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.
