Birthday word portraits
A birthday word portrait from MKFrames is the celebrant's photo drawn entirely in words — wishes from family and friends, their qualities, or a short message — with an optional name plate. Word portraits start at ₦15,000 for 8×10; 16×20 (₦30,000) is the most popular gift size. You approve a proof before we print.
Collect wishes from the family WhatsApp group, paste them in, and add a name plate such as “Happy 60th Birthday, Mummy”. Our designer arranges the words and sends you a proof to approve.

- Birthday wishes from family and friends: “Happy birthday Mummy, we love you…”

Birthday frame questions
What size word portrait is best for a birthday gift?
16×20 inches (40×50 cm) is our most popular birthday gift: big enough for the words to read well on a living-room wall and easy to carry to a party. 20×24 or 24×36 makes a statement for milestone birthdays.
Can a birthday word portrait arrive before the party?
Usually, yes. Allow a day for your proof, then production takes 2–3 working days, or 24 hours with rush (₦5,000), and a dispatch rider delivers in about a day in Lagos and Abuja. Order at least five working days before the date, and message us on WhatsApp if your date is tight.
