A birthday greeting in motion
HAPPY BDAY scrolls across the LED Banner display with a glowing frame and birthday stickers.

How to show a birthday message on iPhone

  1. Enter the greeting

    Open LED Banner and type the name or a short message. Try «HAPPY BDAY, SAM!» if the full greeting takes up too much room.

  2. Set the look for the moment

    Use a still display for a photo. For the cake table, try scrolling a longer greeting and slow it down until someone can read a full pass.

  3. Save it and check the screen

    Open the full-screen display in the lighting you’ll have at the party. Save the greeting so it’s ready when the candles come out.

Birthday sign ideas for the cake, photos and guests

Start with the name or the greeting. Pick one thing for people to notice, then choose whether the sign will stay still or scroll.

A still sign for a photo

Try «MAKE A WISH» or «HAPPY BDAY, SAM!». Keep the letters solid and leave space around the name so it still reads when the photo is small.

A scrolling message for the cake table

Try «HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM! WE LOVE YOU». Set the phone or iPad on a stand facing the guests and adjust the speed from where they’ll be watching.

A greeting to send later

If someone is joining from a distance, open the finished greeting in LED Banner and export the animation as a video or GIF to share.

  • Save a short photo version and a longer scrolling version separately.
  • Test the colours under the room’s lights before the party.
Readability tips

What fits on a small iPhone screen?
