Ways to Use Save the Date Magnets

• Engagement Announcements

What a happy treat to send in the mail, or hand directly to coworkers, neighbors, golf buddies, tennis partner and old school friends.
If their comments are, "Well, it's about time!" then you know it's time to celebrate in a special way.
The design of this special message may include an informal picture of the couple as well as the note on the magnet hoping that important people will share your special news.
Next you may want to send a Save the Date magnet prior to the actual wedding.
It doesn't take the place of the formal wedding invitation, but does just what it's attended to do, Save the Date.

• After the date

At this point it's time to thank all your friends and family.
They were there when you said your vows.
They were emotionally touched when you said your vows.
You were showered with gifts that were chosen with thought and love.
So don't drop the ball now! Include a Save the Date type magnet in your thank you notes.
You might want a lovely picture of the two of you from the wedding.
Or maybe you could use a picture taken on your honeymoon.
Your magnets will tell the whole story.
Their refrigerators or file drawers at work will be like a story board.
There will be magnets for your engagement, wedding and thank you.
