Weddings are expensive. I always knew that, but it wasn’t until I got involved last year that I realized how expensive it was. To keep costs to a minimum, we set a conservative budget. Only $500 for decorations. Seeing as this includes signs, centerpieces, guest books, cake toppers, head table decor, and ceremony decor, it’s easier said than done.

I saw giant MR and MRS lamps on kijiji for rent for $300. They look amazing, but $300?! That’s more than half of my budget. So I’m going to make them myself. The total cost for this letter is up to $50! And that includes lots of white Christmas lights that we will use every Christmas.

I received so many complements on this letter. They are a big hit at weddings, and provide a lovely atmosphere for the dance floor when the lights are dimmed.

Draw each letter in MR & MRS onto the full foam board. I recommend copying my letters or finding a font you like online. Change your font to give each letter a strong base and a standard thickness of 3 inches.

Using a utility knife carefully begin to cut out each letter. Work slowly, cut a little deeper into the foam with each swipe of the knife until it penetrates to the other side.

I found that holding the foam securely with one hand on the table, and cutting over the edge was very effective. I don’t have to worry about scratching the table if the knife suddenly breaks through the foam board.

Please work carefully in this step! It’s too easy for the knife to slide into places you don’t want it to go, especially on curves.

To do this, cut all the scraps into strips with a thickness of 1 inch. You will need a lot of these strips, I needed another two boards worth of foam all cut strips in addition to scraps (and I had a lot of scraps).

Working with one letter at a time, cut the strips to the length of the straight edges. Glue this to the letters using hot glue. See photos for guidance.

For curved edges, cut the stips into small sections, about 1 inch wide. I recommend cutting this as you need them, because the thickness you can use will depend on the curve. Use many small pieces to cover the entire curve.

Lay the letters on a sheet of plastic, either outside or in the garage. Spray paint the letters completely. We used two of our cans. The tricky part is not to miss one of the nooks and crevices that the letters tend to have. Don’t worry about the back of the letter, because no one will see it!

With a pencil and ruler draw a line that divides each part of the letter into two. Use this as a guideline to make the holes for the Christmas lights.

Using a utility knife, make a small cross every 2 inches along the letter. Make another cross higher than the first one so there are 8 cuts in total, make a little star (see picture for example).

Squeeze the light into the hole that has been made, linking the letters together. This is a pain to undo, so I recommend not doing it until you are sure that no changes need to be made.

Arrange the letters up across the head table and enjoy! Be proud of the wedding decorations you made yourself.

The letters were very light to carry, and provided a beautiful backdrop for our first dance. Just be careful when transporting it, as it can be quite fragile.
