Hi Ladies,
I love the idea of a save the date magnet -- so in an effort to save some money I was looking online at "magnetstreet.com" has anyone used this site for theirs?? Is $149 for 100 a good deal or should I keep looking? haha they also have a 20% off promo for the next week that i'd like to take advantage of if its a good deal!
Also.. how far in advance did you send out your save the dates??
Thanks ladies!

Re: Save the Dates..
Hello, my save the date wasn't magnetic, so I'm not sure if that's a good deal or not. However, I believe you send them out 6 months before your wedding date.
And they go out 6-9 months before the wedding. Good luck!
[QUOTE]I don't have any experience with magnastreet although I see they are highly recommended on the boards. I got magnet "STD"'s but used them as St. Patrick's Day "cards" from vistaprint with a groupon/living social deal. I think I got 80 of them and only paid the $17 (groupon) plus $10 (living social) in actual cost for the deals, and then had to pay shipping which I believe totaled around $20 for both orders. I had to throw in some totes and notepads to not loose any of the groupon/deal amount I had purchased. I was pretty excited and have priced out actual STD's and plan to use vistaprint for them. And they go out 6-9 months before the wedding. Good luck!

I also used Vistaprint and paid maybe $15 for 50 small & 20 large magnets. We designed them ourselves & uploaded the images. It was great for us!

We even changed ours two times through the assistance with their graphic designers and they were a dream to work with. Great company, I would definitely give them business again.
For sending them out, it really depends on where your guests are. If you have a lot of out of town guests, you should send it out earlier (10-12 months) so that they can make their travel arrangements. We only have 3 or 4 out of state guests, so we let them know verbally as soon as we booked out venue, and then sent out our save the dates 8 months before (I sent them out in January for our August wedding).
