Types available

There are plenty of options when it comes to magnetic save the date cards. There are many retailers and suppliers that will put them together for you. You can either choose one of their designs, provide a pdf file of your own design, or give them a photo to personalize. They will create the magnets for you and send them in the post.

While this is a pretty easy process, it is also the most expensive way of sending out save the date magnets. A simple design without a photo can cost $300 (£200) for just 100 magnets, not including any postage. It's possible to create your own at a fraction of the cost.

There are many different way to make your own magnets for saving the date, depending on the final effect you are after.

Simply design your invite on your computer, print it out on a nice thick card stock and apply magnetic tape or circles to the back. For a more formal look you could laminate the cards before applying the tape.

You can also buy purpose made fridge magnets that have a peel away sticker on them. Take the sticker off and place your card on for a great looking save the date magnet. This looks fantastic if you make your cards the same size as the magnet.

If you are sending save the date postcards then look for small magnetic stick on circles. Just attach them to the corners of your postcard and you have an instant magnetic save the date card.

If you're clever with graphic design then consider making your save the date cards with magnetic printer paper. You can buy this paper in sheets and it works with most desktop printers. Just press print, cut them up with a guillotine, and your homemade magnets are ready for posting!
