Save The Date Ideas - Magnets

Outside of postcards and other forms of stationery, the most popular choice for save the date ideas is using magnets. Magnets are a great choice because your wedding guests will see them everyday on their fridge or where ever they choose to place them. Of course magnets are also a choice that allows people to keep this as a momento of your wedding forever.

One popular choice is to use a series of photos in your magnet. Photos are a popular, the show the happy couple in love and ready to start their life together.

If you do not want to use a series of photos you can instead choose to just use one photo instead. This can be a shot from your time together leading up to the engagement or you can take a photo to specifically use for the magnet.
