I always do. But I'm not sure if it's worth it to spend the extra money if most other people don't. What do you do with a StD magnet?

    I did STD magnets. Since I sent them out, I saw them on quite a few fridges in the homes of our family and friends.

    I LOVE STD magnets! I even hang regular post card type ones on our fridge :) With that being said, IDK if I want to send out magnets with our pics on them (from our engagement session), or if I want to get ones with the NYC skyline that I really loved.

    I chose option A for your poll above, but I really do just want a margarita.

    I still have the magnet on my fridge from my sister's wedding, 5 years and 4 moves later.

    I see our STD magnets on fridges regularly when we visit friends and family.

    I put it on the fridge until after the wedding and then I stick it in a box I have of old magnets. Yes, it is strange I have a box of old magnets but my dad used to collect them so I got half of them and my sister got half of them. So we both have boxes of old magnets that just sit there collecting dust.

    yes I do. Even if it's not a magnet I stick STD on the fridge. 

     That said, on CBS SUNDAY morning they had an article about magnets. Because of a shift to stainless steal magnet companies have lost a lot of business because they do not stick on stainless steal. 

     How sad :-(

     I think I would have to find an alternative. I love things hanging on a fridge.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    Yep, I always hang them on my fridge (even the non-magnet) kind.

    We did post cards, and I have seen them on every invitees fridge that I have visited since :)

    This is a good point.  I would probably stick a postcard to my fridge with a magnet as well.

    I put them up on my fridge but only because they are a magnet.  When they aren't magnets they get thrown in the random pile of papers on my island and get lost in the shuffle only to be found 6 months later when I finally get around to filing the paperwork.

    LOL!  This is me as well.  I think I mainly put them up because I can then use them to hold up other things on the fridge.

    This is probably a good reminder that I need to clean off my fridge of all the magnets of weddings that have already happened ...

    We actually did some magnets and some postcards because we knew that the elder family members would not be likely to put an STD magnet on the fridge.

    We have one on our fridge... the wedding was over a year ago.  I would have thrown it out, but it's H's cousin and he wanted to keep it.  He also takes personalized favors from weddings.  I don't get it.

    I have a magnetic white board by my desk, so that's where they go. The fridge is for takeout menus.

    I'll take a margarita. Make it a double please.

    STDs usually go on my fridge whether it's a magnet or just a postcard.

    It seems like everytime I go to someone's house there is an StD magnet on the fridge, so I think it's safe to say most people don't toss them. I'm not sure how many people are actually using them as reminders or just to hold other things up on the fridge though.

    Yes, I do, and I have been to several people's houses who still have ours on their fridge over 2 years later. I like magnets, so I would keep it.

    I've never gotten a magnetic one but I put normal ones on my fridge until the wedding week then I throw it out. Except my brother's- his is still up 9 months after the wedding.

    Even when they aren't a magnet I pretty much always put them on the fridge.

    I've never received one, but seen many on friend's fridges. I did put my cousin's StD on our fridge, even though she sent them 4 months before the wedding, misspelled my name and didn't include FI's last name. :)

    And I do just want a margarita, but am on antibiotics and not drinking currently.

    Don't ever make me choose between margaritas and anything else ever again.
    Sorry @lolo883.  Let it henceforth be known that everybody gets margaritas whether you choose to answer the StD question or not.

    Should we go back to turtles as the default non-response? ;)

    I always stick them on my fridge.  If its a really close friend or family member I'll save them and use them all the time. If not, they sometimes get tossed.  I kind of wish I had done STD magnets. I feel like anytime we go to a friend or family's house they have our postcard STD stuck to the fridge any way. I guess it would've been more convenient to have STD magnets. I just wasn't sure if other people actually use the ones that they receive.

    Um...I have a stainless steel fridge and the magnets stick to it. IS IT NOT REAL STAINLESS STEAL?

    Not necessarily. Stainless steel is an alloy, so it can have varying degrees of magnetism depending on its makeup.

    They go right on my fridge and I have a bunch accumulated over the year, even when we moved last year, the old ones went back on the fridge.

    I said I've never got at STD magnet. I've actually never got a STD for a wedding, usually just a verbal or FB message then the invitation. ETA: I do put invitations on the fridge with Game of Thrones magnets.
