dog in the kitchen do not mix, and the table holds several things dogs should not eat. The ASPCA’s Thanksgiving safety tips warn against feeding pets dishes with onions and garlic and desserts with chocolate or xylitol, and the AKC’s list of Thanksgiving foods says to skip turkey bones, skin and gravy as well as pies and sweets.

Take the pie picture first and eat second, with the dish out of the dog’s reach. Leave a bedroom door open so the dog has a quiet place to retreat to when company arrives, as the ASPCA suggests, and empty the trash during the day so curious noses stay out of it.

Taking the Thanksgiving pajamas family photo with the dog

A Thanksgiving pajamas family photo is really two pictures. One is the close-up of the dog for printing, taken ahead of time; the other is the group shot in the finished pajamas, where the dog is a full member of the line-up. Keep them separate, because a group shot is rarely sharp enough on the dog’s face to print from.

• The sofa pile. Everyone squeezed on, the dog across two laps, the phone propped at the dog’s eye level on a timer.
• The floor line-up. Thanksgiving family pjs look best in a row, with the smallest child next to the dog so the two sit at the same height.
• The breakfast table. Everyone in matching family pajamas Thanksgiving morning, the pie in the middle of the table and the dog on the floor beside its handler, well away from the food.
• The two-and-a-dog triangle. Sit on the floor with the dog between you and let the phone catch all three faces.

Make one person the dog’s handler, standing behind the phone with a treat or a toy to pull its gaze to the lens, and use the self-timer and your phone’s burst mode so the photographer can join in. End the session at the first pinned-back ears or lip licking, because the photos can wait until Friday.

Fall pajamas for the weeks after the holiday: couples, autumn nights, cozy sets

The same pajamas keep working long after the turkey is gone, which is why many families treat them as fall pajamas first and Thanksgiving pajamas second. Autumn pajamas earn their place on the first cold evening, not only on Thursday, so pick a style you will reach for on an ordinary night.

If you want cozy fall pajamas, look at the styles with long sleeves and full-length pants. The stretch knit pants use a 4-way stretch fabric with elastic ankle cuffs that keep warmth in, and the satin sets pair a long-sleeve button-up shirt with full-length pants.

Fall family pajamas do not need identical cuts. The adults can take the stretch pants or a satin set, the kids can take kids pajama pants or the kids satin set, and everyone still carries the same face, which is all that family fall pajamas need to read as a set.

The smallest person sets the size range. Toddler fall pajamas start with the kids pajama pants at size 2Y, because the satin set begins at 4Y. Fall toddler pajamas get outgrown quickly, so the elastic ankle cuffs, which adjust the leg length, matter more here than on an adult pair.

For couples, matching fall pajamas for couples can be as simple as two pairs of adult pajama pants made from one shared dog photo. Because the pants are a relaxed, unisex fit, the same style works for both of you. Thanksgiving pajamas women wear on Thursday can become an ordinary autumn evening pair by Monday.

Fall matching pajamas are easiest to plan when one dog photo feeds every order, and matching fall pjs for a group stay on theme even when the cuts differ. Family matching fall pajamas also photograph well in a row, because the same face repeats across every set.

Autumn pjs also make an easy early present for a dog lover with a fall birthday, ordered alongside the family sets. If the family also wants Christmas pictures, our Christmas pajama photo ideas with the dog uses the same close-up.

When should you order, and what happens after checkout?

Order first and plan the photo second. Every set is made to order after you check out, then shipped with USPS tracking to US addresses, and current production and delivery times are on the shipping page.

Build in slack for the photo check: if a picture is too small, dark or blurry, we email you for a better one before printing. If you spot a mistake, email us within 12 hours of ordering, before the order goes to print.

You get free US shipping on every order, and if a print defect, a wrong item or damage on the way turns up, you have 30 days from delivery to ask for a remake or a refund. The quality of the uploaded photo and a wrong size chosen at checkout are not covered, so use the size charts and the how it works page before you pay.
