For those who made save the dates

I am thinking about making save the dates. I am not really creative and dont know where to start. I was thinking of making magnet and know i can buy them at Staples but need assistance/suggestions on how to design... Any suggestions?

i didnt do magnets(although i had the material to make them)...

they sell sheets the size of paper, you can just run them through the computer.. you could make them easily using MS Word, draw a table to make about 8 of them on a page..

I am sending them becasue I am getting married on Memorial Day weekend.. If I wasnt I would probably skip them!

they are not really necessary. Unless you are having a lot of out of town people coming to your wedding

Re: For those who made save the dates

here's a link to the ones i made. we sent them out to a handful of OOTers (and those 'must haves' who travel a lot) as a courtesy.

I made mine, from pretty note cards from Cedarhurst Paper...but I am not sending them to everyone, they are going to the OOT people, the really BUSY people, and then a few others.

Re: For those who made save the dates

I made my own save the date magnets by ordering regular, heavy stock save the dates and put an adhesive magnet on the back. I was worried that they were not going to hold up, but they have been safely hanging in every house that I sent it to. The reason I did it this way was b/c it was a lot cheaper than making/buying magnet ones. Good luc with whatever you choose...

Go check FavorLady.com
I was orginially thinking of making magnets myself but then when we priced it out it was only a little more to order from her (85 cents for small $1 for bigger magnets) no min, do not have to order in slots of 24 (I think I ordered 52.
If you want to save money, you could steel ideas fro mher site.
