I came across this idea on Celebrations at Home and I am very curious to try this myself.  This is the first I’ve seen of a cloth runner that you can use chalk and write on, but I think it opens up a lot of doors for dinner parties or birthday parties.  You can use the runner to mark guest’s names down as place cards, or like the below, you can write what each dish is for each guest to see.

What do you think?  Would you find this useful?  I might try this soon and I’ll let you know how it turns out.
