We sent out our save the dates a few months ago, but I thought I'd post the picture since I have it on here now. It took three or four trips to Michael's and a lot of work to get these things done.
We bought 12" by 12" sheets of cardstock and cut it into 3" by 4". Then we bought the magnet paper they have there and forced it into the printer to print the design that took me many hours with Vistaprint and Photobucket editing. Then I made all the little bows with the ribbon. Then we had to figure out the size of the font and which font would look pretty for the card. Finally, we had to cut each magnet out, put it in 4 photo corner tapes, and put them on the card. Oh, and we also printed the addresses on the envelopes rather than hand-writing them all.
It took foreeeever, but I love the way they turned out, and I've seen the magnets on peoples' fridges. My mom even brought hers to her work to show it off, and a woman who has a daughter getting married there copied the poem down to use. And, I should also mention that I also copied the poem and the whole idea from someone on here, who copied it from someone else on a website, hehe.
Soooo, here it is:

I "erased" our last names, the city, and the wedding website that was at the bottom of the card. And the magnet looks better in person; it looks kinda fuzzy in the picture. Hopefully it doesn't post as huge as it appears to me...
