When Should You Order Christmas Pajamas? Plan Backward from Your Photo Date
Your family photo may happen weeks before Christmas Day. Perhaps the grandparents are visiting in early December, or the children want matching pajamas for the first holiday movie. Use that earlier occasion as the date to have everything ready, then work backward with time to open and check the order before everyone gets dressed.
If you have your eye on our Tartan Plaid family pajamas or Christmas Cute Animals design, start by checking the sizes and shipping notice on that product page. Your destination and the items you choose determine the delivery route.
Add processing time before counting transit days

The shorter US estimate applies only to eligible products marked “Ships from the US” and delivered within the US. For other destinations and full details, see our shipping policy. Delivery windows are estimates; holiday volume, customs, weather, and carrier delays can affect arrival.
Work backward in four simple steps
- Choose your ready-to-wear date. Write down the photo appointment, family visit, or pajama night. Use the earliest event you want the outfits for.
- Count the delivery time. Use the upper end of your route's transit estimate and add up to three processing business days. Exclude weekends and holidays when counting backward.
- Leave time to check the order. Give yourself room to open parcels, compare sizes and quantities, and ask us a question if needed. Choose extra time that feels comfortable for your plans.
- Review every selection. Confirm the baby, children, adults, and any pet option individually. One available adult size does not tell you whether all your other choices are available.
For an ordinary US Standard order, the upper ranges add up to fifteen business days: three for processing and twelve for transit. Treat that as a planning starting point rather than a guaranteed latest ordering date. A little extra room is particularly useful around the holidays.
Check the whole cart before you pay
Confirm the delivery address, chosen shipping method, discount, and final charges. Switzerland and Iceland have their own shipping rates. Any destination-specific tax or fee will appear at checkout, so review the total for your address.
Once your order ships, keep the confirmation email and tracking details. Items may occasionally travel separately, with individual tracking numbers. If an order passes its estimated delivery window, email support@werematching.com with your order number so we can help.
