    What size did you order? I created mine in the business card size, but I feel like that might be too small. However, I think the bigger size might take up too much space on a fridge. Any thoughts?

    We ordered the same size as our postcards (4 x 6, I think).  I had a free offer for them so I ordered both and wish I would have gotten more.  They weren't too big at all and we still see them up at some of our friends and family's homes.

    I got the business size and I think they look pretty good. I almost wish I had gotten a little bigger but it wouldn't have worked with my design! Word of warning: they are a little bit flimsy but for us, they were just too cheap to pass up!

    We did the business card size. We're sending them out with our holiday cards, so we're doing a picture on the card, but just text on the magnet. With that design, I think the larger size would have looked a little silly. I agree with Irishker03 about the flimsiness, though. But really, considering they were almost free, I can't complain :)

    We did the business card size and it worked fine for us, but I didn't put a photo on it, just text.

    I can't find the magnets on their site other than the car door size magnets. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    Has anyone ordered their postcards there?  That was my plan but I wanted to make sure they were decent quality.

    We just purchased our postcard sized magnets and I can't wait to see them! I ordered envelopes and folded cards from www.thepapersource.com I plan to use photo corners to hold the magnet in place.

    We did the business cards size for the same fear of taking up too much space but I actually love the size since it gave us extra space to play with on how we sent them out. We did text with a picture as the background. Check it out! 

    Oh and originally I had made the picture in black and white- they came out too dark and vista replaced them without any extra costs...If you give them a call they'll help you with any last touches and they have great customer service!

    I ordered ours from VistaPrint - they weren't free but they were cheap and cute!  I used two different flowers (two different events) and although they're flimsy they served their purpose.  They're not going to be heirlooms! Wink

    p.s. Sorry the images are so big - we ordered Business Card size and attached them with double sided tape to ivory cardstock (half a page that I rounded with a corner punch) that I included more of the info on like our website and other details.  For people who are invited to both we printed the relevant info on each side and attached the appropriate magnet to each side, some people will only be invited to one so only got one side printed with one magnet.

    Thanks for all the feedback. Girls who posted your pics - they are soo cute!

    I think I'm going to go with the business card size. I printed it today at work (out of colored ink at home) and they actually didn't look too tiny at all. Just a few minor tweaks to the design and then I'm ordering!

    I ordered the big magnet. 100 for $91. We also do a ton of business on Vista Prints for work, so I got free color postcards.... I used one with a finger and a string around it (like "reminder" for out of town guests) with information about a hotel, flight, and ceremony/reception location. I LOVE me some VistaPrints.

    We did the large magnets as well, they are about the size of a picture. I love them. I originally was planning on the business card size, but I love the large, because the pictures really stand out on them.

    We went with business card size. It was the perfect size to put in our Holiday cards. As everyone else has said, flimsey but cute and cheap! I LOVE our magnets! I think we picked the right size for our purposes.

    We did business card size as well, and I love them! They are thin, but they look great and serve their purpose! We attached them to a postcard backing, and they were light enough to send without needing extra postage.

    Were you guys satisfied with the picture quality and the magnet quality??  We're planning on ordering the large magnets but since the price is so good I'm worried it's too good to be true.  I was going to order 10 at first to try it out but with shipping it adds up to like $20 just to test out, and then I stumbled on these posts so I thought I'd just ask opinions instead.  Any feedback you guys have on these is greatly appreciated!!  =)

    @JD193:   I ordered mine from there (and also the same design in a linen finish card) - it worked out really well.  Some were a little dirty when I got them from being stacked but it worked out and thye are really good. 

    They aren't strong though, and they won't really hold up anything on the fridge. Those who ordered VistaPrint STD Magnets... :  wedding SL740134

    I want to say they were 3" x 5".  They were perfect IMHO becuase they were big enough to read everything and see the picture well but not obnoxiously big.

    Thanks so much for the responses, guys!  I'm not too concerned with whether they hold other things on the fridge, as long as they stick to the fridge themselves.  Your save the dates both look great so I feel totally comfortable ordering now.  Thanks!  =)
