Hi girls, I recently went to a wedding fayre and found something I'd like to do for my friends who are getting married next year. It's like a blackboard with a picture of the couple in black and white and the guests can either write a message around it in gold or silver. Then it can be framed etc... it's really nice but not sure what I can ue to do this... any ideas/ suggestions?

you can get blackboard paint easily enough so how about getting a piece of board painting it, and adding a pic, should be fairly easy.

Great idea BTW G.
I would get a A3 frame so there's a good amount of space HOWEVER I personally wouldn't use black board paint.... I'd use plain black matt paint and get those silver/gold metallic paint pens.
If you use blackboard paint the messages MAY rub off
