Make him feel special with these 30th birthday wishes for him.

Forget plain old birthday messages and go big with a bold birthday banner that reflects his personality. Hang it up at the party or send a digital version he can proudly show off.

To make a banner that isn’t just another birthday decoration, pick a theme that aligns with the celebrant’s interests and style. This helps enhance the banner’s impact. For example, if he prefers a simple and classy look, consider opting for a minimalist design with elegant typography. Also, think about matching your banner’s design to the party décor to create a cohesive look.

Speaking of making a mark, why not make a graffiti-inspired street art banner? Add spray paint-inspired photos, backgrounds, design assets, and even audio clips. Use the Adobe Express search bar and type in “spray paint.”

Go old-school—kind of—with a personalized wax-sealed letter. Use the letter templates from Adobe Express and print your chosen design on parchment or “aged” paper. This tutorial from @UglyMcGregor on YouTube shows you a quick and easy way to create aged paper for your letters and other creative projects.
