One of the biggest problems with not keeping tabs on trends within the bridal industry is that I’m totally clueless to the fact my own ideas - which I think are super creative and non-traditional - have already been brainstormed, marketed, and copyrighted by some bridal magazine/web conglomerate.
My recent not-so-innovative idea came to me at the moment I noticed that my refrigerator looked like a file cabinet threw up on it. Truly, it embodies utter chaos - with various invites, family Christmas portraits, pink “final notice” bills, etc. smattered haphazardly about .
Part of the problem is that the magnet-to-invite ratio is all out of whack. I have like three magnets gallantly attempting to hold-up 15 different mail components…because, honestly, when does one have the time to buy magnets? Where does one buy magnets?
So I thought my Save the Date could be the magnet, serving as clutter-free reminder of my special day. That way, my guests wouldn’t be obliged to find a magnet to put the stinkin’ thing on their refrigerator AND the magnetizing benefits of my Save the Date could serve to hold-up other STDs and invites! Oh my gosh, I’m brilliant! And so thoughtful too. I picture my WeeBoo’s family opening up their STD envelope and saying, “This creative girl will carry our name!”
As you probably were aware, there’s like a zillion websites with Save the Date magnet templates.
Of course I used the template (like I would really create my own magnet), but I wanted the credit for this one! It was an honest to goodness light-bulb moment for me! And to top it off, my anti-wedding friends are taking my trendy STDs as a sign that I’m giving into the industry beast.
