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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTypes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLetter banners\u003c\/strong\u003e — individual pennants you cut and string, so you can spell any name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle panel banners\u003c\/strong\u003e — printed as one strip at a print shop, no cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh chair and cake table banners\u003c\/strong\u003e — smaller, for the dessert table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhoto banners\u003c\/strong\u003e — scan photos of the parents as babies, which always goes down well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAssembling a letter banner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBaby shower banner questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat paper should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e250 to 300 gsm cardstock.
