The complete guide
A birth poster of the day they arrived.
A birth poster sets your baby’s name and birth details beside a piece of art — the real night sky, the figure drawn at their true length, a watercolor animal or a line motif. Here’s what goes on one, and how to make your own.

What goes on it
The details, and the art.
Every birth poster pairs the facts of the day — set in calm editorial type — with one piece of art. You decide how much to include; the name and date alone already make a lovely print.
- The name
- Set largest in the display serif — the anchor of the whole poster.
- Date & time
- The day, and the exact minute if you have it, written in full beneath the name.
- Weight & length
- Their first measurements, in your choice of metric or imperial units.
- Place of birth
- The city — which also fixes the star map’s horizon when you choose that style.
- The art
- One of four: the night sky, the 1:1 figure, a watercolor animal, or a line motif.

Questions
About birth posters.
What is a birth poster?
A birth poster is a framed print that records a baby’s arrival — their name and birth details set in type, paired with a piece of art. Ours come in four styles: the real night sky overhead, the baby drawn 1:1 at their birth length, a hand-painted watercolor animal, or a quiet line motif.
What goes on a birth poster?
At minimum the name and birth date. You can add the time, weight, length and place of birth, and the art you choose sits above it all. The star map also uses the time and place to compute the actual sky; the figure uses the length to draw the baby true to size.
How do I make my own birth poster?
Enter the birth details in the editor, choose one of the four styles and a palette, and the poster builds live as you type. When it looks right, download an instant high-resolution print-ready PDF — no account, no waiting.
Is the birth poster a physical print or a file?
A file — a print-ready PDF you download for $9. You print it at home or at any local or online lab, which keeps it inexpensive and lets you choose your own paper and frame. The PDF comes sized for 50 × 70 cm, A2 and A3 frames.
Which birth poster style should I choose?
If you want the keepsake nobody expects, the life-size figure; for a quiet, accurate record of the moment, the star map; for the nursery wall, a watercolor animal or a line motif. Each has its own page below if you’d like to look closer.
