step 1Choose rocks that are smooth and round or oval and large enough to fit guests' names or inspirational words.
step 2Using white spray paint, apply a base coat to each pebble. Let dry about 15 to 20 minutes.
step 3Paint completely over the base coat with your favorite color. Let dry completely.
step 4Choose the message you want to write on the rocks (i.e., the first name of your guests or inspirational words like "love," "prosperity," "courage," "energy" etc.). You can even create a party icebreaker by having guests find other guests with the same or complementary word on their rocks.
step 5If you don't have a steady hand, trace an outline of the rock on a sheet of scratch paper and practice writing or printing your message in a size that will fit properly on the rock.
step 6To write your message, choose a paint pen with a color that "pops" against your top coat, such as one in metallic gold or silver.
step 7Let dry to the touch.
step 8Apply sealer and let dry again to the touch.
