Once dry, cut lengths of red, bright pink and pale pink ribbon to fit the length of the sign.

Tip: If you have additional tables to fit on the sign, add additional shades of pink to extend the ombre color change. Alternatively, reduce the width of the ribbon or increase the size of the sign.

Evenly space the 3 strands of ribbon across the board and use a staple gun (or hot glue) to attach the ribbon to the board.

Cut up the pink and red Paint Chip Supply Strips. I used the bright red color as the table number cards and the pink colors as the guest name cards.

Use glitter gold stickers to write the table numbers and guest names on the cards. Alternatively, use a gold calligraphy pen to do this.
