Custom Birthday Banners, Painted by Hand
A birthday banner should look like the person it is for. Christina Dittman Creations paints birthday banners from scratch: the name, the age and the things they love, lettered and illustrated by hand on kraft paper. These are the Belton banners that end up framed after the party instead of in the recycling.
Kids' birthday banners
First birthdays, second birthdays, turning five. A kids' banner carries the theme of the party: construction trucks and a road-striped number for a dig-site party, ladybugs and gingham for a garden tea, planets and shooting stars for a space theme. The wording stays short so it reads from across the room and photographs well behind the cake.
Milestone birthdays
Eighteenth, twenty-first, thirtieth, fortieth, fiftieth. Milestone banners lean into personality: a camo border with boots and a cowboy hat, a pair of clinking cans, a cowgirl portrait, a favorite drink. Tell us about the person and the details take care of themselves.
What goes on a birthday banner
Most birthday banners start with the greeting and the name, then build out with three to six illustrations of hobbies, pets, sports, favorite foods or an inside joke. Colors are matched to the party palette or chosen to pop against the kraft background. If the party has a theme, the banner follows it.

How far ahead should I order a birthday banner?
Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable. Shorter timelines are often possible depending on the current queue, so ask - call or text +1 817-729-2961.
Can you match my party colors?
Yes. Send a photo of the invitation, the cake or the decorations and the palette is matched to it.
What size is a typical birthday banner?
Most birthday banners are 36" x 30" or 48" x 30" and hang behind the cake or gift table. Larger 60" x 30" and 36" x 60" sizes work for photo backdrops.
