I love using my calendar on my phone and I love time blocking out my week…but what I love even more is seeing our family’s big overview of the year.
I didn’t really have a way to see a year long overview I needed. Truth is, I wasn’t in need of a place to write our day to day calendar events and appointments (as I mentioned before I use my iPhone for that), but what I needed was a place to view our major events–like days off school, vacations, work-travel time blocks, summer camps and more.
Large Wall Calendar
I needed a quick-glance year long calendar. The extra large wall calendar would be perfect for our mud room. It’s in a great location for everyone to see and know what is going on.
SUPPLIES:
- calendar download (use the link at the bottom of the post)
- washi tape (optional)
- mounting dots
- dry erase markers
Now you can download and print one for your home too. The best part is that you can print this huge wall calendar just $5! Here’s how:
You can head to the Staples or your local UPS store, Upload the file and and get it printed in a color 2′ x 3′ engineering print! (You can also upload via their website for even more convenience!) The key here is to get the engineering print, they are very inexpensive! Take a peek at it:
Next, I decided to “hang” our wall calendar with mounting dots but you could also use washi tape. It’s gentle enough to not hurt the painted walls and strong enough to hold up the poster.
Some of you might want the flexibility of changing the dates of events you add to the calendar. That’s easy too! Now, don’t just stop by printing the calendar at Staples or the UPS store, but have them laminate it too.
After it’s laminated, you can use dry erase markers to add your events to the calendar–use a damp rag to erase and move them if necessary.

Awesome calendar!
Thank you so, so much for this printable! I downloaded and edited it to include all the family birthday & anniversaries, school holidays, etc. and have sent it off to Staples to have it printed. I can hardly wait to pick it up
AWESOME! Great idea to add to it before printing!!
I went to UPS.com and under “Services” I can’t find any printing services offered. Did you mean FedEx? I’m going to try Staples because there is one fairly close to where I work. I was just really hoping that the UPS by me could print stuff!
Thank you for this. I look forward to planning out next year with my family on this great document!
You will want to go to https://www.theupsstore.com/ . I didn’t see the exact option to print as a poster–simply call or go to the store and ask for an architect print–it will cost approx. $5 to print!
