Save the Date Wedding Magnets

November 29th, 2009






Choosing your wedding date is the first step in your wedding plans. With all of the magical events that are happening in the lives of your guests, to ensure that yours is at the top of their list it has become a tradition to send out “Save the Date” notices.

You can surely send out cards to your guests, but how can you be sure these won’t get lost in the shuffle of junk mail and birthday cards? The best way to help your guests remember your big day is to send out Save the Date wedding magnets which can be stuck to a refrigerator and used functionally so they can keep you in their thoughts every day.

There are a wide variety of retailers which provide these magnets. Some stationers will provide these as part of a wedding invitation package. The benefit of this is that your stationary will be consistent with the theme you’ve chosen for you wedding, oftentimes matching your chosen patterns exactly. The downside is that this is probably a very expensive choice.

Wedding photographers also may offer save the date magnets as an additional cost to your photo package. The benefit of this is that you will get to choose from your favorite engagement photos taken by your photographer, and the magnets will serve as a beautiful keepsake with not just the date, but a gorgeous moment in time captured by a professional. However, just like with a stationer, this can be an expensive option.

There are a wide variety of websites you can order these magnets from as well. Savethedatemagnet.com has hundreds of designs you can choose from. You can choose from their ready-made designs or upload your favorite photo to their photo layouts.

All of the magnets can be customized with your names, initials, and of course, your wedding date. This is much more affordable option. The downsides of this option are that the magnets can usually only be purchased in sets of 25 (so if you only need 27, you’re stuck with many more than you need).

Also, if your wedding theme is especially unique you cannot customize the magnets to it. Choosing from ready-made layouts really inhibits creativity.

Vistaprint.com is the most affordable option for Save the Date magnets. Because vistaprint is not a wedding specific site, consumers can avoid paying wedding prices for their products. The website is easy to use and will allow you to fully customize your magnet removing and creative restrictions other sites may have.

You can either start with one of their ready-made layouts, or from a completely blank slate. You can upload your favorite pictures and insert your own witty, thoughtful or romantic text. This site also allows you to purchase quantities that mirror your need.

You can purchase as few as a set of 10 or as many as a set of 50, customizing the quantity as needed. You can request a PDF proof to make sure your magnet is produced exactly how you want it, and can expedite processing and shipping for a fee.

Remember, the hardest part was picking your the date for you big day. Choosing your magnets shouldn’t be a chore. Don’t be afraid to contact whomever you choose to produce your magnets so that you are completely satisfied with the end product.

What are Save the Date Magnets?

November 29th, 2009

A bride-to-be has spent a year, or years preparing for her special day. Picking that special day may have additional challenges for guests. What if guests are traveling from long distances and need to budget for the wedding? What if the wedding date is close to Thanksgiving or other major holiday?

What if the wedding is in a high tourist area such as Cancun during the high season? The additional planning time may require visible reminders to ensure invitees complete plans to attend the wedding.

A popular bridal tool for reminding people of her special day is a save the day wedding magnet. Unlike the formal wedding invitation, these magnets can be frivolous, zany or a beautiful reminder of the upcoming nuptials. These magnets can be mailed out months before the wedding so invitees can place them on refrigerators or other high traffic areas for a constant reminder of the upcoming event.

These save the date magnets can be designed to meet the desires and budgets of all couples. Magnets can be any size, any color, any design the couple wishes to share with invitees. Perhaps a couple has a special saying, a favorite photograph or logo or wish to match wedding invitations; these magnets are perfect visual reminders.

Not everyone invited will need a save the date wedding magnet. For those receiving these magnets, valuable information can be provided from the dates and times, to airline and hotel information. Any helpful information will be appreciated by attendees for setting up their plans for the wedding. Save the day magnets can be a wonderful aid to ensure invitees remember and plan to share a bride’s special day.
