"Celebrate Express does the BEST banners. I've ordered one every year for the last 5 years. They're very thick and sturdy. I ordered one from a competitor this year, too, and it is just paper and I'm worried about it tearing. This was my first year to upload a picture and it looks so expensive and professional on there. My only minor complaint is that the letter maximum is too low. I couldn't get all that I wanted on there, yet it looks like there should have been plenty of space (the wording I ultimately chose has lots of blank space on either side). I still love it, though, and I'm sure I'll get lots of oohs and ahhs this weekend."
