Customizable Graphic Banners

the idea

If you don’t have pictures of the guest of honor to make photo banners, decorate large areas with graphic custom party banners

the how

  • Choose one of the existing banner designs, such as the ones pictured below (more available)
  • Customize the text and change colors if required
  • Use to fill large spaces by hanging on walls, above doorways, or as a backdrop to dessert / buffet tables and bars

the why

overhead decorations

  • Visibility; overhead decorations remain visible when the room is full of people
  • Intimacy; lowers the ceiling, reduces empty space, and makes large rooms and cavernous venues feel more full, which helps create a buzzy atmosphere
  • Focal points; decorations above bars, food stations, dance floors, or activities can identify their location in large or crowded rooms and encourage mingling by creating destinations for guests to explore

Perimeter / wall decorations

  • Transformative; helps transform a domestic space or empty venue into a party environment
  • Masking; helps hide or distract from existing or incompatible room dรฉcor
  • Value; can help dress large areas
  • Atmospheric; perimeter decorations are important early on, before the room fills up, to help create a party atmosphere and ensure it feels like a special occasion
  • Economical; can be used sparingly if majority of decorations are clustered around a main feature wall / display area, such as a dessert table and backdrop
  • Intimacy; helps define the party space and envelope guests to create an intimate atmosphere

the why

this idea

  • Special occasions should feel special; generic โ€˜off the shelfโ€™ decorations are lazy and unimaginative
  • Personalized; customized decorations are more special and show you made an effort
  • Funny; quirky, lighthearted, or self-deprecating backdrop designs will make guests smile
  • Memorable; guests remember creative, unusual, or unexpected decorations
  • Elegant; some designs can lend your decorations an elegant and sophisticated touch

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

Banners hung directly onto walls look best if you ‘frame’ or ‘blend’ the edges with additional decoration; such as bunches of balloons at each end or paper decorations.

This helps to blend them in and create a larger display. Otherwise they can look too small and get a bit lost if just plonked on a wall surrounded by a lots of empty space.

Similarly, if using above dessert / buffet tables or bars, line the wall behind the banner with an inexpensive foil curtain, paper garland, or streamer backdrop first so it will stand out against a colorful background and look more substantial.”
