Printable Baby Shower Banners
A banner is the backdrop for every photo taken at the shower, which makes it the decoration worth getting right. Printable banners cost a fraction of a custom one and let you spell exactly what you want rather than working with whatever a shop stocked.
Types
- Letter banners — individual pennants you cut and string, so you can spell any name
- Single panel banners — printed as one strip at a print shop, no cutting
- High chair and cake table banners — smaller, for the dessert table
- Photo banners — scan photos of the parents as babies, which always goes down well
Assembling a letter banner
Print on 250 gsm cardstock. Cut along the guides, punch two holes at the top corners, and thread ribbon or twine. Leave about four inches between letters, and use roughly twice the finished length in string so it hangs with a curve rather than a straight line. "OH BABY" comes out around three feet; "WELCOME BABY SMITH" closer to nine.
Baby shower banner questions
What paper should I use?
250 to 300 gsm cardstock. Ordinary paper curls within the hour, especially in a warm room.
How do I hang it?
Small adhesive hooks or washi tape at each end, with the string taped rather than the cardstock. Command strips hold better than drawing pins in most rented spaces.
How long will my banner be?
Roughly six inches per letter including spacing. Measure the wall before you decide on wording.
Can I avoid all the cutting?
Yes. Choose a single panel design and have a print shop produce it as one continuous strip.
Can I reuse it?
Letter banners spelling something generic like "OH BABY" can be stored flat and reused. Anything with a name and date is single use.
