Reason 2: Inexpensive and Cheap

Banners can be a really cheap, or at least a less expensive way to get a lot of bang for your buck. Also! You can DIY banners/garlands from paper or fabric, there are tons of free printable banners online, and if you add balloons, they are still cheap but are even more cheery.

Reason 3: Set a Theme or Mood

We’ve already established that banners add color. Or not. They can totally be customized to your theme or mood. A black and white banner can be just as festive and charming as a rainbow-colored one.

Reason 4: Practical and Reusable

Banners are reusable. They take up very little room to store, and can become part of your holiday traditions that you bring out every year. On the other hand, if you aren’t a saver of things, paper banners can be compostable and earth friendly.

Less waste. A whole room can be given a party mood with just a couple of banners. Hang them from corner to corner and make the whole space merry. Then, the after party take down and discards are simple and easy.

Banners make less clutter. You don’t have to be a minimalist to appreciate clean decor. Sometimes more is more, but sometimes it’s just uncomfortable and jumbled. Simplified decorating for a celebration can be more comfy and casual, or even more elegant.

They are appropriate for every holiday and type of celebration from weddings to birthday or graduations parties, to murder mystery parties, or any theme party you can dream up.

Reason 9: Support Creators

It’s great to diy your banners. Or find the perfect banner from a party shop, or online. But for a special occasion, you can also buy banners that support creators on maker sites like Etsy. You can have a custom one-of-a-kind banner that is a work of art if you choose.
