marquee letters

Big venue lettering

Marquee letters are large, illuminated letters typically outlined with small light bulbs, evoking the bright signage of old theater marquees and Las Vegas casinos.

They're used decoratively at weddings, parties, and events to spell out names, words, or initials: The bride's name glowed in marquee letters behind the dance floor.

The style—whether actual lit signs or graphics mimicking the look—suggests vintage glamour and celebration.
