Are you planning a DIY wedding? Here are 55 chalkboard ideas to get you inspired!
Why do we love chalkboards for a DIY wedding so much? It’s simple: using chalkboards can eliminate paper waste, and you can erase and reuse them! While you might have a ton of chalkboards at your wedding, you can reuse every single one of them again. Repurpose them into home decor, party decorations, or give them as favors at the end of the day. Whatever you decide, here are 55 (yes, 55!) chalkboard ideas that you can use for your special day!
