Custom Photo Blankets
The custom photo blanket that holds the memory —senior night, graduation, family, and tribute
Make-A-Ball custom photo blankets turn the most important photos of a life into a soft, durable keepsake meant to be wrapped around, slept under, and passed down. Designed with your photos, names, dates, and dedication messages, then printed in full color on premium throw-blanket and sherpa material that holds its color through every wash, our photo blankets are the keepsake you reach for at the end of a senior season, the graduation party, the lake house weekend — and the gift that means the most when a family is honoring someone they've lost.
Our photo blankets and sherpa blankets reproduce single portraits, multi-photo collages, throughout-the-years photo arrangements, and full-family pictures with the kind of fidelity that turns the blanket into the photo album you can wrap around yourself. Our memorial blankets are a thoughtful, dignified tribute keepsake — designed with the same care our customers bring to their orders. And our senior night blankets pair perfectly with the senior night ball, towel, and banner to complete the senior keepsake set.
Every order starts with you uploading your photos and selecting a size. Our design team reviews every order with care and revisions are free until it's exactly right. Most orders are ready in 7-10 business days from our Baltimore facility. With over Over 54,000 five-star reviews from senior night families, graduation gift-givers, and families honoring loved ones, Make-A-Ball is the trusted name in custom photo blankets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Photo Blankets
How long does a custom photo blanket take to ship?
Standard orders ship in 7-10 business days (that's our normal production) from our Baltimore, MD facility. Rush production is available for time-sensitive orders like senior night, graduation, and memorial occasions — contact us for rush pricing and availability before placing your order.
Will the photo fade or run when the blanket is washed?
No. Our photo printing is engineered to hold full color through repeated washing on both standard throw blankets and sherpa blankets. Our customers regularly use their photo blankets for years on couches, in dorm rooms, and on family beds with no fade or color loss. We recommend cold-water wash and tumble-dry low for best long-term care.
What sizes and materials do the blankets come in?
Our most popular size is throw-blanket (approximately 50x60 inches), available in both standard plush and ultra-soft sherpa. We also offer twin-size and queen-size for full bed coverage. Contact us if you need a non-standard size for a specific occasion.
What's the difference between a standard photo blanket and a sherpa blanket?
Standard photo blankets are smooth plush material — ideal for couch throws and lightweight comfort. Sherpa blankets have a soft, fluffy fleece backing for extra warmth — popular for graduation gifts, dorm-room use, and family keepsakes. Both print the photo with the same full-color fidelity.
Can I include multiple photos on a single blanket?
Yes. Our designer supports single-photo, multi-photo collage, throughout-the-years layouts, and senior portrait + family photo combinations. The blanket surface gives you plenty of room — most senior night and graduation blanket orders include 6–12 photos along with names, dates, and dedication text.
How does the design and proof process work — especially for memorial orders?
For straightforward designs you build yourself in our designer, no proof is needed — your design previews exactly as it will print. For custom designs, complex collages, or memorial orders, we'll create a digital proof for your approval before production starts. We treat memorial orders with the attention every family deserves, and revisions are free until you're satisfied.
