    So I wanted a variation of the typical save the date magnet, and I love making these little bead magnet treasures.  I made about 30 bead magnets that say 3.20.10.  Before I could revel in my creativity, FI asked how we were going to mail them.  Panic!  How should we mail these?  They're about 1/2 inch tall and we also have a 5x7 flat card with our photo and other info.  Please advise!  I'm not too far along so I could just have 30 of these little beauties on my fridge.

    They're just like the picture, but mine have a green background and our date.

    those are amazing!! how do you make those? can you put up a tutorial??

    my best advice would be to take one to the post office and ask.

    Just glue them to the flat card and find a regular envelope.  They'll be fine.  When I was in college my dad use to mail me a Valentines Day card and would pour the little heart candies inside the card.  I never understood why he would do that but they always arrived each year still in one piece.

    If you have a decently thick envelope, you should be fine. If you wanted to go a more expensive route, you could put them in little boxes but it would cost alot to mail!

    You can find a tutorial here: http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/marblemagnets/

    I highly suggest buying a circle punch!

    One of those mailing envelopes that is lined with bubble wrap should do the trick! pretty sure you could find them in the appropriate size either at a place like staples or an online envelope vendor like: http://www.actionenvelope.com/ae/control/category/~category_id=BUBBLE_LINED

    sadly no color options though :(

    Any envelope with good enough adhesive to stay closed ought to work, and the bubble wrap envelopes suggested above should be great.

    Yes a Jiffy Bag (bubbled mailer) would work great and shouldn't be too expensive to mail. To include a 5x7 card you should use a J0 or J1. Also they often come in the kraft color or white but you can sometimes find them in metallic colors and in odd sizes

    A bubbler mailer is a good idea.
