I did it - took me about 45 minutes - worth doing it yourself.

Melissa, before you get married, I am going to convince you to DIY something, just to prove to yourself that you can do it!

Blow up the 'Thank You' on the copy machine, lightly tape it to the back of the parasol, trace with pencil and fill in - I used a black sharpie so I didn't have to deal with paint cracking
