I may take you up on that, I love them but could never actually do one myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1596083 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:46:19 +0000 shopaholic 1596083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did it for her Bday party. I think I had only ever seen one before that IRL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1596064 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:33:23 +0000 Smurfette 1596064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: my friend made ours and it was $6 to print 16x20 normal photo at Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1596021 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:00:19 +0000 Ra 1596021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595852 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:59:11 +0000 sunny 1595852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I did a posterboard print at Costco and prices and how it looked are here: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-fix-my-chalkboard-poster" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-fix-my-chalkboard-poster</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595844 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:46:09 +0000 Sammyfab 1595844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: if you weren't planning on making one yourself I'd love to make one for L! I can show you a pic of Kai's. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595842 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:44:11 +0000 Sammyfab 1595842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're super cute and a great way to commemorate the occasion! We did one for my LO and I'm making one for a friend whose daughter turns one next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595726 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 12:48:22 +0000 googly-eyes 1595726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did one toward the end of last year! I don't think everyone IRL thought it was overdone... Not everyone has attended a one year old (or very young) bday party recently. And even I they are becoming common I still like them for the stats! </p> <p>But to be fair I'm not that creative and don't spend much time trying to do things in a unique way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595707 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 12:18:32 +0000 Kimberlybee 1595707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I adore the look of chalkboard and nice handwriting! There is something about it that reminds me of a classic childhood nostalgia. Besides, the look of good handwriting never goes out it style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595652 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:01:06 +0000 Ra 1595652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those who have done them, how much did it cost to print? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595628 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 10:38:11 +0000 artsyfartsy 1595628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really a fan of them! I think they're cute but I don't think I'll do one for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595624 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 10:34:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1595624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know but I saw a cross stitch version the other day and I thought that was SUPER cool! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595433 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 05:19:53 +0000 bushelandapeck 1595433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did one (well, Etsy did) and everyone loved it! It's hanging up in our playroom now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595427 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 03:55:57 +0000 travellingbee 1595427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online everyone seems to do them, but when I made one for my DS no one on real life had seen it before and everyone thought it was awesome at his party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595390 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 23:57:41 +0000 sunny 1595390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made one for my LO last year! I think they are cute :-)</p> <p>I made mine in Illustrator and had it printed at Costco because my handwriting is terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595277 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:20:03 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1595277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Exactly! It was the same with the candy bar at my wedding - it was "overdone" online, but no one had ever seen one before here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595268 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:17:10 +0000 swedishfish 1595268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: hahaha, that's like the wedding photo booth. They're only recently becoming overdone here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595265 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:16:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1595265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen one IRL, only online. When/if I do one for LO's birthday, I'm pretty sure everyone will think I'm super cool, haha. </p> <p>So no, I don't think they're overdone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595249 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:07:55 +0000 Arden 1595249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are becoming overdone like chevron, but I like them so I don't give a damn. So I made one. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595231 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:51:08 +0000 ALV91711 1595231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: You can order pdf files on etsy that look like a chalkboard for like $15. Then you get the look without spending all the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595230 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:48:30 +0000 swedishfish 1595230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: oh, my handwriting is horrible too. I'd have to order one and I don't know if I want to spend money on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595229 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:47:52 +0000 Bookish 1595229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha who knows. I'm not doing one because my handwriting is terrible! Otherwise I totally would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595221 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:43:51 +0000 Reese 1595221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it. I think what has been on Pinterest for a while ends up hitting "real life" a lot later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595210 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:37:15 +0000 swedishfish 1595210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: no, I was just wondering. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595200 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:32:02 +0000 mediagirl 1595200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it matter? If you like them, just do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595190 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:26:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1595190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made one for ds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-birthday-chalkboards-still-cool#post-1595189 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:26:23 +0000 Smurfette 1595189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so!
