I have had a huge response to the dinner plate menu that I’ve featured in my posts a few time before so I’ve decided to post a simple tutorial for creating your own “Dinner plate Menu”.Start with a plate.
I’ll use a one round and one oval white ceramic plate. I’ll also use an oval decorated ceramic plate. (Although the glass is in the picture, I learned that it did not work well since it was transparent.)
Choose some dry erase markers.
I’ll use black and red.
You’ll need a plated stand or holder of some sort.
Now just write your menus, to-do’s or notes. Just erase when done.
Have a great day.
I have done this before — for a party. People loved it! It fit with the theme too, because I had guests decorate their own plates with quotes (with permanent marker).

What a cute idea!! My husband is always asking “What’s for dinner?” Maybe I’ll try this.

This is such a cute idea! My daughter loves it, and we are working on our own version.

This is so cool and I think my boys would absolutely love it!

Thanks for sharing.

That is such a fun idea!

That is a great, great idea!
(And I am glad to find someone else who uses the same rules that I do too. Other moms look at me like I have a third eye when I make my boys adhere to our rules, but I am so glad that I can take our boys out into public and know that they will act like gentlemen.)

It’s an Edith Edith Schaeffer “Hidden Art of Homemaking” thing, truly! Even nice–she used a chalk board I think! I love it. What a beautiful touch!

That is so hot! I would never have thought to use dry erase markers on dinner plates. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
