My favorite is the wedding chalkboard sign for your photobooth:
Now just in case you're thinking that you're not artistic enough to do this, then here's some help. To start, you need some chalkboard fonts. If you don't have any in Word or Photoshop, you can download some for free from www.1001fonts.com:

Type and print out your message to your desire size. You may need to print several pages if you want larger size lettering. Then, cover the back of your papers with chalk as suggested by Sincerely, Sara D. You are making a carbon paper with the chalk.
Next, place your printed papers with the chalk covered side down on the chalkboard sign. Use tape to secure the printed papers in place and trace the letters with a pencil/pen. Remove the papers and you should see a chalk outline of your message. Now use chalk or chalk pen to trace and color the lettering. Now that wasn't bad!
