XP: I need a big wooden letter

bridalmarch

FI wants to buy a big wooden K (the first letter of his last name) and have people sign it as a guestbook. I'd love to find a painted one, but I can paint if I need to. I've checked Michael's and AC Moore but there was nothing big enough there. We live far-ish from the closest Hobby Lobby. 

Is there another place to look? We invited 200 and are expecting between 150-160, so it needs to accomodate all of those signatures. Also, what pens would be best for this?

You can try Etsy.

How big? We have 8 inch letters S & J on a shelf in our living room.  They are about $7 each from Marshall's/ TJMaxx

<div>We were thinking at least 12 inches just to make sure there's room for everyone to sign...we hadn't considered getting smaller letters of our first initials though. That might be a good alternative. We were also throwing around the idea of a big ampersand because I feel like that would be a better decorative piece than a big K, but those are realllllllly hard to find in big versions. </div>

Here is a picture of what we have.  They also carry the & symbol.  They are 3-d so people can write on all the sides.

We did this exact thing for our guest book and found it on Etsy. When I'm on my computer tomorrow I'll get you the link.
