I paid A LOT for my son's first birthday banner and have since decided I could certainly do them myself.
I'm still very glad I spent the money on this but also glad to know that with a little time and effort I could recreate something similar.
There are lots of pre-made letter options available at craft and office supply stores in different fonts and sizes for $10 and under. This can be the most challenging part of a banner and pre-made letters make this part quick and easy.
I recently made this for my husband's grandmother. For about $30, I purchased all the paper, gross-grain ribbon and pre-cut letters and flowers, and completed it in less than 2 hours.
I had planned for the "We Love You" to hang underneath but it looked great on an adjacent wall.

This leaf banner was a great backdrop above the deck welcoming everyone to the backyard for my son's 2nd birthday bug party.
Onesie cut-outs are great for baby showers and gender reveal parties. Letters, clothespins and rope make this one so cute and so easy.
We're planning a big backyard cook-out for Memorial Day. Any ideas for that one?? Welcome Summer, perhaps?
I continue to say that you are the best hostess, by far, I have ever met. The "Welcome Summer" banner? With sun cut-outs and flags? :) I can hardly wait to see what you come up with.
