We used a printshop program and used the template for a business card... We were able to print ten to a page and bought magnetic computer paper to print them on at Staples... Very easy, and lots of graphics to choose from although my fiance drew ours (hes a graphic artist)...

Good luck!

I am having my printed from a vendor on Ebay - but I designed them. I set a custom paper size in Word.... (2x3.5) and proceeded to design. No template needed really. As long as it fit on the page - I figured it would work.

I understand what you mean, but if you did that, then why have a vendor make them? (I'm just being nosey, please don't feel like you need to answer!)

Does printshop or publisher have anything you can work with?

Nose away!!!!

It was just really a matter of saving the time to do all of it. Find the magnetic paper... get the layout onto the paper and having a printer that output something decent. I understand that you really need a laser printer to get crisp output. 6year old InkJets don't cut it. This way -- they just show up in 3 weeks which is about when I'll want to mail them.

I got 100 for 40.00(& shipping) which I figure is what I would've paid for the magnetic paper. I went to the Target sale today and got 5x5 square cards w/ envelopes that say 'save the date' in gold embossing (20.00). All I have to do is glue the magnets onto the cards and mail them. (if FH ever gives me his addresses!)

Microsoft Publisher Business Card or Gift Certificate program. We made magnet business cards for my FH business. You can also by larger sized magnets from Staples and increase the size when you print (ex. mailing label) if you want it bigger than a business card. Great idea!
