Custom Step-and-Repeat Backdrop: Cheers and Charity Fundraising Event in Kansas City
designwise KC joined for our 2nd Cheers & Charity fundraising event in December 2024, this time creating a step and repeat backdrop for guests to snap a red carpet picture with.
Cheers & Charity is an annual event to bring together Kansas City's wedding community to network, celebrate the holidays, and give back to a local KC charity organization. 2024 Cheers & Charity took place at The Guild and Paradise Garden Club, with an all-star team of vendors to help raise funds for Campfire Heartland, a day camp in Kansas City designed to immerse diverse youth in nature, build self-reliance and problem-solving through activities like swimming, archery, and hiking, while promoting inclusion and breaking down stereotypes.
With the theme Emily in Paris of the Plains, the planners wanted to a true red carpet moment for guest entrance pictures. We created a backdrop with the planner company logos, and the event graphics from Yellow Brick Graphics. Paired with balloons from Boss Babe Balloon Co. and a red carpet from Levity Events. We loved seeing guests snap pictures in front of the backdrop before the event!
If you’re interested in a step and repeat backdrop for your next event, or custom entrance of your own, please let us know!
