They are a fast way to tell all of your potential wedding guests that you're engaged and to inform them that the actual wedding day is on it's way.
Of course, not all of these type of communication are done via magnets.
Sometimes people prefer cardboard or card stock.
Most people do decide on fridge magnets because there are distinct advantages to using them.
With so many companies out there selling these save the date wedding magnets, trying to find the best one for you can be quite a challenge.
Your job is thinning out the companies you should avoid and focusing on the best companies that provide this kind of product.
Below is a list of Google's highest ranking magnet sites.
These dot com sites aren't the best, they simply rank high in Google's search engine: magnetstreet myweddingrecepionideas vistaprint savethedatemagnet wedding paper divas I'm especially bias to weddingpaperdivas.
These divas know what they are doing! No, I do not work for them, I am just impressed with their website and all they have to offer.
First of all, I'e seen their free shipping code posted freely on their site, and I've never seen it disappear.
That tells me that they always do free shipping! They have gone one step further in customer service by providing a samples program.
You can get wedding save the date magnets very inexpensively if you continue to search and search, but you need to be wary of losing quality over cheapness.
They are not terribly pricey anyway, especially compared to how much everything else in your wedding costs! Decide on what kind of save the dates you want to get, then check out a few companies anc compare their prices and quality.
You might not be able to tell much from the internet in regards to quality, but it is the best place to start.
My philosophy is, if their website looks kind of cheesy, so goes the quality of their products.
Adding your own picture to the magnet is always what I suggest as making it more personal is what you should be after, but you need to make sure the company you're going to use is able to reproduce top quality pictures.
You don't want to get your hundred-plus save the date wedding magnets in the mail and see that your picture looks like it was photocopied from a 1980's Xerox machine! I'm sure most companies out there have excellent photo reproduction.
If not, there's no way they would stay in business! But it's better to be safe than sorry.
Also the onus is on you to send the best quality photograph so they can't blame you for sending them a bad picture! It would be a good idea to see a mock up of your save the date wedding magnets before giving the green light for the full production.
You'll get a digital photo in some format like jpeg, which will be fine.
If you've hired a high quality company like weddingpaperdivas, you can rest assured your refrigerator magnets will turn out looking just like the picture.
One question that comes up a lot is whether or not they can print up a sample magnet of your actual product.
It doesn't hurt to ask but it may cost them too much to do this.
Then again, if you were to place a good faith deposit with them, they may just provide this extra service for you.
And lastly, whoever you end up going with, make sure that they have great customer service! There's nothing worse or more stressful than placing your order with someone and then you don't hear from them.
Or worse, you contact the company and not hear back from them for days! This is something that I know hits bride's hard.
When vendors don't get back to the bride it creates a lot of ill will toward that company.
You'll only need your wedding save the date magnets once in your lifetime, so it's important that you can communicate with the company and be assured that everything is being produced on time and be updated on the progress.
Another step you can take is to visit sites like nextag and shopping dot com ato see how they rate.
Still, my suggestion is visit the websites and look at their customer reviews.
Yes, all of these customer reviews will be positive, but if they don't have good reviews on their own site, you could be in trouble.
Another place where brides are going for their save the date wedding magnets and to see whether they are happy or not would be the wedding boards like the knot, weddingbee, and weddingwire.
You may have to sign up to see what all the brides are saying, but it will be worth the effort! these are the real customers and they usually do not hold back.
If a company is putting out low quality save the date wedding magnets, this is probably the place that you'll hear about it! And when you do sign up, don't be afraid to ask questions of your own.
Most of the posters will do their best to help you.
It's not a competition! All these sites are available to you so you have a wide variety of companies to choose from.
Keep in mind that it's not about finding the cheapest out there, but finding the best value for your dollar.
It may seem like such a minuscule item to put so much effort into it, but there's nothing worse than disappointment for your wedding day.
With this being one of the first things associated with your wedding, it would be a shame if the first thing associated with your wedding turned out to be a disappointment! We all want to find the least expensive price but who wants to get low quality cheap-o save the date wedding magnets for this once in a lifetime event?
