Save the Date Magnets

I've been looking around and I've only seen three designs for these all on David's Bridal. Does anyone know of any other place with different designs that have them? I prefer ordering on the web if possible.
Also, has any one had any bad experiances with STD magnets? Do you think it's extra postage?
Thanks all!

Re: Save the Date Magnets

It's not hard to do it yourself if you have a Print Shop (or similar) program.

We bought magnetic paper from Staples (4 sheets for $10) and printed business card sized magnets onto the sheets... So we got about 40 magnets per box.

My fiance is a graphic artist so he drew the angels on them and put the magnet together... They came out adorable, and they are MUCh cheaper than buying them...

Good luck

Jennie

I know some girls ordered theirs off Vista Print .

I ordered fancy 'business cards' from Paper Direct which go through the printer and then bought the magnets from Office Max and made them myself. I included a postcard with the hotel info and postage was no more $. I've been getting tons of compliments on the magents!

Here is a pic of mine. I had no problems mailing them it didn't cost me anything extra.

I ordered them online from www.CandyWrapperStore.com

The service and the price was great.

I loved my magnets!! I ordered them from www.favorlady.com. She was recommended to me by a few of the ladies on this site. I love how they came out and the service was great!!! She does both magnets and bookmarks; mostly personalized.
