How to Make a Magnetic Save the Date Card
Save the date cards are used by many engaged couples as a first reminder to guests who will be invited to their wedding. They are usually sent out a couple months before the formal invitation. Many couples use magnetic cards because their guests will be less likely to lose them.
Things You'll Need:
- Card Design Software
- Printer
- Magnetic Sheets
- Invitation Paper
- Glue
- Create the card design on your computer. There are many programs that can help you create the card of your dreams. Photoshop is a great program, but can be a little tough to use at first. If you're patient and take a little time to learn, you should be able to create a nice design. Finding a version of Photoshop might be a little challenging. It will be way to expensive to just use once. Try finding a free trial online or someone who will let you borrow their computer for a day or two.
- Print the cards on a magnetic sheet or on invitation paper. Some printers won't be able to print on magnetic sheets. If your printer won't print on magnetic sheets, you'll have to cut out each invitation and glue it to the magnetic sheet. Read your printers manual to see if it will allow magnetic printing. This will save you a lot of time if you can. If you don't see anything in the manual, talk with a computer expert at a printing store. They should be able to tell you if the printer can print on magnetic sheets. Be patient if you decided to glue each invitation on a magnet. This process could take a while, but you might not have any other choice.
