Last but not least, as I showed you Monday, the slate board works great for its intended purpose – a cheese board. Instead of using the board for your menu, you could list the recipe for a cocktail, a special message to the party’s honoree, or a favorite quote to set the mood for the evening. I think it has a special way of making people feel appreciated. I love the look of something done by hand. It doesn’t getmuch easier than that.ĭon’t worry too much about your penmanship as long as its legible. Then, using chalk, simply jot down your menu for the evening. Prop up the slate on a shelf or leave it laying flat. Now that the table is set, we need a menu. Since you’re just writing with chalk, you can easily wipe it away at the end of the evening. How fun is that? Whether it be your guest’s name, a fun quote, or something that ties in with the theme of your dinner – the options are truly endless. I also love that you can write on the boards. Even the gold flatware looks extra special. It makes an ideal base for starting your table setting. This charcoal black works perfectly with the bright bold colors I’ve come to love. (Even though, I later realized there is an actual placemat board.) I’m typically using white or colorful surfaces when it comes to plating, so it was fun to mix things up with a darker color.
