Behind the artwork

About this design

Some folks write love letters. We reach for fries. Our Fries Before Guys design is a cheeky little reminder that your favorite snack deserves top billing, especially when you’re out with friends, planning a Galentine’s get-together, or keeping Valentine’s Day light and funny.

The artwork pairs the bold phrase with a whimsical carton of fries, surrounded by hearts and sparkly accents in playful pinks and reds. It’s flirty, fun, and proudly food-first, because sometimes the best relationship is with crispy fries and your favorite people.

Made for: Fries fans, Galentine’s crews, friend groups, and anyone who likes their Valentine’s Day with a side of humor.

Questions about this design

What’s the vibe behind this artwork?
It’s playful, snack-first humor with a Valentine’s twist. The message is simple: romance is optional, fries are forever. The hearts and sparkly accents keep it cute and upbeat for Galentine’s nights and fun date plans.
What does the fries illustration add to the message?
The big fries graphic turns the slogan into a sweet little spotlight moment for your favorite comfort food. With the hearts around it, it reads like a candy-heart Valentine, but for people who’d rather celebrate friendship and snacks.
How do I choose a size for the Fries Before Guys apparel?
On each product page, click the Size Chart button next to the size options to see the chart for that specific style. If you’re between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up. (Different fits can vary, so the chart is your best guide.)
When will my order ship and arrive?
If you can see it on our site, it’s ready to order. We print after you place your order, and most orders ship the same day or next business day. Most orders usually arrive in about 3 to 4 business days after shipment.
What if I need to return or exchange something?
Our current policy is maintained on our Policies page, and returns are generally accepted within 30 days under that policy. If your item arrived damaged or incorrect, email info@expressiontees.com with your order details and photos when useful.
How should I wash and dry my item to keep the print looking great?
Keep it as fresh as hot fries: Machine wash cold and inside out with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed, and tumble dry on medium. Do not iron and do not dry clean.
How is the design printed, and will the colors look exactly like the mockup?
We print every order after it’s placed using professional heat-press equipment and plastisol transfers. Everything is printed, packed, and shipped by our team in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania (just outside Philadelphia). Mockups match the intended size and placement, but screen and garment colors can make shades look slightly different in person.
Is this a good gift for Valentine’s or Galentine’s?
Yes, especially for the friend who always says yes to fries. It’s a fun pick for Galentine’s hangouts, a casual Valentine’s plan, or anyone who loves cute, pink, snack-themed humor. Add it to a gift bag with a fries run and you’ve got a whole theme.
