One of the most immediate ways to establish the theme and look of a party is by displaying a large banner on a wall…and lucky for us, Big Dot of Happiness offers banners to match every single one of their party themes—from showers to birthday parties to baptisms! Big Dot’s beautiful, full-color banners are printed on high quality satin photo paper, in a generous 12” x 60” size (some styles are even offered

in an incredible 24” x 120” large size.) And of course, in true Big Dot style, each banner is absolutely customizable—you get two full lines of text (for free!) to help you personalize your banner to your specific event!

Now the obvious, classic way to display your party banner is to simply hang it on a wall—each lightweight (sturdy!) banner can be hung effortlessly with scotch tape or poster putty, and cleanly removed

at the end of your party to become a beautiful keepsake for your guest of honor. Hint: Banner mementos are a wonderful addition to a nursery or a child’s bedroom! However, there are many more “out-of-the-box” ways Big Dot banners can be used at your next party…

•As a Door Hanger: For an eye-catching twist on the usual banner display, hang your banner sideways down a door—either directly adjacent to the party area, or as a warm welcome on your exterior door.

• As a Table Runner: At 12” x 60”, these banners are the absolute perfect size to serve as an amazing table runner. Simply roll your banner out and press it flat with a few heavy books for a day or two before the party, and you’ll be ready to place an unexpected beautiful addition down the middle of your buffet or dinner table! As a variation, this is a great opportunity to invite your guests to sign the banner, perhaps with a short message, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake for the guest of honor.

• Along an Edge: If a table runner is a bit much for your abundant buffet table, you might choose to hang your banner off the edge of your table instead. This look can be particularly lovely if your table is pushed up against a wall—what a beautiful sight your guests will be greeted with as they approach the table! Similarly, these banners are a wonderful size for hanging along the edge of a mantle. Just a few dots of poster putty, and you’re in business!

• Out-of-Doors: While these top-quality banners are designed for indoor use, they are sturdy enough to be hung outdoors on a beautiful day. Similarly, you could staple or tape some small dowels or stiff wires to each end of your banner and pound them into the ground for a truly striking display. (Just remember to bring your banner inside when the shower is over so inclement weather doesn’t claim your beautiful keepsake!)

• Above a “Photo Spot”: Especially ideal at an anniversary party, these banners can be placed above a staged photo area—a place for guests to have their pictures taken, possibly with the guests of honor, under a beautiful personalized banner from Big Dot. These photos can then be assembled into a priceless keepsake album for the happy couple, or even printed and sent out individually in the couple’s thank you notes as a special surprise for each guest.
