Graduation Banners

You can start with the grad's name and class year on the graduation banner, then add a congratulatory message. A simple "Congrats Grad!" gets straight to the point, but feel free to get more creative. Including a photo of the grad will make your banner stand out and make your grad feel extra special.

If it's a graduation banner poster, the typical size is 5-6ft wide x 2-3ft tall. If it's a grad banner on a string, the typical length is 10-12ft long.

Vinyl is best for poster-style graduation banners because it holds up well indoors or outdoors, so you can leave it up for weeks. Vinyl also makes colors and images appear clear, crisp, and vibrant. For string-up banners, cardstock or plastic work equally well, depending on the look you want.

Make sure you hang up your banner where it'll have the most effect. At the entrance of your graduation party is always a good choice, but you can also hang it above the gifts or book signing table, the buffet table, or simply in a central, elevated position where all your guests can see it.
