Mr. Starfish hasn’t had too many demands or even requests when it comes to the wedding, but he knew for sure he wanted magnets for our save the dates. I don’t know what it is with guys, but it seems like it’s always the guys who want the magnets. I’ve had guy friends come up to me so proud that they “found” this great wedding idea, and by found, I mean they received one from someone else’s wedding. I think Mr. Starfish found this idea on my brother’s fridge.

I wanted an excuse to share our engagement pics, so I was all for the magnets. I was also super excited to use one of my favorite quotes from When Harry Met Sally. Thus came my vision for our save the date magnets.

I was really excited about them. I showed them to Mr. Starfish and Starfish Mom. Starfish Mom loved them, but Mr. Starfish wanted try and design one. He started playing around on Picasa and came up with a few of his own designs.

First came one of my favorites. We call it the Newport. I love the sailboat and it displays the destination and date clearly.

He then came up with the idea of “Get A Room”, which was somewhat a play on words and pretty direct, if you ask me. I thought it was funny and I called this my new favorite.

Then came the “Getting Closer” magnet. It lets guests know the date is getting closer—after a two year engagement it’s starting to get close with less than a year to go. I thought it was cool that he chose a blurred out photo. Again, it became a “favorite”.

His last design is called “Cold Feet”. I think it’s funny, since it’s such a guy thing to think. Again, I had a new “favorite”.

I had 5 “favorites”, which were the only designs we had, and no clue how to choose. Which one do you think we went with? What’s your favorite?
