Whether you are having a rustic barn wedding or one with a more modern industrial feel, these DIY Chalkboard Wedding Menu Chargers will leave your guests hungry for more of your clever DIY prowess. Your wedding guests mouths will water once they know what is on the menu and when the dinner plates are added to the charger, their taste buds will be satisfied.
Paint the middle of a gold charger with chalkboard paint. We found it easiest to use a sponge paint brush to apply the paint using the inside rim of the charger as a guide. Apply 2 coats of chalkboard paint allowing time for the paint to dry in between coats.
Once the chalkboard paint is fully dry, its time to prime the chalkboard. This will not only ensure that you can re-use the chalkboard without ghosting (seeing what you previously wrote even after erasing) but it also makes the plain black chalkboard look more like a real vintage chalkboard. Nice and dusty! To prime the chalkboard, simply rub chalk all over the painted area and use a wet rag or paper towel to rub it off.
Use a fine tip chalk marker to hand letter your wedding day menu onto the chalkboard charger. Be creative! Use a few different fonts to add interest, for a more whimsical look, doodle hearts etc.
These DIY Chalkboard Wedding Menu Chargers will be perfect styled with a burlap runner and wildflowers for a rustic barn wedding. Have a wedding theme that is a little more clean line? Combine the chalkboard chargers with marble and greenery, plus gold utensils and candle holders for a more industrial feel.
