Say "NO" To Chalkboard Signs!!!

Everywhere I look there are chalkboard signs at weddings!  I want signs at my wedding, but I don't want them to look like all the other ones.

I have found a blank wooden heart sign at Dollarama last Winter and it's just been hanging around in all its wooden glory waiting for something big to happen.

This isn't my heart, but you get the picture... Just a lovely wooden canvas!

I grabbed some metallic paints from Walmart and some brushes and decided to have a crack at hand-painting my own sign... This is how it turned out...

Pretty impressed, am I!  I'm going to paint an arrow just under where it says "Photo Booth" but I have no idea where the sign is gonna hang yet, so that'll be done after we book the venue (which might be tonight as I'm going to check out a cute hall later!).  

I've now decided to change my plans from lazing around the house watching TV to heading to the dollar store for more blank signs.  I have visions of the drive to the hall scattered with "nearly there" and "this way for the I Do's" signs!  Perhaps I'll even make my own "Mr & Mrs" signs for the backs of the chairs, and then hang them above our bed after the big day has come and gone!  

I just love DIY soooooooooooooo much.
