Somewhat of a prodigal knottie

Good morning Ladies!!  As of today I have 7 months until I become a Mrs!!!  I'm starting to get really excited and the wedding nightmares started about 3 weeks ago (SMH).  We signed the contract with our caterer about 2 weeks ago and I met with a baker (not many to choose from where I live) to go over cake flavors.  I'm waiting to go to the Bridal Show on the 27th before I pick a florist because I was told they normally have nice discount packages at the bridal show.  My only problem is I'm behind with sending out the STDs..I finally broke down and did them myself and used a vendor we use here at work to produce them.  However, the magnet holders did not come with them so now I am having the hardest time finding holders that will fit the STDs.  So if any of you ladies know where I can get magnet holders only please let me know.  I've googled, checked Wal-art & Hobby Lobby.  (Sorry for being kinda long)

Welcome back to the board!!! You have some great checks so far, congrats.
What are magnet holders?

Thank you!!

They are like business card holders.  They are I guess a piece of heavy cardstock paper with slits in them to hold a business card.  I found 1 site but the holders are too small.  I also saw that I can order them on magnet street separately byt I was hoping to find them at a much cheaper price.  PIP below

I don't know a place to get the magnet holder but just wanted to say don't feel too behind about getting out your STD's.  I didn't get to send mine out until 5 1/2 months out (thanks to my procrastinating FI lol)

Seems like a straightforward DIY. Would you consider doing it yourself? Maybe buy cardstock cut & slice... or something...
I used photo corners from Michaels to hold my magnets...

Winter normally it's my FI that procrastinates but this time it's all on me being very indecisive I wanted to order them from Magnet Street but then I came across a DIY template and fell in love with with.

Thanks for the idea Mypasmita..I'm not a very artistic person not even to cut a straight line (LOL) but I just may give that a try.  We don't have a Michaels here and I went to Hobby Lobby and they didn't have anything I could use so sounds like a trip to Wally World for some cardstock is coming tonight! Thanks ladies!!

Yeah I wanted to second what winter said.  I sent my save the date 5 months out.  And family complained a lil' but I don't think they understand how this whole wedding thing works.  I was only a month late.  Like they really would've made plans had I sent it the standard 6-8 months in advance.  And 8 months is really for DW.  Anytime before then, they would've just forgotten about it anyways.
