Chalkboards and Weddings



Apparently, chalkboards are not just for teachers anymore!  They are all the rage in upcoming weddings! The chalkboard has not only become a very eco-friendly  part of a reception, but it's vintage vibe and adaptable personality is what makes the chalkboard so much fun!

I never knew all the fun things you could do with a chalkboard until I started doing some research. They can seriously be used in just about any part of a wedding. For example:
  • Seating chart and table numbers or names
  • Table Chalkboards for name or table numbers
  • Entree, appetizer, dessert chalkboards
  • Framed chalkboards
  • Entrance to hall or ceremony freestanding chalkboards
  • Signs for tables and guest names  
  • Boards with Table names and guest names  
  • Decorative signs welcoming guests
  • Menu signs
  • Props for a photo booth
  • Kid's project
With all of the above options, I'm not sure why you WOULDN'T have a chalkboard  somewhere in your reception:-) It's is also a  really neat DIY project. You can make your own unique chalkboard by purchasing a frame and putting the chalkboard in the frame. This helps show off some of the amazing personality the bride and groom have. There is also chalkboard wallpaper that you can apply to vases, candle holders and many other objects found at a wedding. Instead of paying a ton of money to have these items inscribed...chalk it on there!

Any other ideas out there on what to do with the chalkboard?
