Simple Save the Date Magnets!

So those of you in the know, know that I sent these out a while a go but as life has been madness I haven't updated since before Christmas!

 SHOCK HORROR!

So here we go,

How to create a personal Save the Date card that people definitely won't forget!

Make a simple Save the Date MAGNET that they can place on their fridge and see everyday... no excuses for forgetting that way, as you always use the fridge... and they can keep it as a memento!

I researched Save the Dates online the day we booked the date. I found hundreds of different and exciting ways of telling people to put the date of our wedding in their diaries. From plants to crackers to sweets and even sending singers to every door.... yes I found that a little extreme too! 

I couldn't believe how many things people do for Save the Dates, when, until I started planning this wedding, I'd never even heard of sending out Save the Dates.

We did discuss it with each other at some length but deep down I knew what I wanted to do.

I wanted it to be something more than a card, more than a gimmick and slightly useful... but cheap! I wanted them to be able to see it everyday until the day and everyday after that too (which will  also remind Hoff of our anniversary too).

A magnet fitted the bill.

BUT WHERE CAN YOU PERSONALISE MAGNETS FOR CHEAP?

Ohhhhhh how I love Vistaprint right now! 

Vistaprint is a DIY Bride and Grooms wedding planning BEST FRIEND!

 Check them out on the link above. There are hundreds of designs and colour themes to pick from and they always have deals on so it works out cheaper... depending on the number of guests and your budget! 

I found some really pretty mismatching postcards and envelopes in TK Maxx...  yep TK Maxx! This shop is also a wedding planners best friend as there are always weird and wonderful things to find in there from creating unique décor and beyond.

I also found some ink stamps in HobbyCraft which fitted my theme perfectly. They do a large range and can fit any theme. A similar stamp on all stationary can tie it all together and look amazing... also they are quite cheap

I paired the magnets up with the postcards by folding over a bit of masking tape (because I had no double sided tabs but if I had tabs I'd have used them) and I wrote a short poem to stick on the back.

There are several ways you could do this, Print out your own postcards that match perfectly to your theme or buy them like I did.... you can even buy them on Vistaprint! Either way they make a lovely and eye catching way to send your Save the Date magnet.

Now for the tricky part... picking the design and wording that fits you and your wedding...

Good Luck!
