Chalk Board Signs

We are pretty much making 90% of the wedding stuff ourselves. Its a lot of work but the personal touches on everything I think will make a big difference. We want our wedding to be 100% US! So here are a few things I worked on last weekend.

Went to the Home Depot to get some wood for our chalk board signs. We are making signs for the tables which will have our menus written on them as well as a chalk board sign for the guest book table. We also made arrow signs for the guest to know where to go. So here's what I did... 

For the arrows we picked out these fence posts. We saw them and figured this would save us so much time trying to cut out arrows ourselves. They were a bit on the long side so we had to cut them down to size. Once they were the right size we drilled them to the wood stand and done! An easy personal touch.


And this is what they looked like without the chalk paint applied.

Next the signs. We bought a big piece of plywood and cut our boards to size. 

Next we made the stands using these metal L brackets. 

All this took less then half an hour to do!!

All that was left was painting them with the chalk board paint. Which we had bought a while back to make the chalkboard sign from our engagement photos. 

And the finished arrows.....
