Hey Ladies,

So im looking at making my own marquee lights ? and im looking for some help. Iv noted there are various ways of making them from cardboard letters to MDF..

Before iv delve in to a HUGE diy task has anyone seen any for sale at a decent price..

Or Has anyone got any hints or tips on how to make them cost effectively, Has anyone ever seen HUGE cardboard letters?

❤️

Will you be requiring use of a power supply from your venue? (plugging them in) if so, before you take on the task it might be worth asking your venue if you'll be allowed to plug anything in to their power supply.

Most require PAT certificates and insurance documents for anything electrical. Worth keeping in mind maybe. Would be a great shame to go to all that effort and then have them say no

One of our couples have has huge initial letters before (no lights) using glittery cardboard and they looked great ?

My OH used MDF and fairy lights to make ours. He cut them out using a jigsaw and then drilled holes for the lights. We have then painted them gold and they will hang using fishing line and dowling.

He said the hardest thing was the paint because he sprayed them which means everything in our garage is now tinted gold LOL!!

To get around the PAT testing maybe you could use the idea of making your own, and using battery powered fairy lights?

Hi,

Here is a picture of lots of lights in a marquee.

It looked great! I think the letters were hired in though.
