Save the Dates & Magnets

I did magnet save the dates because I have often thought the exact same thing! How am I supposed to put this on my fridge?!?!?
I’m glad you thought to send the two out early and were able to make the others magnets before sending the out!

Good idea to put the magnets on yourself! My Save The Dates were wooden magnets, the biggest issue we had was figuring out how to mail them! Once everyone got them, we got good feedback from our guests on them.

I really, really don't get why sending magnets with a save the date would be required. I hope adding magnets to your envelopes didn't astronomically increase your postage!

Some people like to put magnets and cards on their fridge; they already have some magnets with which to hang a card they want to display. Some people don't put magnets on their fridge (they have a non-magnetic surface, they don't like clutter, whatever reason) so they wouldn't need you to send them one; they will put the save the date some place else.

This isn't to criticize you for doing it this way, but more to reassure anyone else planning to send out non-magnet save the dates that you don't need to run out and get magnets now!

I totally agree with you! I was so happy with how they looked, and that's all she said. It never even crossed my mind. I told my FH, "She's unhappy that there isn't a magnet on the back," and his response was "Tell her to just put a magnet on the front!"

(they were really small, thin magnets, so no extra postage or I would not have even considered it!)

I personally like the magnets better because people can stick them to their fridge and don't have to try to remember where they put it. We have save the dates from almost every wedding we have been to hanging on our fridge.

I bought magnets from amazon! This is what mine look like. Everyone loves when there’s magnets

Our guests LOVED ours!

DH wanted to get magnets, but I veto-ed the idea, because I didn't want people throwing out magnets after the STD was no longer useful.

But we also like to buy magnets as our souvenirs when we go places, so it's easy for us to just stick stuff on the fridge!

That's so funny from your mom!! 😆

We leave magnets on the fridge just for moments like this! 😉

My friends STD from 2017 (magnet) is currently holding up my friends 2021 STD that is magnetless 😂
