DIY Giant Light Up Wooden Mr & Mrs Wedding Marquee Letters
Listed below are all the items we bought, previously owned and used for creating the marquee letters. This project saw the light of day with the help and collaboration of my father Tony. I got the chance to use his power tools for free, which helped me remain within my $300 budget.
I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I’ve enjoyed making it! Thanks for watching, and please subscribe to my channel for more DIY and artistic videos!

Thank you!! No specific font in mind, just thought it would be easier to make the letters in straight cuts rather than curves because I knew I wanted a wooden trim all around. Originally, I was going to add a serif at the base of each letter, but figured it would be easier to add a small wooden base behind each letter instead. It also helped keep the letters somewhat lightweight for transportation!
Can you put the measurements of the letters?
Can you give some details for the lettering? How many lights per each letter? Or a stencil

About 3 months, but we only worked on it, a bit at a time, about 3-5 hours a week.
