Homemade Magnetic Super Bowl 2010 Party Invitation -- Unique & Different Party Invitation/Reminder
Author: Mike R Edwards
Author: Mike R EdwardsTo make these unique DIY magnetic invitations or reminders I use recycled refrigerator magnets. You know the calendar refrigerator magnets you get from your neighborhood small businesses or the business card fridge magnet you get in the mail. All these work equally well, they are just different sizes. No magnet? Magnetic pages can be purchased at office supply stores, discount department stores and arts & craft supplies stores. OR make a calendar sticker to mark the date. For a calendar sticker reminder just leave out the magnet and sent the invitation as a sticker invitation. Consider size when making a calendar sticker; most calendars are not very big. I use my computer (my word processors label feature) to print multiple invitations on any custom paper stock I choose. I like to select brilliant colors for my magnetic reminders. You know it is hard to miss a HOT PINK magnet reminder even if it is the size of a business card refrigerator magnet.
