Planning to polish your wedding festivities with a little DIY flair? Mini chalkboards and chalkboard labels are an easy way to add a fresh, trendy look in a variety of ways! Plus they are easy to use, easy to update... and easy to make use of with a bit of color and creativity.
Directional Signs - Help guests know where to go with small decorative accent signs. These maybe are not necessary, but they're cute! You can spotlight particular areas with your own creative or funky language ("Grazing Spot!" / "Scoops!" / "Pop a Cap!")... or you can help everyone know which path to take through the venue facilities --- to find the lounge areas... or the coat racks... or the restrooms... or the kids' area. Consider using pots of flowers as the stands to zip in a little extra color and beauty.
Favors & Keepsakes - Fill jars with custom candy, as favors and/or playful centerpieces at your reception tables. Glass vases with hand-picked wildflowers are another nostalgic option! Label one for each family to take away with them as a keepsake, or label with fun sayings that resonate with your wedding theme.
Seating Tags - There are endless ways to create an artistic seating chart, for your reception or for any party. Peel and stick, eraseable labels can be a simple way to make things easy on yourself - always a great idea!
Engagement Party? Labels can be used for all sorts of party games and favors. Or, if there are friends from both sides of the family who are not yet acquainted, invite everyone to create their own name label to ease the introductions.
Gift Giving - Hand-write or draw on all kinds of gift items: Home made jams or color-coordinated candies can be a sweet gift for wedding guests, or for your attendants or vendors. With custom crafted beer or soda, the chalkboard labels are a trendy way to accent that you've made the brew yourself! Labels can also be added as a bold accent to wrapped gifts too.
Remember to check out a few how-to videos online to make the most of outlining and quick decorative swirls and design work - any chalkboard sign or label can be dressed up as little or as much as you care to! Be sure to experiment with different color chalk markers, and practice ahead of time with fun fonts -- this easily dresses up your labels and adds even more pizzazz and color!
