There’s a lot of paperwork that goes into wedding and it extends way past the invites and the envelopes. The trend of ‘green,’ or environmentally-friendly, weddings has become extremely popular in the past few years and one of the ways couple choose to act on that theme is to eliminate the amount of paperwork that comes with throwing a wedding. This can be done in a number of ways such as sending out invitations via email; but framed chalkboards are now often being used to save on the paperwork used during the actual ceremony and reception. And framed chalkboards aren’t just better for the environment; they can be a more affordable choice too. So how can you use them in your green-themed wedding?
Instead of taping posters up to trees, or handing out maps to every guest, showing them how to get from the ceremony to the reception, use A-frame chalkboard signs that can be placed on street corners to tell guests how to get from one point to another. You’ll save on the cost of paper and guests will still be able to find you easily. Plus, these signs can be a really cute way to play up your theme and will be something the guests always think about when they think about your wedding. You can even design them in your wedding colors and pictures of your theme to make them even more personal to your wedding.
Traditionally when guests arrive at the reception venue they’ll sort through a number of place cards looking for their name and seat number. Instead of wasting this paper, and your guests’ time by looking through those little cards, use a larger framed chalkboard to outline your seating chart. Guests will be able to look at it and see where they’re sitting much more easily, and you’ll be able to play up your theme and save yourself the hassle of writing out all those little cards.
If you’re having a plated dinner at your reception, you can also use an A-frame chalkboard sign as your menu and tell your guests what they’ll be eating. You can set it up either at the entrance when guests come in so they can look it over when they go to their seats, or it can be set up at the front of the room, so that guests can review each course as it’s coming.
There are many ways that you can use framed chalkboards at your green-themed wedding; and like most things green, you’ll find that using this alternative can greatly save on your wedding budget too. You’ll be amazed once you start calculating all the costs, just how much all those printing materials cost, and how much there are to take care of for your wedding!
