No- I ordered magnets via a lady on ebay. Her website is http://www.magneticmemos.co.uk/products.php?id=1

She was such a nice lady- she designed about 4 different ones for us based on what I told her. Very reasonable too.

We sent ours out in November 08 for an Aug 09 wedding. My mum's doing all of my stationery so she made them for me. Got some nice ivory card and then she decorated with a flowery pattern taken from my dress with all diamante bits in. Bless her!

Can't wait to get the invites out lol

We sent ours approx a year in advance, we are having a summer wedding so thought the earlier the better due to holidays etc being booked. I made them myself with proper plastic magnets as they looked better than the ones from Vista Print. A friend edited a nice picture of me and OH and put some text on informing people of the date, and then we just popped them into the casing and sent a little note with them along with hotel details.

I also used vista print for ours as we got 25 magnets for free and that was all we needed. We only sent to immediate friends and family who absolutely must attend! We posted ours with our christmas cards on the first weekend in december for our end of May wedding.

I based the design on one i'd seen on a wedding invites website, a monthly calendar with the date circled and our names above it.

I'd upload a pic, but i can't see how to! :rotfl:

Hiya, we get married in December and sent our save the date cards out with the xmas cards this year. I didn't want people getting booked up with xmas parties next year.

We ordered from VistaPrint as well. We didn't get any free, but it was pretty cheap nonetheless. We'd planned to send them out before Christmas, but we're just sending them out now.
