Save the Date Magnets
Save the Date announcements are a reflection of today's busy lifestyle. Cards and Magnets sent several months ahead of the wedding invitation are a recent trend that is quickly becoming a modern tradition.
Why use Save the Date Magnets instead of Save the Date Cards? A magnetic announcement will go up in the center of every family's home - the kitchen. Save the Date Magnets will be proudly displayed on the refrigerator; cards are more likely to be thrown away, or shuffled in with the unwanted mail.
What is Save the Date etiquette? The #1 rule is that you must send an invitation to every guest who receives a Save the Date. After all, it wouldn't be right to tell someone to save the date for your wedding, and then exclude them from the big day.
After the #1 rule, there are no rules! Save the Dates are yours to have fun with. If you have a specific theme or wedding style, then your Save the Date Magnets can reflect that style. If you're not yet sure what kind of wedding you'll have, be creative, and express yourself. Choose a magnet style that will evoke the season of your wedding, your favorite floral motif, or a simple design that will showcase your gorgeous engagement photo.
Many couples want to include a photo on their Save the Date Magnets. Choose a picture that shows how excited and in love you are! If you don't want to use a regular photo, you could use avatars from your favorite video games, drawings of yourself, or your favorite costumed picture from last Halloween. Be funny and shoot a picture of your pets in formal wear – your friends and family will love to see your personality shine!
Flash Moments offers a wide range of magnet styles that don't use a photo, if you don't want to send your picture to everyone.
There are some key pieces of information to include on your Save the Date Cards or Magnets.
- Make sure guests know WHO is getting married by including your first names or your full names if you don't know all of your guests very well (i.e. people your family forced you to invite).
- WHAT is happening? Make sure you’re you mention that you're having a wedding! Some people might be confused if they receive a picture of your dogs with a future date, but they don't understand WHAT is going on.
- Guests should definitely know WHEN your wedding will take place, so include the date. Many weddings are on Saturdays, so if you’re having a non-Saturday wedding, you might want to write "Friday, June 12..."
- If you're getting married in a city other than your hometown, you should mention WHERE your wedding will be held. This is especially important if you’re inviting out-of-town guests, or having an out-of-town wedding.
