My Save the Dates are ready!

I'm not mailing them for another 2 months, but they're done!

MagnetQueen printed the magnets (beautiful work, just make sure you allow a lot of time - i think production is 28 days), and I made the cards myself using some cardstock from Michael's.

The magnets came with clear plastic sleeves and white linen envelopes. All I have left to do now is score the cards and fold them all in half, address the envelopes, and mail! woo!

Here's the design (NOT created by MagnetQueen - Dom @ 12th Night made something up for me and I loved it, but the colors/font didn't work on the small magnets, so I had to change it up a bit by myself.)

The front of the cards: (I used 3 colors: gold, blue, and green. They are 4.5' x 6.5' pieces, and I top-folded them)

Front Closeup

Inside

Inside with magnet placement (magnet will be in its clear plastic sleeve, and tacked in place with mounting squares purchased at Target for $1!)

Magnet (the colors and sharpness are fabulous, but you can't really tell in my crummy pics)

Now I can't wait until November to mail them out!!!

Re: My Save the Dates are ready!

I wanted to add that beautiful magnets are NOT out of budget!

I paid $100 for the magnets...$4 for the cardstock (180 sheets), and $1 for the mounting squares.

IMO, they look more expensive than they were!

An 05 bride turned me on to Magnetqueen - I honestly don't remember her name, but I had it saved in my favorites for over a year now, and I owe that bride a BIG thank you!!! They're running a great special - summer cooldown - and its so worth it!
