How long should a Happy Birthday banner be for your backdrop wall

Choose a Happy Birthday banner that spans 60% to 75% of your backdrop or table width: a 5–6 foot banner fits a standard 6-foot dessert table, while wide living-room walls need an 8-foot two-line bunting or a banner framed inside a balloon arch.

What height should you hang a birthday banner?

Hang the centre of the banner at eye level, roughly 150–165 cm from the floor, or 25–35 cm above the top of the birthday cake so it frames group photos.

Are felt and cardstock banners reusable?

Yes. Stiff 350 gsm cardstock and stitched felt banners pack flat between two sheets of cardboard and last for five or more birthdays without curling.
