We are considering STD magnets or postcards. I don't think you need to include anything else. If you have a wedding website, you should probably include that somewhere with it though.
I know my family wants to hear first hand about things and not from others, so maybe just call aunts and uncles you are close with before sending them out. Its an ice way to catch up and let them know they are special.
We sent save the date magnets too, and only sent the magnet. I think it's totally fine. I do think Newport's idea of calling or telling in person some of the family members is a good idea though! If people are traveling from far, just be sure you have the location & wesite (if you have one) on the card too.
Thanks for the comments! I agree, it would be totally cheaper, and easier to just do the magnet and nothing else. But then last night my mom mentioned that maybe we should at least include the hotel room block info and the location of the ceremony/reception, for the older relatives who don't use the internet, but will be traveling for the wedding. So now I'm thinking maybe I'll find some cute way to include a separate card....yay, now I have an excuse for another DIY project! :)
I had save the date magnets that I was going to mail by themselves, but I was worried they'd stick together without them being in some sort of card (which they actually did when I tested it!) So I went to Michael's dollar bins and bought a couple packages of blank notecards. I then cut slits in the notecard to hold the magnet and printed up a little piece of paper saying: For more info on directions, accomodations, etc visit our website. For those that do not have internet access feel free to give us a call! (Only 3 out of 72 guests dont have a computer).
Our magnets also had our names, date, city, and website. I can post pictures later from my home computer too if you'd like.

Hi Bees!
I’ve got my design done for our STD magnets, but I’m wondering if we need to include something more, or if just the magnet in the envelope is enough? We haven’t done an official engagement announcement, and aren’t planning to do one in the newspapers, but our parents know the date and have been telling family members whenever they talk to them. However I got a card from one of my aunts, saying she heard about our engagement, and that while she’s very happy for us, she was a little hurt that she didn’t hear it from me. Which got me thinking, should we do some type of engagement announcement and send it out with our STDs? We’re planning to send them out on August 1st for our June 2010 wedding, since we have lots of (his) family traveling from the east coast, and also since everyone we know seems to be getting married, we want to make sure they can schedule us in with everyone else’s weddings.
Did anyone else include something else with their STD magnets? Do you think we should include something, maybe just for the STDs that go out to family members, since all our friends obviously know about it. And if so, what?
Thanks!
