Begin by hanging Marquee Letters spelling out P-A-R-T-E-A on you wall. We would recommend using Command Hooks or Double Sided Foam Tape.

Fill the letters with Pink Hydrangea Blooms and Cream Rose Buds. We found it helpful to fit the stems of the flowers in the given holes of the marquee letters.

Using either a Cutting Machine or by simply writing, cut out the word "Let's" in Gold Glitter Contact Paper and hang in above the flower-filled marquee letters.  If you don't have a cutting machine, download the free backdrop template here, and trace the letters out.
