Sending Your Save the Date Magnets

The address on the envelope is one of the most important factors when it comes to ensuring the safe and speedy delivery of your Save the Date Magnets to family and friends. It may seem obvious, but a simple mistake or oversight can mean a lost announcement magnet.

First, before sending out your magnets, you should contact guests to confirm that you have the correct spelling of their names and their most up-to-date address information. Preventing these errors now will save you both time and money.

You should also check each guest’s ZIP code against the information given by the U.S. Postal Service. The USPS offers a service on their website, at USPS.com, where you can input an address and the corresponding ZIP code is provided. It’s another easy way to make sure your magnets get where they’re going quickly, so everyone can have as much time as possible to prepare for your special day.

Flash Moments Save the Date Magnets only require one first class stamp for mailing. The full package – one magnet, one magnet presentation card, and one envelope – will weigh less than one ounce. There is a wide range of beautiful first class stamps to choose from at the USPS website, and you can order them online and have them shipped directly to your home or work.

If you plan to include any additional information with your Save the Date magnets, such as hotel paperwork or travel information, be sure to weigh the envelope before you put the Save the Date Magnets in the mail. If your envelope weighs over one ounce, you will need to purchase additional postage in the form of a 2 ounce-rate stamp, or a make-up rate stamp (a stamp designed to be used in combination with a first class stamp).

Additionally, you should be sure to write or print your return address on the front, upper left, or back flap of each envelope. If there are any issues with the recipient address or the postage amount, the envelope will be returned to you so that you can make the necessary corrections and send your Save the Date Magnet again. It’s a pain to re-send an announcement, but it’s better than having a magnet get lost in the mail.

If you follow the steps above, your Save the Date magnets should reach your guests without a hitch!
