Real Wedding Detail: Chalkboard Seating Chart

Since the wedding was featuring one 80′ foot long table and one 56′ long table, I suggested doing a map of the table setup so guests could find their seats easily.

I bought a piece of pre-sanded plywood, 6′ x 3′, along with primer and chalkboard paint from Home Depot.

I applied two coats of white primer to the wood.

And then followed it up with two coats of the chalkboard paint (I’m thinking I need to make a board like this for my office…)
