This creates a unique effect that will have everyone’s attention from the moment they catch a glimpse of it in their letterbox.

A rustic save the date magnet features all the information normally contained on a save the date card, but is printed on magnetic backing to be stuck to the fridge. This keeps your event front and centre in your guests’ minds.
