Homemade Save The Date Magnets
A popular idea for your wedding save the date's are to create a unique design which can be as simple or as complicated as you like. Take it down to your local copy shop and print them onto magnetic paper. Another cheaper option is to print them onto the thickest cardstock that you can afford and buy some adhesive magnet strips that you can cut up and stick to the back of your cards. The benefit of making your magnets using the first option is that they will be more durable and also functional, your guest will be able to use them to stick memos and the like to your fridge or magnetic memo board. Flimsy cardstock cards will likely be put away once the date has passed.

save the date magnets
These are simple to make if you have some design skills. Nina Barry
shares her creative invitations with us.
First, we shot some pictures of us holding a blank piece of paper, then I
Photoshopped four of them to look like they were done in a photo booth and
added the text. You could do this in an actual photo booth and scan it as
well, but I liked that we got to pick the pictures we liked best to combine.
I printed as many as could fit on one 8.5" x 11" piece of paper and ordered
magnetic paper that's sticky on one side the same size. Since were were doing
quite a few of them, I fully utilized the paper cutters at Kinko's as scissors
or wimpy little paper cutters just don't get the job done. The magnetic paper
is pretty thick, so you won't be able to do more than one sheet at once even
with a large cutter.
