To hang a party banner, start with the surface you have: a wall, fence, gazebo or backdrop stand. For a banner with eyelets, use suitable hooks, ties or line to support it, then check that it hangs level. Below are practical setup tips and real customer photos to help you choose the right position and style for your celebration.
How to hang a party banner on a wall or stand
On an indoor wall
- Hold the banner in position and mark where the top eyelets sit. Check that the wording is level and visible above the cake table.
- Choose removable hooks or another fixing suitable for the wall surface and the weight of the banner. Follow the fixing manufacturer’s surface-preparation, weight and removal instructions.
- Hang the eyelets from the hooks, or use short lengths of line through the eyelets. Secure the lower corners if needed to stop curling.
If you cannot use wall fixings, a freestanding backdrop stand is a useful option. No adhesive method is guaranteed to leave every painted surface undamaged, so check with the venue before attaching decorations.
On a backdrop stand, fence or gazebo
Use the eyelets to tie the banner to a suitable support with cord, fishing line or reusable ties. Secure it evenly without pulling it so tightly that it distorts. Stabilise a freestanding backdrop according to its instructions, and check outdoor displays for wind before guests arrive.
For the complete setup, follow our step-by-step banner backdrop guide with balloons.
Why Choose a Personalised Party Banner for Your Party Setup?
With over 250 party themes to choose from, our personalised banners cater to every occasion. Each banner is custom made to feature the name and favourite characters or images of your little one, bringing an extra element of surprise and joy to their special day.
From vibrant colour schemes to fun themes like sports, mermaids, and animals, your party will have a cohesive and polished look that everyone will admire.
A personalised banner is also a great way to tie your colour palette, theme and photo opportunities together in one eye catching focal point. When paired with styling elements like foil fringe curtains as a backdrop, balloon garlands, and a styled cake topped with birthday candles, your entire setup instantly feels more complete and professionally styled.
