the how

  • Made from flexible silicon LED; no glass or mercury
  • Brighter, silent, more durable and power-saving than traditional glass neon signs
  • Mounted onto a transparent acrylic plate with hook holes
  • Plugs for different countries US, UK, EU, AU etc
  • Hang on walls or use as backdrops for bars or dessert / buffet tables

the why

overhead decorations

  • Visibility; overhead decorations remain visible when the room is full of people
  • Intimacy; lowers the ceiling, reduces empty space, and makes large rooms and cavernous venues feel more full, which helps create a buzzy atmosphere
  • Focal points; decorations above bars, food stations, dance floors, or activities can identify their location in large or crowded rooms

Perimeter / wall decorations

  • Transformative; helps transform a domestic space or empty venue into a party environment
  • Masking; helps hide or distract from existing or incompatible room décor
  • Value; can help dress large areas
  • Atmospheric; perimeter decorations are important early on, before the room fills up, to help create a party atmosphere and ensure it feels like a special occasion
  • Intimacy; helps define the party space and envelope guests to create an intimate atmosphere

tabletop décor

  • Enhances; adds height and fullness to bars, food stations, and occasional tables to create larger displays
  • Focal points; decorating bars, food stations, or occasional tables encourages mingling by creating destinations for guests to explore
  • Visibility; tall / tabletop decorations are easier to see when the room is full of people

the why

this idea

  • Special occasions should feel special; generic ‘off the shelf’ decorations are lazy and unimaginative
  • Personalized; customized decorations are more special and show you made an effort
  • Dramatic; makes a big and bold impression to wow guests
  • Memorable; guests remember big, bold, or unusual decorations
  • Elegant; lends your decorations an elegant and sophisticated touch
  • Professional; makes it look professionally decorated and elevates it from a party to an event
  • Photo-worthy; a great photo-op for guests to share and tag on social media
  • Surprise; a great way to surprise the guest of honor
  • Unusual; a less common party idea to impress guests
  • Reusable; names or certain phrases could be re-used for future events or home decor
  • Keepsake; creates a tangible memory for the guest of honor to revisit in future

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

“If you give careful thought to what your custom neon sign will say, you could re-use it for future events or as home décor.

For example, if it reads ‘Happy Birthday Chris’ instead of ‘Happy 40th Birthday Chris’, you could re-use it every year.

Similarly, if you opt for more general phrases, such as ‘Let’s Get This Party Started’, it could be re-used for many different events and occasions throughout the year.

Alternatively, if you choose just names, these can double as home decor in between future events.”
