Looking for good way to display family tree/record for my niece's 21st

I want to create a family tree or some kind of visual record for my niece for her 21st, including the photos we have of her direct ancestors (max 5 generations). Has anyone done something like this and if so did you use a commercial product or did you make your own and how did it work out. Very grateful for any thoughts, ideas, advice.

I should have added that it will just be her father's side of the family as those are the records I have access to. So although the photos in some cases go back five generations they are only of half her ancestry, so it's not quite as massive as it might have sounded!

I did something like this. My problem was that I found the information I had wasn't consistent for everyone. As a result, I didn't use a commercial product. Instead, I did a kind of montage, using what info I had.

I used a very large photo frame from Dunelm, and printed off various bits and pieces and stuck them on a background. I annotated using Word, and also did a family tree using PowerPoint. I'm not very arty, but I think it looked quite good in the end.
