First Birthday Poster Size Guide

Choosing the right first birthday poster size for tables, frames, walls, and social sharing.

Table display: A4 or 8.5x11 inches

For a welcome table or dessert table, A4 (8.3 x 11.7 inches) or standard letter size works well. It's large enough to see from a few feet away but small enough to fit among decorations. Our editor exports in A4 portrait and landscape orientations.

Framed keepsake: 11x14 or 16x20 inches

For nursery walls or living room display, 11x14 or 16x20 inches makes a statement. These sizes require higher resolution — use our Pro export for 300 DPI quality. The first birthday poster becomes a piece of art, not just a party decoration.

Large format: 18x24 or A2

For party backdrops or entrance displays, 18x24 inches or A2 creates impact. These sizes need professional printing. Design your first birthday poster in landscape orientation for maximum visual effect at this scale.

Social sharing: square 1:1 or 4:5

For Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp, square (1:1) or vertical (4:5) formats display best. Our editor includes these ratios specifically for social sharing. The same first birthday poster design can be exported in multiple sizes for different uses.
