A master at planning, our friend Jessica made an excellent candidate to try Chalkola Chalk Markers. She likes making videos of calligraphy and lettering, as well as sharing advice on how to plan for the best at an event or in life. Organization is important to Jessica, and Chalkola Chalk Markers provided her with more tools and options to accomplish her goals.
Materials used:
Of course she reads the package first. Chalkola markers are child-safe, non-toxic, practically odorless, and wash away easily from clothing or hands. 
She lays out her markers to see what choices she has. So many colors for the lettering she's going to do on the chalkboard sign.
She starts with the purple, writing the word “home.”
It looks as if she’s finished but she still has some details to add. 
Chalkola Chalk Markers do not have the brush tips they would need to do actual calligraphy but Jessica can imitate the lettering style by adding downstrokes. She loves the vibrant colors of the markers. 
Another characteristic that Jessica likes about Chalkola Chalk Markers is how easy it is to clean up or fix a mistake. With just a few swipes of a damp cloth, the surface is cleaned. Correcting a mistake is very easy with a damp cotton swab. 
Jessica finishes the sign by adding a border drawn in metallic silver. She's very pleased with how her project turned out! Also read: Fabulous Flowers, Chalkola Style!
Wedding signs with chalk markers: welcome signs, seating charts & the best gold/metallic pens
Chalk markers are the low-cost, reusable way to make elegant wedding signage — welcome boards, seating charts, bar and dessert signs, favour tags and “Just Married” car send-offs. The trick is picking an opaque marker with the right tip size and, for that classic wedding look, real gold and silver metallics. Here’s the quick match:
| Wedding piece | Best tip size | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| Easel welcome sign / large board | 15mm jumbo or bold 6mm | White, gold or black |
| Chalkboard / mirror welcome sign | 6mm reversible bold | White + gold accents |
| Seating chart & place cards | 1mm fine (or dual-tip fine end) | White, gold, silver |
| Bar, dessert & direction signs | 6mm bold | Neon or metallic |
| “Just Married” car send-off | 15mm jumbo | White + gold/silver |
Best gold & metallic chalk markers for weddings
For the metallic wedding look, pick a set that actually includes real gold and silver pens — not every chalk-marker pack does. These do, and all wipe off non-porous mirror, acrylic and glass so reusable and rented signs come clean:

Frequently asked questions
What are the best chalk markers for wedding signs?
For wedding signage, choose opaque, non-toxic liquid chalk markers with a bold reversible nib and metallic colours. A 6mm reversible tip covers welcome signs and seating charts, while a set that includes real gold and silver metallics gives the classic elegant wedding look. Chalkola’s chalk markers write opaquely on chalkboard signs, mirrors, acrylic and glass, and wipe off non-porous surfaces so rental signs come clean.
Where can I find a gold chalk marker for wedding signs?
Chalkola sells chalk-marker sets that include real gold and silver metallic pens — the 10-pack with gold & silver and the 16-pack dual-tip (which adds 6 metallic colours) are the go-to picks for wedding welcome signs, seating charts and favour tags. Both are available on Amazon and write opaquely on chalkboard, mirror, acrylic and glass.
Do chalk markers work on mirror and acrylic wedding signs?
Yes. Chalkola liquid chalk markers write opaquely on non-porous mirror, acrylic and glass wedding signs, and wipe off cleanly with a damp cloth — ideal for rented or reusable signage. On a raw wood or slate porous sign the ink becomes permanent, so use a non-porous board (or seal the surface) if you want to reuse it.
What size chalk marker is best for a wedding welcome sign vs a seating chart?
Use a bold 6mm reversible tip for welcome-sign headlines and a 1mm fine tip (or the fine end of a dual-tip) for seating-chart names and small details. For a very large easel welcome board or a car send-off (“Just Married”), step up to a 15mm jumbo tip for wide, readable strokes.
