Why use a digital birthday sign
Instant decoration with a personalized name
Type the birthday person's name and the message appears animated immediately. No ordering a custom banner or waiting for delivery — everything ready in seconds.
Matches any party theme
Pick colors to match the theme: pink for kids' parties, gold for sweet 16, red/black for adult parties. The sign adapts to your décor's look and feel.
Reusable for every party
Not disposable. Every birthday in the family or friend group, just change the name and message. Long-term savings vs. buying new décor each time.
Works on any existing screen
Living-room TV, old phone, kid's tablet, venue projector. The digital sign runs on any device with a browser — nothing new to buy.
When to use a birthday sign
Kids' birthday party
Put the living-room TV showing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY [NAME]" in themed colors (princess, superhero, animals). Kids love seeing their own name flashing on screen during the happy-birthday song.
Adult birthday: 30, 40, or 50 years
Elegant, modern décor for milestone birthdays. Sober colors (black, gold, silver), personalized message, sits as backdrop in photos throughout the party.
Sweet 16 / quinceañera
Message "HAPPY 15 [NAME]" in pink, gold, or the party theme color. Use it on a venue screen so all guests see it during the debutante's entrance.
Instagram stories wishing someone happy birthday
Make an animated sign with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY [NAME]", export as video, post to your story. Far more memorable than a static photo with text.
How to create a birthday sign in 3 steps
1. Type the message with the name
Write "HAPPY BIRTHDAY [NAME]" or your chosen phrase in the simulator text field. Use uppercase to emphasize — the birthday sign shows the text in continuous scroll.
2. Pick theme colors
Pink and gold for kids' or sweet 16 parties, red/black for adult parties, blue/white for baby showers. See the combo live before confirming.
3. Display on the party TV or projector
Open the sign in the TV browser (via Chromecast, HDMI, or smart TV browser). Use fullscreen mode for impact. Let it run throughout the party.
Digital birthday sign vs. paper banner and traditional décor
Is it worth replacing a paper banner or letter balloons with a digital birthday sign? Compare your décor options.
Personalization
Paper banner: name printed once, fixed. Letter balloons: laborious to set up. Digital sign: type the name and it appears animated immediately — no ordering, no waiting.
Reusability
Banners and balloons: disposable, single use. Digital sign: the same screen works for every birthday in the family and friend group, for years.
Total cost
Custom printed décor: $10 to $50 per party. Letter balloons: $20 to $80. Digital sign: zero recurring cost, infinite parties.
Motion and visual impact
Static décor: pretty but passive. Animated digital sign: motion catches guests' eyes and serves as a perfect backdrop for party photos and videos.
Frequently asked questions about birthday signs
How do I personalize the birthday person's name on the sign?
Type the name directly in the simulator's text field, along with the message. Example: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIA" or "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER". The sign shows the full message in continuous scroll.
Can I leave the birthday sign running for the whole party?
Yes. Once the page loads, the sign keeps animating on its own as long as the device is on. Plug it in and let it run throughout the entire birthday party.
Does it work on a TV via Chromecast or HDMI?
Yes. Open the site in Chrome on your computer or phone, cast via Chromecast, or plug the computer into the TV via HDMI. The sign goes fullscreen on the TV.
Can I save the birthday sign as a video for stories?
Yes. The simulator exports as WebM video (~500 KB) or GIF (~370 KB), formats supported by Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok. Use it in your birthday wishes story.
What colors match each party theme?
Princess/kids: pink and gold. Superhero: red/blue/yellow. Sweet 16: pink, gold, white. Sober adult: black, gold, silver. Baby shower: pastel blue or pink. Try combos live in the simulator.
