can be custom printed for you within 3 - 5 business days! Since save the date magnets are mainly geared towards weddings, lets start there. The average American engagement is now 16 months, and save the date's just give your guests even more time to plan, especially those out of town. The usual time to send them is 6 - 9 months before the wedding. They allow for a little more of an informal notice that you can have fun with. Generally if you are ordering the small size magnets as save the dates for a wedding, you will want to send that out in a packet or with a card that has more information- hotels, sights in the area, etc.
What are save the date magnets? They are a relatively new idea. These are notices sent before the actual invitation to an event. People have fun with them because they are more informal in nature. Mainly, these are just to state the date and event. Save the Dates are not only used for weddings, but often other events, such as anniversaries, birthdays, bar/bat mitzvahs, family reunions and more.
What you should put on a Custom Printed Save the Date Magnet? It often depends on just how much importance you are giving to the save the date, and what style it is in. If you need to put more information you can use our medium size photo favor magnet which is 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". If you want something fun, but still want to include information, include a note, or a few relevant pamphlets from the area where the wedding will take place. Mainly, you want to have the date and event on the save the date. You wouldn't want to jam the ceremony location and time on a small save the date- details like that should be reserved for the invitation. Last names are not as important on small magnets, because you can include the last names elsewhere when mailing them out. Very often you will also see a line 'invitation to follow' somewhere near the bottom, just to insure that people understand that this is not the formal invitation. Depending on how much room you have you can also consider adding the location, not the full address, but city and state.
