How To Make a Birthday Banner

A festive banner is the perfect decoration for birthday parties, showers, anniversaries, receptions, welcome homes, graduations and much more! Printable labels make lettering a breeze, but you can also hand write your phrase (we recommend practicing on a plain sheet of paper first to get your lettering right).

Once you decide on the phrase for your banner – “Just Married”, “Happy Birthday”, “Welcome Home” – follow the steps below to make this easy party decoration.
