Pros and Cons of Save the Date Wedding Magnets

The date has been set, but there are still a million other things to organize before the invitations are sent out, so how can you make sure your key guests know the date as quickly as possible? Save the date greetings now come in a variety of styles, from wedding magnets to cards, notes and photo cards – any internet search for “save the date” will bring up thousands of options, so why bother with a magnet? :

A magnet can have several advantages:

• These magnets are always personalized with your details, so they show your guests that you’ve thought through and prioritized their desire for their presence, making them feel like a valued part of your day, even before the invitation arrives.
• By the nature of the magnetic design, these can be wear and water resistant, giving them a clear advantage over paper or card products that can be torn or accidentally damaged.
• Because they are sturdier, these are much more likely to remain available as a long-term reminder to your guest of the appointment, easily lasting until the invitation arrives.
• Again, due to their durable nature, these magnets can make for a fantastic keepsake of the day itself – a cheerful kitchen reminder of fun times to come (in the run up) or past (once in the past). happened), which again makes the recipient feel like they are a sought-after presence back in the day and last much longer than an email.

However, you may have a particular reason not to choose magnets, such as:

• The cost: Depending on the quantity you order and the level of customization involved, these items can be considerably more expensive than the store-bought or homemade card versions.
• Time Delay: In theory, you can buy ready-made cards on the way home after confirming your date with your chosen venues, complete them the same night, and mail them the next day, job done. With the customization required of magnets, there is an obvious time lag between ordering, receiving, and posting to your guests; if time is not on your side for this, then magnets are probably not your best option.
• Does everyone on your guest list know what to do (or specifically what not to do) with a magnet? I know of at least one senior who received a magnet that kept it in a prime spot in a credit card wallet where he could look at it regularly, and then found that this prolonged exposure began to affect the cards. You don’t want to sponsor anyone, but you might want to check that this idea suits all of your potential guests!
