How much did you spend on your save the dates?

Is $200 pretty normal?  Or is this considered a lot?  Or cheap?

    I spent like $300 for a magnet mounted on a custom-designed card.  I bought 100, and that included envelopes.

    I did the same thing.. I think it is a waste of money on them to spend much more than that..

    Ours were I think $3.00 each.  Totally worth it to me -- I loved them and they fit the location of the wedding perfectly.

    Do you know how often magnetstreet has sales?  I like their look, but without a sale or coupon they are a little expensive.

    Got mine off Etsy, spent $125 on 100.  They were cardstock and we also spent money to put magnets on the back, so after that and postage it was probably close to $200 total to buy and send them.  It was worth it to me though, I loved them!

    We did weddingpaperdivas.com  Got about 110 for under $100

    We spent about $200 for 150 from Magnet Street.  Not sure why we ordered 150, when we could have easily ordered 125 (we only sent out about 115).

    i ended up paying $173 on magnet street for 150 magnets, envelopes, cards to mount the magnets on, return address labels, and envelope seals.  if you order samples from them they will send you a code to use so that whatever you spent in samples comes off your total. they came out beautiful :)

    I spent $200 with minted.com They always have promo codes so if you go with them, make sure to see if they have one.

    I consider it expensive, but this is because I got them for $50.00.

    I spent less than $50 on 100 save the dates.  We made our own magnets using photo paper and adhesive magnet paper and we attached the magnets with removable glue dots to rack cards we designed on VistaPrint.

    50 magnets with 50 envelops, plus shipping were 106.63 total at Magnet Street.  I am very happy with the save the date cards.  They are so cute! Smile
