Save The Dates

Sometimes it’s better to be “mini” than large. This can certainly be the case with Save the Date magnets. If you want something a little smaller then you are in luck. Many vendors offer Save the Date Mini Magnets that are similar to the standard size magnets in most of the same designs. In addition, you actually can save some money vs. the larger sizes because of the fact that the mini magnets are less expensive to produce.

Oftentimes they are more vertical instead of being squarish which some people find more pleasing. Below are examples of two mini magnets that I really like called Fancy Blossoms and Organic Beauty.

For a unique Save the Date magnet that is sure to stand out be sure to check out the custom caricature save the date magnets from Beau-Coup.com. These magnets are sure to immortalize your wedding date on the refrigerators of your family and friends. It’s definitely a bit different than the typical photo magnet.

The way it works is that you send in a picture of you and your significant other. They then enlist the help of graphic design artists to create a cute almost cartoon like caricature of the picture that you sent them. In addition, you can include Save the Date information such as your names, the date of your wedding, a special message to your guests, and even your wedding website url. The magnets come in a 2 inch by 3 inch size that can be mailed in any standard 3.5 inch by 5 inch envelope. You need to send your photo to Beau-Coup.com via email in a jpg, tiff, or GIF format. When you order they also provide up to 2 proofs for your review.

Please note that due to the lead time required for developing the custom caricatures you will need to allow 5-8 business days before they ship and so it will most likely take 2 weeks to receive them. So if you are in a rush this may not be the best option. The Save the Date magnet caricatures come in a variety of designs. Some of the sample designs are listed below. You can choose the design that best meets the theme of your wedding. For example, for a wedding in Napa you can choose the “Wine Country” design.

Turquoise Creative is the design shop of Misha Zadeh. Based in Seattle, Misha has a definite artist’s eye for exquisite detail. Her work often features rich texture, has a wonderful and graceful depth, and what I consider to be true individuality. As a child of two architects, Misha was encouraged to appreciate creating beautiful objects and she carries on that tradition to this day.
