Chalkboard Save The Dates

We used our kitchen wall as the canvas, and with a can of chalkboard paint and and eventual handful of broken chalks later we were able to come up with this. Everybody loves it and says that it captures our personalities? We aren't the "frolicking through a garden" photos kind of couple, so I wanted something that would capture our true personalities.

I have always done all of the birthday invitations in the family, so I knew that sending these to be printed at Walmart.com was the cheapest way to go. I did some research and found some hard 4×6 acrylic frames with magnets and mounted them for way less (.75 each) than the 4-5$ estimates per unit that I was seeing online.

Many people don't even realize that the lettering was drawn out on the wall, but I ALWAYS make sure to let them know! It's my emotional reward I guess...
