Dry Erase Food Markers

One of our favorite things from Mom's surprise party are the dry erase food markers that we made. All the credit goes to Shannon over at Madigan Made.  We saw her great post about markers for a bridal shower and knew that they would be great for this party and many more.

All you need are Ceramic Countertop Trim Tiles. 

We picked these up from Lowes for $1.84 each!

Here's a link to the tiles at Lowes - Ceramic Countertop Trim Tiles




Then add a sticker on a clear background and you are ready to go!

The best thing about these is that you can change them out 
for any season or occasion.

We also used one at the Guest Book Tree that we set up for the party - 



Shannon over at Madigan Made wrapped up a set with a ribbon and a dry erase marker as a gift for the bride. What a perfect gift for a friend that entertains!

    I never would have thought of that.. It really is a super idea. Would be great for placecards as well.

    Great idea!!!

    Say what?!?! Perfect food labels at a party! I could leave a different message by my hubby's bedside everyday...sneaky smile! Or even the kids! Sweet messages to start the day off right while they brush their teeth or maybe a spelling word they are struggling with. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

      You are right! The size is just right too - not too big and not too small. You might even want to put felt strips on the bottom so that it wouldn't scuff up your furniture. You could even change out the stickers every week or two! I just love these kinds of clever things and wish it was my original idea, but all the credit goes to Madigan Made. I just copied her idea. Thanks for dropping in!
