It's not the making of the letters I'm concerned about. it's more the cutting them out. Maybe I'll start with insulation and eventually move on to wood.

What helped me a lot (since I also put panda bears on the letters) was using a carosel or overhead projector to project the design onto the foam. Use a sharpie to draw the letters onto each insulation sheet. Then, follow the line with a knife to cut out the shape. This will assure that each of the letters looks right, and you don't have to spend time measuring out the dimensions of the letters.
A downside of foam is that if it's windy, they will take flight! If you make them small enough to hold, this shouldn't be such a problem...see the pretty Phi Mu stipey letters on the Bid Day picture thread!
