Chalkboard Mirror

A chalkboard mirror is an excellent choice for a rustic or farmhouse-themed party. You can create one by painting a regular mirror with chalkboard paint and letting it dry. Once dry, you can write the birthday message, draw a fun design, or let guests leave their well-wishes on the mirror.
