Chalkboard signs can be extremely expensive, especially once you factor in personalization and hand painting. They really are a lovely first impression for guests arriving at your ceremony and reception so it’s nice that the same look can be achieved for a lot less. This poster is printed to look like a chalkboard on high-quality, premium, heavy-weight archival paper with special archival inks.

This can also be ordered in several various sizes, ranging from 8×10 to 24×30. Keep in mind that it doesn’t come with a frame so you’ll either want to purchase a simple one here, or buy an easel to display it on.

The wood base paired with the crisp white paint provides a clean, elegant, sign.
