Save The Date Magnets

ashleymarieriley

What did you guys opt for when it came to your Save the Dates? I always thought I wanted a magnet but now I'm thinking it may just be a waste of $. How many people are actually going to keep them? Also, I have found that the postcard versions of Save the Dates are much more affordable. 

Any good sites other than weddingpaperdivas? Has anyone tried any shops on Etsy?

IMO, yes, magnets are a waste of money. No one ever keeps them, and they're too flimsy to actually hold anything.

We used NextDayFlyers.com for post cards, which cost us $22 to order. We've gotten a lot of positive feedback on them. They looked nice and were cheap.

We're using VistaPrint for the invites/RSVPs because I got a Groupon coupon.

Do you have a stationery printer selected? Maybe they could discount on the whole shebang

We actually have the STD magnet of one of our BFF couples on the fridge from 2010.  But there aren't many others that we would keep.

I vote for the postcard. I've seen some from a Shutterfly type site that couldn't be too terribly expensive.

I've been to the homes of several people we sent our magnets to, and they are still on people's fridges. I think it just depends on whether or not people like magnets or not. They might also just never have gotten around to taking it off b/c they just forgot it was there.  We got ours from Vistaprint, and they were very inexpensive.

we didn't do STDs - unnecessary expense.

I did STDs as a postcard and I see them on my friends and family's fridges right now. I think they are sufficient.

For STD magnets, I've kept them until the person got married and then disposed of it and I felt it served its purpose.

I'm doing postcards because I consider the magnet a waste of money personally

Tomorrow is our 7th anniversary, and we still see our magnets on friends'/families' fridges.  But they may just be too lazy to pitch them.  Ours weren't that expensive, but you're right about postcards being cheaper.

I sent magnets, they are good reminders on your fridge!  although i guess you could stick a postcard on your fridge too.

In all my years I've gotten one Save the Date.  It was a magnet and we did keep it until we moved.
