Make Your Own Save-the-Date Magnets

Since you can’t send out a little bird to tweet about your upcoming wedding date to every one of your wedding guests, a save-the-date magnet is the way to go. Use it to announce all the need-to-know info to your invitees: the “who” (that’s you guys), the “what” (your upcoming wedding), the “where” (for out-of-town guests who may need to make travel arrangements) and the “when” (the day you’ll tie the knot). Your save-the-date magnets let your guests know that a wedding invitation will be heading their way, and to remind them to keep the date open.
