Save the Date Magnets For Any Occasion

Do you have a really important date coming up?  Say perhaps a wedding, christening, surprise 50th wedding anniversary party, or your grandfather’s 90th birthday celebration?  Is there any upcoming event for which you must plan the date well in advance and want everyone to remember?  Not ready to send an invitation that will be lost in a pile of paperwork?  Now you can use save the date magnets to help keep the date in mind for all invited family and friends.

Everyone’s lives are so busy these days, and our calendars are quickly filling up with big and small events.  We are literally drowning in paperwork and clutter in our homes.  Remembering upcoming events is important—try forgetting some important family event and see how well that goes over—but everyone could use a little assistance.

When you set the date for a special occasion, especially one that requires booking a reception hall, then it is important that your guests know well in advance when the date is.  Just because your cousins know you got engaged at Christmastime doesn’t mean they know the date in October when you plan to tie the knot.  Keep them in the loop by sending out some save the date magnets as soon as you book the official date.

Brides, being as clever as they usually are about planning, have discovered that using save the date magnets a few months ahead of time will help family and friends plan accordingly for the gala event.  While it’s not exactly something that has made the standard “Bride Handbooks” you’ll find, save the date magnets are especially helpful when you are dealing with guests who may have to travel and make arrangements for airfare or accommodations.  Even important events can slip people’s minds when schedules are tight, and forgetting until it’s too late can be not only costly and inconvenient, but perhaps other conflicts and obligations have also gotten in the way.

But, it’s not only brides that can benefit from the brilliance of this simple little invention—any important event or family function (think reunion) that requires a great deal of planning should be remembered by more than the small “planning committee.”  A save the date magnet reminder tacked to the refrigerator can go a long way toward helping folks plan ahead.  Your baby’s christening or your parents’ 50th wedding anniversary are also important days—ones that warrant a little reminder!

Save the date magnets are inexpensive to use, and they are actually a functional item for the recipient.  Not only will they be reminded of you and your upcoming special event, but they can use the save the date magnet to hold their child’s latest artwork, appointment cards for an upcoming dentist visit, or the phone number for the veterinarian.  You’d probably find that most people will even hang onto the save the date magnet long after the event passes.

What information is important to include on a save the date magnet?  Well, the date, of course.  And, a simple reminder of the event:  “Susan & Bill, July 25, 2009” will do.  Add a cute logo or some creative design or even a photo, and you’ll have an eye-catching and functional reminder for all of your intended guests.  Let people know right away, and you will find that you have fewer regrets to your RSVPs.  And, the more, the merrier, right?
