Does the finish on the blocks allow for writing on them using a sharpie? We wish to use these at a wedding and have guests write their advice on the pieces.

Hey Catherine, what a cute idea. I just wrote with a thin sharpie on one (as my daughter looked at me as if I had 3 heads). It works. The blocks are not polished. Best wishes for a very happy marriage. My advice is play lots of Jenga! //^_~\\

I can not confirm 100% since I have not actually tried to write on them, but I think you could write on them pretty easily. Especially with an Industrial Sharpie (stronger ink). And if they do stay a little wet, they will probably dry quickly. Hope this helps

Yes, in the edition I received(came in black and orange rectangular package), the blocks were smooth but not varnished so it would be possible to write on them with a sharpie! I hope you get the right edition because I did not.

Hi Catherine... Yes if you use a FINE TIP Sharpie it will work fine. As you are aware they are small pieces so I would suggest having the guests write on the back side. Don B San Diego, CA

Yes they do! We made a game out of it- "10 push-ups" "25 jumping jacks", great idea!!

No, it's like trying to use yellow marker on black paper. I would suggest using something thick, like yellow icing.

The backing is white so that would work perfect. There is a shiney coating on each piece that may make it hard to write with certain writing instruments.

I used the sharpie on my wedding photo (20 X 30) as guest sign in (printed from Shutterfly!) It worked perfectly. The sharpie point was fine enough for easy writing and it did not seep through the back.

Yes, I just used scotch tape that you can write on. I just love them. Ihave three of them.

Yes. You should be able to write on them but the lettering will be small but very readable. It's a good 1/4". Use a sharp point permanent marker. This way it will not run. It reads just fine up close. I think you will find these work very well.

No. You need a regular felt tip for that purpose. The pens are excellent for writing...and no bleed through.

You should be able to see/feel the difference. To make things a bit easier ... you can use a fine tip permanent marker two label the stone with the grit/number on the side of the block in the appropriate area. I have stones that have set in a drawer for a long period of time before being used again and, trust me, the do-it-yourself reference markings come in handy! YMMV ..

Yes, you can use a marker on them. They give you a nice white surface to write on. I don't do it but have friends that do. The ones that you do not print on just might be a little cheaper though. Hope I helped.

...with marker & even many pens...the sigs will bleed & weep to nearly illegible if done on bare/unfinished wood (it's a grain thingie)...it WILL need to be sealed to some degrre/ in some manner, friendly to the writing devices...

I have written on them with a sharpie just fine. The white side is just a waxy sort of paper designed to be peeled off to reveal the glue underneath. But if you leave the backing on, you can write on it just fine.

Yes they do on paper. .oil based sharpies are more for non porous crafts ..I use mine for glassware or plastic crafts.

They are coated on the outside so I'd suggest if you want colored ones search for ones already the color you want. But you can write on these with a Sharpie.

Yes they can. I enjoyed them very much. I use these for cards, grading papers (making smiling faces, complimenting on their writing and works. I love the colors. They are great for taking notes and they don't bleed thru your paper.

You could probably write on it with a permanent sharpie marker. The material is plastic (similar to a disposable plastic tablecloth or ziplock bag).
