Save the Date Magnets

What Are Save the Date Magnets?

Save the date magnets are printed magnetic cards that announce an upcoming wedding or event and stick to a fridge so the date stays in view. At 4OVER4 they print full color on a 17pt or 35pt indoor magnet stock, in 4 set sizes from 2" x 3.5" up to 5" x 7", plus a custom Any Size, each finished with a UV coating.

Couples reach for them ahead of weddings, but they earn their spot for graduations, reunions, grand openings, and any date people need to remember. The color stays sharp under the UV coating and the back grips metal on contact, so the magnet keeps doing its job for weeks. If you want the fridge magnet without the event framing, the Standard Magnets cover the same stock and sizes for everyday promotion, and the save the date sits right beside it as the version built for a celebration.

What Size Should a Save the Date Magnet Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to show. A 2" x 3.5" is the same footprint as a business card, cheap to mail and easy to stick anywhere. A 3" x 4" or 4" x 6" gives a photo and the date room to read across a room, and a 5" x 7" behaves like a framed keepsake on the fridge. Need a shape that matches your invitations exactly? The Any Size option lets you set any width from 2 to 11 inches and any height from 2 to 17 inches in quarter-inch steps. All 4 set sizes and the custom option are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If a business-card format is the goal, the Business Card Magnets run that size, and for something built for a vehicle the Car Magnets go much larger.

How Much Do Save the Date Magnets Cost?

Save the date magnets start at $19.68 for a batch of 25 at the 2" x 3.5" size on 17pt stock, and because each magnet is priced by the square inch, a cheaper magnet comes down to the size, the stock, and how big a run you order. Most people land around 100 for a first print, which is also our best-rated quantity. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the batch total and the true per-magnet cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

What Magnet Stock and Finish Can You Choose?

4OVER4 prints save the date magnets on 2 indoor magnet stocks: a standard 17pt and a thicker, sturdier 35pt. Every magnet is finished with a protective UV coating and prints full color on the front, with the option of black ink instead. The back is the magnet, so nothing prints there.

The standard 17pt indoor magnet is the everyday pick: flexible, affordable, and thick enough to hold its place without curling. Move up to the 35pt indoor magnet when you want real heft in the hand, closer to a rigid keepsake that feels like it cost more than it did. Both stocks carry a glossy UV coating that protects the ink and makes color pop, and both print full color across the front, or black ink if your design is a single color. The back is always the magnetic face, so it sticks the second it touches metal.

How Fast Can You Get Save the Date Magnets?

The standard turnaround is 5 business days, which keeps the price at its base. When the countdown to the big day is tighter, you can step up through 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, and Next-Day, all the way to Same-Day production out of our New York City plant. That is six speeds in one dropdown.

Same-Day jobs need to be approved by noon EST to ship that afternoon. Each faster speed adds a fixed percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for the rush when the calendar demands it, and the total updates the moment you choose.

Can You See a Proof Before It Prints?

Yes. Every order includes a Free Online Proof option, so you can check your layout on screen before it goes to press. If you want something you can hold, a Next Day Hardcopy Proof is available as a flat add-on. And if your artwork is ready to go, you can send it straight to production and skip the wait. Three proof choices, one dropdown, no surprises at the cut.

How Do Save the Date Magnets Compare to Other Magnets?

Save the date magnets are the celebration pick in a bigger magnet lineup, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing an everyday fridge magnet, a business-card format, or a large magnet for a vehicle, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up save the date magnets against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Save the date magnets are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full magnet printing range any time. If an everyday promo magnet, a business-card size, or a heavier stock would serve you better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
