Chalk It Up
Want to personalize your next shindig? Let these chalkboard decor items make it easy and fun to do.
Drinkware
Are your guests getting their drink cups mixed up? I have to admit that those red plastic party cups, while they hold lots of drink, are hard to keep track of. Have your guests stake their claim by using these Etch It cups. It’s okay that it’s not a true chalkboard; no concerns of chalk dust to float into your drink.
Servingware
Simple and practical. These two options for cheese trays from Kegworks are not only simple is design, but are practical in function. Not only will they look great on your table, but will let guest be able to tell the difference between the Brie and the Gouda. The Slate Cheese Serving Tray gives more than enough room for cheese presentation and identification. The Cheese Tray with Charcoal Slate Insert combines a traditional wood tray with a slate insert.. Line your crackers and fruit in the wooden tray and serve the cheese from the slate tray.
Accessories
Now that your drinks are labeled and cheese tray chalked up, what about the table? The Lingo Tablecover from Realm Dekor
allows guests to mark their spot at the table. For an easy DIY project, create your own chalkboard tablecloth by using Mexican Oil Cloth that comes in various color and patterns. For those special occasions when you want to break out the napkin rings, try this set from MoMA. These Chalkboard Napkin Rings
serve a double duty as holder for the napkin origami challenged and as place cards. If the table has any room left on it, this slate vase from Kimberly’s Events’ Chalkboard China Collection will make for a great centerpiece.
Scatter the use of these chalkboard decor items from party to party, or use them all at once for a themed End of Summer/Back to School event. Don’t be afraid to try something new, you can always erase and try again.
