Helpful Tips For Making Your Own Welcome Banner
- Consider the Occasion
Are you making the welcome banner for someone who is returning from a brief trip, or for someone who has been on duty overseas? Understanding the reason for the banner will help you craft the perfect message for it.
- Personalize your welcome banner
“Welcome” or “Welcome Home” is nice, but it’s always a great idea to personalize the message with something like “welcome bestie.” Craft a message that will be meaningful to the person being welcomed.
- Consider your decor
Do you have other decorations? Make sure you pick a color or colors that match the decor you already have.
- Know what size you need
How big is the space you will need for your welcome banner? Make sure you create a message that will fit into that space. (Once cut, each printed letter will measure 7.5 x 5.5 inches.)
- Print on cardstock or photo paper
Cardstock paper or photo paper is a little firmer than regular paper. It’s sturdier so it will look better when you hang it up.
