Count carefully

Order One Per Household (not one per guest)
When calculating the number of Save the Dates to order, it’s easy to mistakenly rely on your total guest count. However, not every guest needs a Save the Date! For families and couples, you can simply send one per household, which cuts your total quantity (and cost) in half, or even a third.

How Much Can Cards Save You On Your Order?
40¢ x 100 cards = $40 savings
40¢ x 150 cards = $60 savings
40¢ x 200 cards = $80 savings!

Weight

Watch Your Weight
Since the post office charges more to mail items that weigh more than 1 oz., it’s important to check how much certain Save the Dates weigh before ordering. You can check online, call the stationer, or order a sample and weigh it at your post office (with envelope).

If your heart is set on a magnet, don’t sweat! There are plenty of Save the Date Magnets out there that weigh in at less than 1 oz.

Go Halfsies

Half Card, Half Magnet
Your budget may not allow for 200 magnets, but why not order 100 cards and 100 magnets? Many Save the Date designs come in a variety of magnet and card options, making it easy to pick one design, then apply your personalized colors, photo, etc. to both the card and magnet versions.

Don’t Be Square

While Square Save the Dates are unique and modern, the post office charges about 20¢ more to mail square-shaped items. To be safe, skip the square if you’re on a budget.

Tip: Try a Semi-Square
To achieve that “square” look without the matching hike in postage, order a Classic Magnet, which measures in at 3.5" x 4".
