MARRY ME vs Marry Me — That Is the Question

You have the ring. You have the plan. Now you need the perfect backdrop for the most important question you will ever ask. Giant marquee letters spelling "MARRY ME" have become one of the most popular proposal setups in Atlanta, and at Giant Letters of Atlanta, we have helped stage dozens of unforgettable proposals. But one of the first questions we get from our proposal clients is: should I go with 2D or 3D letters? Let us break it down.

2D Letters: Clean, Classic, and Bold

Our 2D marquee letters are three feet tall with a flat design, featuring white fronts and black sides. They have a clean, modern look that makes a strong visual statement. At $60 per character, "MARRY ME" in 2D letters costs $420 for seven characters, making them a budget-friendly option that still delivers a major wow factor. 2D letters are lighter and easier to position, which makes them a great choice if you are planning a proposal in a location with limited space or uneven ground.

3D Letters: Illuminated and Unforgettable

Our 3D marquee letters are also three feet tall but feature a three-dimensional design with built-in illumination. The warm glow they produce creates a romantic atmosphere that is hard to beat, especially for evening proposals. At $75 per character, "MARRY ME" in 3D letters costs $525 for seven characters. The extra investment gets you that classic, glowing marquee look that photographs beautifully and creates a magical ambiance as the light fades.

Which One Is Right for Your Proposal?

The answer depends on when, where, and how you plan to propose. If you are proposing during the day in a bright, sunlit location, 2D letters can make just as strong of a visual impact as 3D because the illumination is less noticeable in daylight. If you are planning an evening or indoor proposal where the glow of the letters will really shine, 3D letters create a more romantic and dramatic effect. Both styles photograph well and will give your partner a moment they will never forget.

Tips for a Marquee Letter Proposal

Here are a few tips from our experience helping with proposals in Atlanta. First, choose a location that is meaningful to your relationship, whether it is the spot where you had your first date, a favorite park, or even your own backyard. Second, consider timing. Evening proposals with illuminated letters are especially dramatic. Third, have someone ready to capture the moment on camera, because you will want to relive it again and again. Finally, let us handle the logistics. We will deliver, set up, and pick up the letters so you can focus entirely on the moment.
