A save the date that stays in sight

Paper save the dates get a glance and then a stack. Personalized fridge magnets go up on the fridge and stay there, your photo and your date in front of your guests every single day until they arrive at your wedding. It is the difference between being remembered and being recycled, and it quietly tells your guests this day is worth holding.

We press each one in the USA in full, true color with a sealed finish and a magnet on the back. Sturdy enough to survive the trip in the mail and look beautiful on arrival. The colors stay rich and the magnet holds firm, so it earns its spot on the fridge from the day it lands.

What to put on yours

  • Your favorite engagement photo, full and bright.
  • Your names and the date, large enough to read at a glance.
  • Your city or venue, and a note that an invitation will follow.

Timing it right

Most couples mail save the dates six to eight months before the wedding, and earlier for a destination or holiday weekend so guests can book travel. Because we press to order and ship within one to two business days, you do not need to plan months around production. Buying for a long guest list? Our bulk photo magnets lower the price per piece, and you can match them later with wedding favor magnets for a set that ties the whole celebration together.

Make it part of a set

A save the date magnet does not have to stand alone. Reorder the same photo and shape later for reception favors, thank you magnets, or a keepsake for the two of you, and the pieces feel like a matching suite without the cost of custom stationery at every step. It is an easy way to keep a consistent look from the first announcement to the last thank you note, all from photos you already love.

Why a magnet beats a paper card

A paper save the date asks a lot of your guests. They have to notice it, decide to keep it, find somewhere to put it, and then remember where that somewhere was. A magnet skips every one of those steps. It goes on the fridge the moment it arrives and stays in plain sight, so your date is part of your guests' daily routine instead of a card buried in a drawer. That visibility matters most for weddings that need extra notice, like a destination, a holiday weekend, or a date that competes with other plans. There is a sustainability angle too. A magnet is one durable keepsake rather than a card destined for the recycling, and many guests keep them long after the wedding as a small memento of your engagement photos. For a few cents more than nice cardstock, custom fridge magnets give your guests something they actually hold onto.

Shape tip: the taller fridge size suits full length engagement photos, while square custom magnets frame close ups. Compare them in our size guide, or read our full save the date magnet guide.

Common questions

When should we send save the date magnets?

Most couples send them 6 to 8 months before the wedding, and up to a year ahead for destination weddings or holiday weekends.

Which size works best for save the dates?

The 2x3 rectangle is the most popular, because it has room for a photo plus your names and date, in portrait or landscape. The 2.5 inch square works well for a close-up of the two of you.

Can every magnet have the same photo?

Yes. Choose a bulk pack and tick "use one photo for all". You upload one photo, add your text once, and every magnet in the pack matches.

How long does it take?

Your save the date magnets are made in 1 to 2 business days, then shipped. Shipping cost and speed show at checkout before you pay.

Which size for this occasion?

All five sizes work. One of them is usually the best fit, so we mark it.

The 2.5 inch square leaves room for both the photo and the date, so one magnet does the whole job.
