Marquee lights can be found at Hands and Plaza, but they cost around 3000 yen per letter. If you buy them one by one, the total can add up quickly ...＊ Even without that, weddings tend to be expensive due to dresses and venues. So, it would be great to keep venue decorations as affordable as possible!＊

First up is a super simple DIY using just colored paper and lights♩ Get battery-operated LED lights and colored paper from Can Do or Seria＊

Print out your preferred font on a computer and trace it while making a rough outline♡ Don't forget to cut the colored paper for the sides to the same width as the back, too♩ Once done, attach the back and sides together, make holes, and insert the lights to complete it♡

If you're worried about the finish with just colored paper, wrap the sides and back neatly with fabric tape＊ Spraying with your favorite lacquer will make it more professional♩
