Lately, the masses of engaged couples and party throwers have been dispatching preinvitations as either cards or as save the date magnets to all of their friends and family.
The celebrators are doing this to inform them about some upcoming special event in their future.
If you're trying to make up your mind between cards or magnets, hopefully this article will help you decide.
Save the date magnets are enormously popular lately and the great masses are making them not just pre-invites but the actual invite of choice.
Whether it's for ceremony and reception, birthday party or an anniversary, fridge magnets are the premiere option for most party planning peeps.
Here's some reasons if you trying to figure out why: They are so very cute.
Everybody wants to make a good impression when they invite their friends and family to a marriage or event.
There is nothing more precious than ones that are well-made and funny! People think they are fun.
I know finding an invite in the mail, it makes me happy! If it's just a paper stock card, I usually scrawl the info down on the calendar then toss the card into the trash.
This usually doesn't happen with magnets.
Besides, what's more fun than sticking an invite up on the refrigerator? Save the date magnets are personal.
If you purchase normal paper stock cards, they usually don't symbolize you or your wedding, party, birthday, whatever.
Usually normal paper stock cards are just a mediocre "We're having A Party!" card.
It's much better to take a fun picture, add the date and time and place of the wedding, and you're set! They are cheaper! The price on these items has become so low, that they are not much of an expense.
You can find so many great deals for just about every budget.
And even though they are inexpensive, that doesn't mean they are manufactured poorly.
They're Unique! We've all gotten the typical cards and, well, they really need to be done up to leap out at you.
Save the date magnets can be manufactured in so many different ways, they definitely are a unique thing.
They aren't perfect, though.
Brides and grooms, party planers and the like all use them nowadays.
You might be coming across as cliché for doing the same.
The positive to this negative of using them, though, is that you can totally personalize them and make them funny, romantic, outrageous or just cute.
Another suggested downside is derived from folks who try to print them up in their own home.
In most cases they will come out substandard in quality and when their potential party attendees get them, they seem unprofessional.
How come they work so well? As I wrote previously, I typically take a average save the date card and, once I take down the main points off of it, I toss it.
If I do stick it up on the refrigerator, I do it with a magnet irrespectively.
Once it falls off, though, I get annoyed and then trash it.
I always stick the refrigerator magnets up and they don't often slip off (that is unless they are holding up card or party invite!).
Also, I am faithfully reminded about the upcoming party every time I go to the fridge, which is about ten times a day, lol.
To get the most out of your refrigerator magnets, all you need to do is take care that you design them to fit the style of the event and take care that they reflect who you are.
Also, stave off trying to make them yourself.
You might luck out and make a decent product, but it is more effective to leave it to the pros.
They have done it successfully time and time again! Here's to my wish that I've helped you as you make the choice between save the date magnets or plain cards for your upcoming celebration.
