This lion sage balloon wild one backdrop puts a sweet watercolor lion cub at the center of a baby boy's first birthday, ready to hang behind the cake or the high chair. The cub has a caramel mane streaked with brown and pink cheeks, and he floats beside a soft sage green balloon marked with a white 1, next to WILD in slim charcoal capitals and a flowing script one on a plain white ground.

Each backdrop is printed in the USA once you place your order, on soft, lightweight polyester, with lion art our own team painted in Pennsylvania. It ships without grommets, so hang it with spring clamps on a stand, binder clips on a curtain rod or removable hooks on the wall.

Choose the size by what will stand in front of it. The Small fits behind a high chair, just right for a wild one cake smash, the Medium works as a lion banner over a gift or cake table, the Large spans most of a living room wall, and the XL leaves room for parents, grandparents and siblings in one group photo.

For wild one birthday decorations around it, think sage, cream and peach balloons in an arch or garland, a lion plush or two on the floor, and pampas grass or palm leaves for a safari or jungle first birthday feel. The family shirts in this set carry the same lion, balloon and lettering, so Mom, Dad and the birthday boy match the wall in every shot. It comes folded, and a steamer the day before the party takes the creases out.

Frequently asked questions

What size lion backdrop works for a cake smash?

The Small, 36 by 26 inches, sits right behind a high chair for a cake smash. If the photographer wants more room around the baby, go up to the Medium at 60 by 50 inches.

How do I hang the backdrop without grommets?

Use spring clamps on a backdrop stand, binder clips on a tension rod, or removable adhesive hooks on a wall. The fabric is light, so a few clips along the top edge hold it.

Will the lion backdrop arrive wrinkled?

It ships folded, so expect some creases. A handheld steamer smooths them in a few minutes; skip the iron, since heat can mark the print.

Do the lion wild one shirts match this backdrop?

Yes. The shirts use the same watercolor lion, sage balloon and WILD one lettering, so the family and the backdrop line up in the party photos.
