A happy birthday banner is the one decoration almost every party has, so it is worth picking one that matches the rest of the table rather than defaulting to generic. This collection gathers every birthday banner and birthday garland we stock, from soft pastel and rainbow styles for kids to black, gold, and glitter for milestone birthdays.
What size happy birthday banner should I get?
Most happy birthday banners span roughly five to seven feet once hung, which suits a standard mantel, a dessert table, or the wall behind a cake. Because the letters usually slide along a ribbon or twine, you can pull them tighter for a narrow space or spread them wider to fill a bigger wall. Check the individual product page for the exact length.
How do you hang a birthday banner?
Removable adhesive strips or hooks at each end are the easiest method and the least likely to mark paint. Anchor both ends first, then adjust the letter spacing along the string so the swag sits even. For a banner hung over a fringe backdrop, tape the backdrop up first and let the banner sit in front of it.
Choosing a banner for a milestone birthday
Milestone years tend to call for a specific number rather than the word birthday, so pair a cheers to 40 or dirty thirty banner with a coordinating garland instead of a generic one. Black, gold, and glitter finishes photograph well for adult parties. For a first birthday, felt and pastel paper styles are softer and reusable for photos afterward.
