Colors
-
Decorate the birthday banner with the guest of honor's favorite colors. If your daughter wants to have a pink princess party, choose fuchsia or hot pink paper to display the silver or purple letters that spell "Happy Birthday (child's name)." A banner for a coworker whose birthday falls on or near Valentine's Day may appreciate a banner in a soft pink or deep red color, adorned with black or white letters.
Shapes
-
The birthday banner you select for the guest of honor doesn't have to be shaped like a long strip of paper. For instance, a banner in the likeness of an over-sized cupcake is fitting for a birthday party with a cupcake theme. Use the base of the cupcake to display your birthday message. If your child loves doing magic tricks and you're hosting a magic-themed celebration for him, a banner shaped like a wizard hat can be one of the most eye-catching decorations at the party. Birthday banners shaped like numbers are appropriate for milestone birthdays, such as a first birthday, sixteenth birthday, a loved one turning 21 or a significant age like 30, 40 or 50.

Borders
-
Create a border that adds texture to the birthday banner and fits the party theme or matches your loved one's interests. For instance, a border of seashells and plastic seahorses and starfish is fitting for a friend who loves the beach or for a tropical-themed birthday party. A border of glitter, synthetic feathers or plastic jewels is ideal for a family member who loves glamorous fashion. A sports enthusiast celebrating a birthday will appreciate a birthday banner border of football or basketball stickers or emblems of his favorite team.
Accents and Patterns
-
Patterned paper can add more color to the birthday banner, making it one of the party's main features. A polka-dot banner is great for a birthday girl who enjoys the pattern; a black and white polka-dotted birthday banner will stand out against neon, large paper letters. A birthday banner in a tie dye pattern is appropriate for a 70s party; brightly colored letters adorning the banner will make the decorations complete. Use metallic or fringed banner paper for a shiny birthday message, and add large balloons and streamers to each side of the banner to make the decor especially festive.
