Depending on what extent you plan to use your STD's (stop laughing...I'm tired of tying it out!) will greatly affect the wording. Most couples put the obvious...their names, the date, a reference to weddings, and a call for guests to save the date. My question is, "Is all that really necessary?"

Check out this one:

I think we get it, right? There's no need for any other information if you are simply using these as date savers for potential guests. If you plan on going the invite route, continue reading below.

And if you end up taking the advice of making picture save the dates, and you use your faces, do you even need your names? Less is more and that is true for these items, too. A funny quip is better than general information, so as you make these, take some time to decide what really needs to go on the face--or on your faces!

Cheap save the date ideas

One of the best ways you can save money is to make wedding invitations save the date magnets, which double not only as your save the dates, but also as your wedding invitations. The money savings is obvious, since you won't be making two different mailings, basically telling your guests the exact same thing: The who, what, when, and where of your wedding celebration. Here are a couple of important rules to using your save the date wedding magnets as your invites as well.

First, consider the size and scope of your wedding. If you will be having over 150 people attend, you may want to pass on making your refrigerator magnets your formal invitations. You will have a difficult time trying to keep track of all your RSVP's and using traditional wedding invites will be a more viable option for you.

Next, you need to make sure you include all import information on that one single magnet. Here's a great example that's missing one piece of information:

As you can see, the guests know when the wedding is, when to RSVP by, and where to RSVP to. The problem is, where will the wedding be held? A simple solution would be to cram the info in somewhere on whichever save the date invitations you create. This may detract from the overall look that you're going for, making the save the dates + invites too busy. A more techy idea is to add a website link that will have all the info listed online. For instance, you could say, "Visit www.joe&sarahsweddinginfo.info for the surprise location!" Notice what that sentence does? It adds a bit of mystery and gets your guests to take action! You may want to follow up with emails to all guests, including a direct link to the website.

Finally, using save the date photo magnets is such a great way to save money, make them personal, and to make sure they are fun! I've written a ton of articles on the subject of creating funny save the date wedding magnets and personalized save the date photo magnets.

(very important family) would be able to seal that date off so they could avoid missing your wedding.

Your means of RSVP need to be made very clear, too.

It's true history comes from the Romans, but a French-Canadian explorer by the name of Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville landed 60 miles south of New Orleans in 1699, naming it Pointe due Mardi Gras. He also established "Fort Louis de la Louisiane"--currently Mobile--in 1702. Then in 1703, the small settlement of Fort Louis de la Mobile celebrated the first ever Mardi Gras.

Secret Societies

Mobile established a secret society called the Masque de la Mobile in 1704. These were similar to our current Mardi Gras Krewes. In 1710, the Boeuf Graf Society was formed and paraded and marched from 1711 until 1861. The procession was held using a gigantic bull's head pushed along on wheels by sixteen men. This happened, by tradition, on Fat Tuesday.

In 1718, New Orleans was established by Jean-Baptise Le Moyne. Mardi Gras was celebrated openly in New Orleans in the 1730's but not by having parades. It was celebrated with elegant and glamorous society balls thanks to Louisiana's Governor The Marquis de Vaudreuil. This was in the 1740's and became the model for the New Orleans Mardi Gras balls of today.

The earliest reference to Mardi Gras Carnival appeared in 1781 in a report to the Spanish colonial governing body. This is when the Perseverance Benevolent & Mutual Aid Association formed, becoming on if the first of hundreds of clubs and carnival organizations formed in New Orleans.

Ten Wedding Reception Mistakes You've Never Heard Of

2010-06-11T14:51:00.000-07:00

One of the biggest worries most couples don't think about (especially when they are just getting their save the date magnets out)when it comes to their nuptials celebration is that their reception is fun and simply outstanding. For the most part, couples say that they want loved ones and friends to pack the dance floor, but the reality is, as long as their friends and family enjoy themselves, they will consider their wedding party a big winner, even without a packed dance floor all night. When they send out their save the date wedding magnets, they aren't thinking of the following issues. Here are the ten surprisingly simple yet destructive items that most future brides and grooms, wedding planners, locale directors, and more never think about. A few might not apply to your event, but I think most will.

The timing of the cake cutting ceremony.
Some wedding consultants or deejays will plan the cake cutting for late in the evening. This is okay if you’re having a laid back affair without dancing. If not, there are two negatives with this. Number one, a lot of guests might have gone already so they don’t get a slice, leaving a lot of left over cake. Next, deep into your party is when the dancing is usually at its best. You have to stop the music and turn up the lights to high, thereby laying waste to any semblance of a party air. I recommend doing this event right after dinner. Don’t worry. People don’t leave because of the cake cutting. They leave because of were the cake cutting is scheduled. And, who says, “Man, I can’t wait for that awesome cake cutting ceremony!”

The bar is not in the dining and dancing room.
This one is not one you’d consider an issue, but it definitely will have a huge impact on your wedding reception, which is why I list it at the top. Many couples think having their bar in another room, out in the lobby or patio, or in some instances, far and away like down a hall, is a cool idea because their guests can get relief from the reception dining area to go have a cocktail. The first negative is quite a few of your friends and family will be out of the room ordering up shots of booze at potentially crucial times like the money dance, and so on. A second bad thing is a big group of your guests tend to chill at the bar and these are typically the fun, loud partying types. As you can see, your party is about half full and the obnoxious drunks aren’t being seen or heard. The answer is to tell the catering manager that they will put a bar in the room. You can't print this information up on your save the date magnets, but make sure your guests know that you will have another bar somewhere else for overflow while still having your main bar in the room. This will make sure the fun ones are with you.

The newlyweds get pinned down in the vestibule talking to their friends and family.
If the couple take off to the water closet, on the way back, some of their crowd will probably catch them in the entrance area and want to enjoy their company and sometimes take the opportunity to say so long . Sure, using the powder room can be a fifty minute nightmare for the bride, and that’s fine. My thought is, if guests want to talk to you for an extra lengthy period of time, have them follow you back in to the main room and chat to you there. This way, your crowd can see you haven’t taken off for your honeymoon and you’re there for the duration of the celebration. Something couples don't consider while they are sending out their wedding save the date magnets.

The photographer drags the newlyweds away at the wrong time.
If this comes about your friends and family may look all around the reception area, not be able to find you, and use this as an opportune time to jump ship. You may have used this same photographer to shoot your photo save the date magnets, too. Of course, the bride and groom may want to get sunset pictures or what not. If that’s the deal do your best to return quick! Otherwise, try to get all of your pictures finished before the reception dinner.

The dinner hour is boring.
If your friends and family are enjoying each others company, and having enjoyable repartee during the meal, you should be fine. If not, your energy in the room is at a 2 out of ten and then when it’s time for everyone to start dancing at level 10, they have trouble adjusting from the lower levels of energy. You’ll need to do something fun and engaging to get the energy going in the room so when dancing starts, they are good to go. I want your wedding to go to an eleven! Inquire your band leader or DJ for some ideas that are non-cheesy that you can do or go to wedding songs timeline planner for some unique ideas.

The Next Five Wedding Reception Mistakes You've Never Heard Of!

Don’t forget, I’ve done wedding events where folks have said that it was the greatest party they’ve attended—and the dancing was nonexistent. Don’t focus on the dance floor. Keep your direction on getting your friends and family engrossed in fun and unique ways, and your reception will be incredible. After getting your save the date magnets sent off, check out this wedding insurance blog for the rest of these awful but obscure wedding celebration downers.

An Addendum: Save the date mistakes

2010-06-02T12:37:00.000-07:00

Here's my latest list of save the date magnets for events and parties. Not all of these serve that purpose, though. Many of these are being used as the invitation, too, which is great! Only for weddings are they usually used in the traditional way and not as the actual invite.

Save the date magnets for weddings are the most popular, because it is such an important date, you don't want anyone to miss it. Bridal showers are a much smaller event, but still so important to those brides out there, which is why they rank so high. Other wedding events like bachelorette or bachelor parties and rehearsal or engagement dinners are usually sussed out without using a save the date.

Birthday save the date magnets usually double as the invite. Most people don't send out separate formal RSVP's after sending off the original magnets. It's a great opportunity to create funny save the date magnets, too. Anniversaries are a big deal, especially if we're talking about the decades of 10, 20, and 50 years. The reason why the birth announcements are so appealing is because you're able to print a picture of the baby on the actual magnet! It becomes an excellent keepsake.

Thank you's and calendars can go hand in hand with business promotions. You can usually find great deals on cheap save the date magnets for these items. Many businesses will send out a calendar to their clients with their promotional information printed up and also as a thank you for their business. So many proud parents will send off graduation save the date magnets as this event in their child's life is almost more important to them than to the actual graduate!. Finally, holidays, as in holiday parties like Christmas, fourth of July, etc. are a fun way to make sure no one is left out and that the party isn't brushed aside.

This won’t happen, especially with funny save the date wedding magnets. Besides, what’s more fun than sticking an invite up on a fridge?

They’re Personal! If you buy plain old invites, they usually don’t represent you or your upcoming event. A lot of times they are just a generic “you’re invited” card. It’s much better to take a fun picture, add your own unique save the date wording the date and time and place of the event, and you’re set!

Many times they will come out substandard in quality and when their invitees get them, they come across as cheap.

Why do they work so well? As I said earlier, I usually take a normal save the date card and, once I get all the info off of it, I toss it. If I do hang it on the fridge, it is done with a magnet anyway. Once it falls off, though, I get irritated and then throw it away. I always stick the refrigerator magnets up and they rarely fall off (unless they are holding up someone else's invite!). Also, I am constantly reminded about the upcoming event every time I go to the fridge, which is about ten times a day, ha ha.

To get the most out of them, all you need to do is make sure you design them to fit the style of the party and make sure they reflect who you are. Also, avoid trying to make them yourself, especially if you need save the date wedding magnets. You might get lucky and create a decent product, but it is best to leave it to the professionals. They really know what they are doing! I hope I’ve helped you as you decide between save the date magnets or cards for you upcoming special event.

Once you’ve settled on a company to go with, your next step is to either choose a design or make your own. I’ve written previous articles on how to create a personalized save the date wedding magnet but I will do a brief review. Everyone talks about their save the date magnets wording, but what’s more important is the actual picture that you use. I suggest staying away from the old cliché’s. We’re taking the plunge save the date magnets, we’re getting hitched save the date magnets, we’re tying the knot save the date magnets, etc. We’ve all heard and seen these way too much already. Put your names, the day (Saturday), the date, and location, if possible, and especially if it is a destination wedding. At least list the city for your wedding. I’ve always preached to get an awesome picture of the two of you to make save the date photo magnets and it will say it all. Then again, you might be able to come up with some excellent wording once you’ve taken a good look at your save the date magnets picture, too.

Save The Date Wedding Magnets

2010-05-05T21:46:00.000-07:00

One of the most used and often searched items are save the date wedding magnets. These are basically quick notes telling your close friends and family that you've gotten engaged and the inevitable wedding is coming. Sometimes they are not magnets, but simply cardboard or card stock or some other material. Most people prefer save the date magnets because of all the advantages, which I'll go over in a little bit.

There are so many companies out there selling these cheap save the date magnets, it's hard to weed through them all. You can try the search funtion at the top of this page as it does a good job of thinning out the companies you should avoid and focusing on the best companies that provide these save the dates with suggestions for save the date wording. Here's a list of the highest ranking magnet sites on Google:

All are dot com sites:
vistaprint
magnetstreet
myweddingreceptionideas
savethedatemagnet

And my favorite, wedding paper divas! These divas know what they are doing! First of all, they usually do free shipping for you. I've never seen the "use freeship" code disappear from their website. They have a great selection of funny save the date wedding magnets. Also, they have a samples program where you can actually get physical samples to see if it's exactly what you want.

You can get funny save the date magnets very cheap if you search and search, but then you start to sacrifice quality. They are not that expensive in the first place, especially compared to the rest of your wedding budget! Your best option is to figure out what kind of save the dates you want to get, then check out at least three different companies price-wise and quality (or at least from you you can see on the internet). Don't forget about the companies that send off the free samples, too.

If you want to add your own picture to fridge magnets, you need to make sure the company you're going to use has a high quality photo reproduction process. The last thing you want is to get your 200 or so save the date wedding magnets only to find out the picture you sent in looks like it was printed up using a dot matrix printer! I'm sure most companies out there have excellent photo reproduction. If not, there's no way they would stay in business! Still, you just never know. If you send your picture to them via email, make sure you send them the best quality photo you can, that way there's no excuses from their end that it's not their fault!

Once you get your picture in for your save the date photo magnets and you've got your design down, make sure you see a mock up. It will most likely be a jpeg or some other digital photo format, and that's okay. Again, if you've hired a top notch company like weddingpaperdivas, you can rest assured your refrigerator magnets will turn out looking just like the picture. Can they print up a sample of your actual product? I'm not too sure on this, but it doesn't hurt to ask. it may cost them too much to do this, but if you were to place a good faith deposit with them, they may just go the extra mile for you.

Finally, whichever company you choose, it is important that they have great customer communication and service! You'll only need your wedding save the date magnets once in your lifetime, so it's important that you can communicate with the company and be assured that everything is being produced on time and be updated on the progress. Visiting sites like nextag and shopping dot com and seeing how they rate is one step, but my suggestion is visit the websites, look at customer reviews there. Of course, these customer reviews will all be positive, but that's a good thing. If you want to get the real skinny on where brides are going for their save the date wedding magnets and whether they are happy or not would be the wedding boards like the knot, wedding bee, and wedding wire. Search for funny save the date magnets there and you'll get some ideas of where to shop and where to not!

As you can see, all these sites are available to you so you have a wide variety of companies to choose from. Remember, it's not about finding the cheapest company out there, but finding the best value for your dollar. Everybody wants to get a cheap price but nobody want to get cheap looking save the date wedding magnets, especially for such an important, once in a lifetime event!

Save The Date Magnets Wording and Save The Dates Wording

2010-05-05T16:22:00.000-07:00

One of the most asked question regarding save the date wedding magnets and save the dates in general is how you should write the wording. The funny thing is, your wording doesn't really matter all that much, especially if you're going to make save the date photo magnets. The most important aspect of your save the date is the basic information. Once you get that input, you can then play off of that for the personality part of your save the date magnets or cards.

Step 1: Get your basic information in, starting with your names. This is not your formal invite, but a quick hello letting everyone know about the wedding date coming up. So, what do is the basic info that you need to add? First your names. People need to know who the heck they got it from so put your names. I would certainly use your first names; Joe and Sally, Fred & Ginger, Brooks & Dunn...you get it. You could use your last names, but honestly, I think the people you'd be sending these off to will realize who sent it. "John & Sally? Who is this? Smith & Jones? Oh, now I know who that is!" Last names are even more useless if you are using your engagement photo or some other picture of you two together.

Next, the date. If you don't have a specific date in mind yet, don't bother making your funny save the date wedding magnets yet! Sending off a save the date card that says, "We're getting married next June! Save the date!" no one is going to save the entire month for you. And always, always, always list the actual DAY, Saturday, Sunday, Friday, whatever day. The reason behind this is because some people get confused and look at the wrong month or even the wrong year. Most weddings are planned well in a year in advance, so sometimes people will save the date--for the current year! So list the day, because odds are Saturday May 8th, 2010 will not be Saturday May 8th, 2011. This will help alleviate any confusion. Listing the date like this: Saturday, May 8th, 2010. You can even say evening or day if you want, but that's usually not necessary.

Finally, tell your friends and family to save the date! And that's about all you need. Of course, the more details you can share on your fridge magnets, the better, especially if you have a location in mind. If you're having a destination wedding, this is especially important. "John & Yoko are engaged! Save the date Saturday, December 31st, 2010 for our wedding in Hawaii!" works very well. I can only imagine the funny save the date magnets you could come up with this wedding!

The cliche's are certainly done. You know, these: We're getting hitched! We're taking the plunge! We're tying the knot! We're making it official! And so on. Stick with the basic information for the save the date wording and add it to a unique and interesting photo of you two and you'll get a much better response. If you must say something silly, make it more personal so it fits you two. If you love something in particular, or if you have a theme (Hawaii=We're getting Maui'd! almost passes mustard), say something with that in mind. Save the date magnets don't have to be the same old same old. They can be unique and interesting if you make them about you.

Now, what you really want to concentrate on is the wording for your actual formal invites. These can still be fun, but you will need to give them some formal feel especially in contrast to your save the dates. YOu can even focus on cheap save the date magnets here. Your Invitations will reflect more on how you want your wedding's atmosphere to be, whether it's classy, romantic, cute, fun, etc. but that is another topic for another article.

Your wording should not be the focus of your wedding save the date magnets. Basic information is what you're going for here, names, specific date, including the actual day of the week, the actual occasion (wedding, in this instance) and finally, location, especially if you're going the destination route. Always enhance your wording with humor, making them funny save the date magnets. Keep the information basic yet pointed and focus your attention on the picture and attitude of your save the date magnets and you'll be on the right track.

Funny Save The Date Wedding Magnets, Cards, Wording, And Pictures

2010-04-22T13:27:00.001-07:00

When looking for ideas to make funny save the date magnets , you really need to start with your own personality. Are you formal? Are you funny? Are you serious? Are you romantic? Creative? Unique? Make your custom fridge magnets wording fit with how you want your wedding to turn out. Check out the examples below.

If you are looking for the best funny ideas for save the date wording, some might suggest that you try looking up different terms for the words wedding, marriage and engaged. Here's what I came up with after just a few minutes of research for the word marriage: ally, associate, become one, bond, catch, combine, conjoin, conjugate, contract, couple, drop anchor, espouse, get hitched, get married, join, knit, land, lead to altar, link, match, mate, merge, one, pledge, plight one's troth, promise, relate, settle down, take vows, tie, tie the knot, unify, unite, walk down aisle, wed, yoke. None are very funny, so don't waste your time with this if you are serious about making funny save the date wedding magnets.

Whether your making cards, invitations, or post cards, or adding a calendar, you might consider making it all about the picture and less about the wording. "We're getting hitched" is not very funny but with a photo of you two getting attached to a trunk bumper...Now we're talking! If you have a favorite restaurant you go to, get a photo of you two working behind the counter or serving the food with the statement "We're making it official!" This can work with whatever your favorite past time is together.

Here are some other potentially funny save the date wording slang terms you could use:

Gettin' hitched
Tie the knot
The beginning of the end
A Marriage is a lot like a coffin.. And each kid is an extra nail (lol)
Getting hooked
Tied down
Two become one
Taking the plunge
funny taking the plunge save the date
Another one bites the dust

This leads into another free templates idea: Making funny save the dates out of your favorite song. Like the above mentioned Another one bites the dust, you could use the song by Nat King Cole called, "The Party's Over" or "At Last" by Etta James. Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain" play right into this idea of having funny save the date magnets. Again, just do some of your own research via the interwebs search engines and see what comes up.

You can also tie in the "It's never gonna happen" scenario now that you two are finally getting married. For instance, the hell freezes over concept or when pigs fly or even when monkeys fly out of my butt! Making fun of the fact that it's a miracle you are finally getting married is a great way to make them funny. Making them yourself will make them cheap save the date magnets.
For me, it all goes back to the picture. Save the date photo magnets speak a thousand words and seem to be less trite. A popular way to go for the diy types is the photo booth strip of four pictures in a vertical row and some kind of comment. What is it that you love? Make that your picture. Love the movies?

Makes for an interesting party, for sure. These are great to make funny save the date magnets.

Birth Announcement Save The Date Magnets:
A bun in the oven is a fun announcement for your friends and family.

They will definitely leave the magnet on the refrigerator until the baby comes!

Birthday Save The Date Magnets:
Another year older, another year wiser! And another reason to PARTY! Get your magnets out about 6 months before the party date and most will make sure they are there. They won't forget, because every time they get hungry, they'll see your party invite!

Save The Date Magnets For Birthdays

2010-02-18T14:03:00.000-08:00

As most of you know, save the date magnets are mainly used to quickly announce an upcoming wedding or a recent engagement (which will eventually lead to an upcoming wedding!). Save the date wedding magnets are not the only use for these fun and quirky items. With the quality of these items going up and the price of these items going down, there's no reason why you can't use them to announce any upcoming event! One event that comes up a lot is the birthday.

I used to suggest that you save your save the date magnets for only the biggies; you know, your 21st, 30th, 40th, the big five-oh, etc. But now, due to the reasons mentioned earlier, there's no reason why you can't just go for it with any birthday. Whether it's you 25trh or your kid's 12th, if you're going a little larger than normal for it, as in, more guests, better food, funner theme, using these fridge magnets will be appreciated by all invited. A lot of people receiving these invites will be happy because they will be able to mark off the date and not miss the extravagance! There's nothing worse than hearing about a party after it has passed, especially if people are raving about it,so be sure to let your friends and family know what's coming before it's too late.

As for your save the date magnet's look, it is best to theme it along with the party theme. if you're having a mardi gras party theme, beads and the Fleur-de-lis will fit the bill. Just avoid girls flashing, if you know what I mean! If you're going Hawaiian, grass skirts and obnoxious shirts could work. I'm sure whatever company you choose to go with will have many ideas and preset designs for you to choose from. As always, you can probably make your own save the date photo magnets. Doing so would be nothing but fun and probably hilarious, so go ahead, get dressed in the theme and snap away!

As for wording your announcement, there is a trick I will share with you later. But first, try writing something witty yourself. You can look up other verbiage by searching specifically for that birth year or that age. For instance, you could type in the search term "50th birthday announcement" or "21st birthday invitation wording." You can take several ideas and combine them into one, making them your own. Put it together with your themed picture and you can be sure your invitees will be sticking your save the date magnet up on their fridge for all to see!

As for the trick I mentioned earlier, here it is: Drop by Target, CVS, or Hallmark and browse through their greeting cards. It is a gold mine for funny and unique ideas that you can "borrow" and apply to your birthday magnet. It would be wise to reword a little bit to avoid a copyright infringement, although I doubt you would have to worry about this. When was the last time you heard American Greetings suing someone for using their verbiage?

So, when making your birthday announcements, leave the boring ol' cardboard invite behind and go for something new and fun. If you're planning on getting wedding save the date magnets, there's no reason why you can't apply this advice to those, too, especially if you make funny save the date wedding magnets. Either build it at the website you've picked as your provider, or take and upload your won picture. If you're not the creative type and can't really come up with some hilarious way of wording your announcement, feel free to do some research on your own using greeting cards or the internet. Either way, your save the date magnets will be the talk of the year.

Odd Uses For Your Save the Date Magnets

2010-02-15T08:40:00.001-08:00

Awww, ain't this on of the cutest save the date magnets y'all ever saw? So, it's a dog party. And this is just one of the unusual ways to use your save the date magnets. Of course, this is not something you would do every time you took your dog to the park, but if this was an annual event, you could easily change the date from being so specific to, say, "The first Friday every April!" or if it is a monthly deal, "The first Friday of the month!"

Another unusual use for your save the date magnets is for business cards. If you can find a specific date or season to remind your clients of your services, these are a great "business card" that's not a business card. For instance, let's say you're a DJ and you do a lot of Christmas or Holiday parties every year. there's no reason why you can't send off your save the date magnets to your current and past clients reminding them that "The holiday season is almost here, so get your party planning in gear!" If you send them out in June, you can beat the rush of calls from other DJ's and quite possibly beat them out every year by hanging around on the refrigerator in the break room! This goes for spring window cleaners, summertime exterminators, florists for Mother's Day, Valentine's day and more, the list goes on and on.

Another important reason why these save the date magnets work so well as business cards is their size. If you purchase regular sized business card magnets, they are just too smal lto really have an impact. Not only will you have more advertising space, but people will prefer to use your magnet to hold up Junior's A+ in spelling! The larger size gives your magnet staying power which these other small magnets just don't have. The minute someone opens the fridge door, sllllliiiip! Down goes the paper or papers, and into the trash goes the tiny worthless magnet.

One more unusual use for your save the date magnets is as a Christmas card. So many people get Christmas cards from their friends and family and then hang them up on the fridge through the holidays. This way, it's much easier for them and they will certainly appreciate your unique idea. And I'm sure they will put it to use by using it to hang other people's cards to their fridge!

Of course, the most popular use is for weddings. The day you get married is such an important day that you want everyone to make sure they "save the date!"They usually work best if you make funny save the date wedding magnets!

As you can see, these unique uses aren't crazy or over-the-top. They are actually practical and smart. If you own a business, there's always an important date that you can work in and relate to your particular profession. And if you make the magnet attractive, there's no reason why people (customers) wouldn't simply leave your magnet on their fridge for months or even years. Not a bad return on investment if you ask me. Send one out every couple years and you'll be on your way to making money by spending money--very little money, that is. Save the date magnets may be that extra edge you need to succeed or impress!

Uses for your Save The Date Magnets

2010-02-11T16:58:00.001-08:00

A great way to let your friends and family know of an important upcoming event is by using save the date magnets. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, these magnets are sent in lieu of the traditional save the date card, which is usually stuck up on the fridge by a magnet anyway!
Some use these magnets as a way to inform people that a very special event has been set and that it is very important that they save this particular date. Just so you know, these save the date magnets are not usually used in place of the formal RSVP, but simply for making sure the most important people in your life know about your event right away. Also they are great for reminding people about your event throughout the days leading up to it.
The most popular use of the save the date magnet is for weddings. Weddings don’t come once every year for us like birthdays—we’d go broke if they did—so it is important to get the date set and the information out to your friends and family as soon as possible. It is a once in a lifetime event (or should be) and it would be awful if a favorite aunt and uncle made plans for Maui because they didn’t realize you were getting married the same weekend! Of course, one option would be to have them come to your wedding and then they let you have their Hawaii trip for your honeymoon! Back to reality, printing up the formal invitations and RSVP cards can take weeks, especially if you care about how they turn out and what they look like. So the best thing to do is order up some save the date magnets and get them out right away. When your guests receive them, most likely they will go on their fridge and they will see it almost every day. They will be sure to make it to your wedding now! Eventually you can send off your actual invitations, and even put that on the save the date magnet: “Formal Invitation Forthcoming.”
Another great use for these magnets is for special birthdays (20, 30, 40, 50, etc.). In this instance, they can serve as the actual invitation too. Just be sure to put your RSVP phone number and/or email in the wording. Something to the effect of, “Please RSVP to 555-5555 or fkrvxvxvxfn@emailz.com or we won’t let you in, ha ha!” would serve well in making sure people actually respond!
Finally, these save the date magnets can be used for just about any special event you have coming up. There’s no reason why they wouldn’t work for a bar-mitsfah, a sweet 16, a retirement, an anniversary, and so on and so on. And there are so many designs and styles to choose from, you should have no problem finding exactly what fits with your particular celebration!
If you theme it correctly and get them out in a timely manner, your friends and family will end up telling you how adorable, cute, funny, interesting, helpful, etc. your save the date magnets are. And you’ll be able to beam with pride over your very first step in your long journey of planning your event. Have fun creating them. Just make sure your save the date magnets fit with your style and personality!
