2. Setup Instructions
The Amscan All Aboard Birthday Letter Banners require minor assembly before display. Follow these steps to prepare your banners:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all banner pieces and string from the packaging. Ensure all letters for "HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY" and "FUN TO BE ONE" are present.
- Prepare String: Locate the provided string or ribbon. If not pre-strung, you will need to thread the letters onto the string.
- String the Letters: Each letter piece has pre-punched holes. Thread the string through these holes to form the desired phrases. Ensure the letters are oriented correctly and spaced evenly. It is recommended to lay the letters out in order before stringing to avoid errors.
- Secure Ends: Once all letters are strung, tie a loop or knot at each end of the string to facilitate hanging.

3. Displaying the Banners
Once assembled, the banners can be displayed in various locations to enhance your celebration. Consider the following for optimal presentation:
- Location: Choose a prominent location such as a wall, doorway, or above a party table. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
- Hanging Method: Use appropriate fasteners like tape, thumbtacks, or small hooks to secure the loops at the ends of the banner strings. Ensure the fasteners are strong enough to hold the banner's weight without damaging the display surface.
- Spacing: Adjust the tension and spacing of the banners to achieve the desired visual effect. The banners are approximately 3.14 meters in length when fully extended.
- Safety: Keep banners away from open flames, heat sources, and areas where they might obstruct pathways or pose a tripping hazard.

4. Care and Storage
To maintain the quality of your Amscan banners, consider the following care and storage guidelines:
- Cleaning: The banners are made of paper. Avoid contact with liquids. If necessary, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use water or cleaning solutions.
- Storage: After use, carefully unstring the letters if desired, or fold the banner neatly. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage. The foldable design allows for compact storage.
- Handling: Handle the paper banners with care to prevent tearing or creasing.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common inquiries regarding the banner:
- Banner Appears Too Large: The banner has an item display length of approximately 3.14 meters. Before hanging, measure your intended display area to ensure adequate space. If space is limited, consider displaying only one of the two banner phrases or arranging them in a multi-tiered fashion.
- Difficulty Stringing Letters: Ensure the string is thin enough to pass through the pre-punched holes. If the string frays, twist the end tightly or use a small piece of tape to create a firm tip for easier threading.
- Letters Not Evenly Spaced: After stringing, gently slide the letters along the string to adjust spacing. Secure the ends once satisfied with the arrangement.
