~ Happy Planning ~

~ On a Super Tight budget and a little Crafty? ~
Get a giant piece of muslim or a clearance bed sheet and paint your design. Cut a hole and hang with a rope (or from PVC pipes)
Jen H created some cute backdrops on sheets. View some photo examples from her wedding.
~ Looking for instructions for the camera/printer set up? ~
Check out this blog entry by Aireen on the supplies and program needed to print out the pictures!
~ Have an old Gazebo? ~
Cut it down to make it shorter and cut the bars on top to drape the tulle/fabric from. A suggestion from Ashlee, put a solid color behind the tulle to prevent the light from shinning through.
~ Have time on your hands and LOTS of patience? ~
Instructions from Valene: I got round sequins at hobby lobby in 2 different sizes. I also bought little round jewelry rings to hook the sequins together. It is very time consuming depending on how long you want each garland and how many strands you need. I bought the foam boards at michaels and bought black wrapping paper and covered the foam boards. It was nailed up on the wall.* {Party was at her home} I think I spent around $60 for everything. The one thing that did get pricey was the jewelry hooks. I tried to buy them when they were 50% off at hobby lobby. *perhaps the wall mounting squares would work
