Save the Date Magnets?

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help.

H2B has his heart set on sending out svae the date magnets (i'm not fussed but hey it will make him happy!)

We have had a look at a few online places but they all seem to be £3/4 each - without envelopes too!

We found magnetic paper stuff that you can print onto but neither of us are very arty.

Has anyone used any online places cheaper?

THANKS

    Let me be the first to say VISTAPRINT!

    Sign up to their website, start making a design, then save it.
    Within a week or so they will start spamming you with offers.
    We got around 100 for under £20!

    Another for Vista print.

    I think we got 50 for about £4. The first 25 were free, then we paid extra for the other 25.

    They didn't come with envelopes though, although they might sell them.


    Lots of people on eBay sell them now too, so have a look on there x

    I got the free 25.....and a week later got the other 25 free! Have seriously abused vistaprint its great!

    OP I sent the magnets inside a card, I put 2 slits at opposite corners to hold the magnet in place. Worked out really well! I had some concerns over very small envelopes getting lost in the mail.

    I used vistaprint also. They are the bendy kind of magnets.
    They were good. Ive used them for our invites too, placecards, seating plan thingy, and also Ive got christening invites and birth annoucements cards.
    And all in all Ive not paid more than £30!
    Just sign up, get the free 25 for a trial, and if you like them, you can get another 25 free the next week!

    We didn't mind paying extra for the other 25, as we got so many other things free.

    Our first lot of invites were free, but we had to change them as we'd moved house and changed numbers, doh!

    We had a massive banner made which cost nothing, but unfortunately we forgot to take it to the venue to be used! :cool:

    I got a mug for daughter (with thanks for being our bridesmaid on it)

    I got a tshirt with 'Just married' on it and got daughter a 'Bridesmaid' one too.

    Got a 'Just married' canvas bag which I used on honeymoon and one for daughter too with Bridesmaid on it.

    Got other stuff free to but can't think of them off the top of my head.

    Think apart from postage, we paid the £4 for the STD cards and £1.99 for the envelopes to go with the invites.

    Oh we got a stamp too, which said 'We hope you can share our special day' which we stamped the invite envelopes with.

    And I got a pen with Mrs D and the date of our wedding on it.

    Not bad for nowt!

    Another vistaprint addict - I've gone nuts using their freebies for wedding things.

    We've had:
    Save The Date postcards
    A wedding planner notebook and pen
    A guestbook pen
    Mugs for both sets of parents
    A tshirt for me with Mr Bluspirit to be on it
    A tshirt for Mr Bluespirit saying he's a soon to be married man
    A tshirt for our youngest bridesmaid with the wedding date on

    We're also planning on trying to use them for our invites and order of services. They save a fortune, plus everyone is really impressed with all our personalised things

    Im going to try and use them for the order of services too. Think Im going to try and turn their cards sidewaysand have Order of Service written on there, and then just print out the OOS at home, and put it inside, and use a ribbon to hold it in.
    Im loving these ideas about tshirts and notebooks etc. Im off to vistaprint right now!
