You've just gotten married and you feel like a winner. What better way to celebrate winning your life-long partner than by crashing through a “Just Married” sign? Plus, it's a crazy cool photo opportunity, and you can tailor the sign to say whatever you want.

We did this at our wedding this past spring, except our sign read “Game Over”
Love your “game over” idea!! My fiancee is a big time gamer
i love love love this idea!!
soo stealing it.. but one problem- how on earth do you make a banner like that? probably a dumb question- but i seriously don’t know. please help xx
It’s just a big roll of paper and craft paint and it looks like they used dowels and tape to reinforce the sides. We made a few slits in the center to make it easier to tear through. Ahh football pep rallys, who knew they would bring me a life skill.
Yep- We asked at a local copy shop for some ends to the rolls (They often have the large rolls with a little left on the roll that they will keep) and was able to tape them together. The seams helped us break through (and had enough to do a test-run too) and used craft paint for the letters. It was fun! We didn’t use dowels though-Just had about 3 people of each side holding the sign up.
I’m thinking of doing this at my wedding in a week and a half, but perhaps the hubs and I will have exact-o knives to cut through. Thoughts?
I don’t think you’ll need knives. We did a practice one, and just made two small Xs in the spots we were going to bust through. Worked like a charm.
