Personalised party decorations are such a special way to make your celebration unique. One of our most popular products at Katie J Design and Events is our Custom Party Banners. They’re bold, fun, and the perfect way to set the scene for your event. Did you know you can personalise your own banner in Canva using one of our ready-sized, editable templates?
We now have editable Canva templates for our products, including party banners. Start in our Canva Customer Design Studio, choose the matching template for your banner and size, then add your own colours, wording, photos and creative touches. Once your design is ready, download it and upload it with your order through the matching product in our Design with Canva collection. We’ll take care of the professional printing and shipping.
Watch the Tutorial
Follow along with my video to design your own party banner in Canva, from creating your background and adding text to downloading your finished artwork. We now have ready-sized Canva templates to make getting started even easier: open the matching banner template, then follow the same design steps shown in the tutorial. Your canvas size is already set up for you.
Step 1: Open Your Editable Canva Banner Template
Open our Canva Customer Design Studio and choose the banner template that matches the product and size you want to order. The template is already set to the correct artwork dimensions, so you can start designing without manually resizing a blank canvas. Check the matching product description before you begin.
You can also set up your own canvas as shown in the video. Create a custom design in millimetres. The extra-large banner shown in the video is 1500 x 750 mm; always check the dimensions for the product you are ordering.
Step 2: Creating Your Background
Canva offers so many options for backgrounds. You can use their Magic Media AI tool to generate unique images, or browse the Elements tab for graphics that match your theme. In my tutorial, I show you how to create a colourful rainbow background, a pretty butterfly design, and a whimsical fairy banner.
Step 3: Adding Your Text
Add your message using Canva’s text tools. Choose a font that stands out, and use the colour picker to match your text with your design so everything ties together beautifully.
Step 4: Exporting Your Design
Check your wording, spelling, photos and layout. When you’re happy with your banner, click Share in Canva and download your finished design as a high-quality PNG without crop marks. Follow any artwork instructions on the matching product page.
Step 5: Upload Your Design to Katie J Design and Events
Return to our Design with Canva collection and open the matching party banner product. Choose the same size as your template, upload your saved artwork and check the preview before adding it to your cart and checking out. We’ll professionally print your finished banner and ship it to you.
