Ramadan is a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and generosity, and for many families it is also a time of decorating the home and sharing food with neighbours. A door hanger is a lovely, simple way to mark the month: it greets everyone who visits, tells neighbours of other faiths what the household is celebrating and, with a small invitation, can turn the front door into a place of community. This design is calm and festive at once, with deep navy, warm gold and soft teal.
Lanterns, Arch and Crescent
The 4.25 x 11-inch hanger is single-sided. Its navy background carries a faint gold Moroccan lattice texture, like a carved screen. Three golden lanterns hang from the top edge on thin strings, at different heights: a large one on the left, a small one beside it, and a medium one on the right. Each has a glowing amber body, gold ribs, a pointed cap, and a small finial underneath.
Below the handle hole, a tall arched window, outlined in gold and filled with deep teal, takes up most of the hanger. Inside the arch sits a golden crescent moon with three small stars. Underneath, ????? ???? is written in Amiri, a classical Arabic typeface, followed by Ramadan in Cinzel capitals and KAREEM widely spaced in gold, with a thin gold rule. An italic line in Amiri reads From our home to yours, wishing you a blessed and peaceful month, signed The Rahman Family. Below the arch, a gold line separates a note, Iftar sweets at our door every evening at sunset, from a small logo.
The Moroccan Lattice Is a Background Pattern
The faint geometric lattice is made with the editor’s background Pattern feature, using the Moroccan pattern in gold at low opacity. Open Backgrounds, Pattern to make it stronger or fainter, change its colour, or remove it. It stays locked behind everything else, so you can edit text and shapes freely on top.
Greetings You Can Use
| Greeting | Meaning | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Ramadan Kareem | Generous Ramadan | Throughout the month |
| Ramadan Mubarak | Blessed Ramadan | Throughout the month |
| Eid Mubarak | Blessed Eid | At the end of Ramadan |
| Iftar mubarak | Blessed breaking of the fast | At sunset meals |
Click the greeting lines to change them. The Arabic line uses right-to-left text; if you type a different Arabic phrase, check it in the preview before printing.
Personalising the Family Name and Message
Replace The Rahman Family with your family name and adapt the message. Some families write a short prayer or a line in their own language; others keep it simple. Keep the message to two or three lines so it stays readable inside the arch.
An Invitation to Neighbours
The small line at the bottom, Iftar sweets at our door every evening at sunset, turns the hanger into a gentle invitation. Change it to suit your plans: Neighbours welcome for iftar on Friday, Dates and sweets on our porch, or Ask us about Ramadan. Many families find that sharing food with neighbours, whatever their faith, is one of the warmest parts of the month.
Turning It into an Eid Hanger
At the end of Ramadan, the same design works for Eid al-Fitr. Change the Arabic line to ??? ?????, the English line to Eid Mubarak, and the message to a celebration greeting. The lanterns and crescent fit both occasions, so one design serves the whole season.
Recolouring the Lanterns and Arch
Each lantern is a group of simple shapes. Use the group colour swatches to change the glow from amber to rose or turquoise, or the metal from gold to silver. The arch is two shapes, a gold outline and a teal fill; change the teal to emerald, burgundy, or deep purple for a different mood.
Hanging It During the Month
Hang the sign from the first night of Ramadan, on the front door or the door of a prayer room in the home. Because it is printed on card, it will last the month if kept out of the rain; laminate it if your door faces the weather.
For Mosques, Schools and Community Centres
Mosques and Islamic centres can print a batch for families, with the centre’s name in place of the family signature and iftar times on the bottom line. Schools can use it to explain Ramadan to classmates, and community centres can share it to invite neighbours to an open iftar.
Explaining Ramadan to Curious Neighbours
Neighbours who don’t celebrate Ramadan often appreciate a simple explanation. A short line on the back of a second page, such as: During Ramadan we fast from dawn to sunset and break our fast with family each evening, helps them understand why the house is busier after dark and why you may be quieter at midday.
Crafting with Children
Children can help make the hanger special. Print a copy, let them colour extra stars around the arch or glue on sequins, then laminate it. Some families make a new hanger each year and keep the old ones as a Ramadan memory collection.
Matte Card and Gold Foil for Ramadan
For the best result, download as a PDF and print on heavy matte card; gold reads warmly on a matte surface. A professional printer can add real gold foil on the lanterns and arch outline if you want something truly special for gifting.
Cutting Around the Lanterns
A dashed circle near the top marks the handle hole, and a dashed slit marks where to cut to the top edge. The slit runs to the right of the hole, clear of the lanterns, so cutting won’t damage them.
A Gift for Friends and Family
Printed and laminated, the hanger makes a thoughtful Ramadan gift alongside a box of dates or sweets. Personalise it with the recipient’s family name before printing for a gift that will be hung year after year.
