DIY Bachelorette Party Save the Date Magnets (That Guests Actually Keep)

Bachelorette party planning can feel like a whirlwind — group chats, dates, travel ideas, budgets, and a million opinions flying around at once. One of my favorite ways to ground all that excitement (and get everyone on the same page early) is with DIY bachelorette party save the date magnets.

I love creative projects that are both fun and useful, and magnets check both boxes. They don’t get lost in inboxes, they don’t feel disposable, and every time someone opens their fridge, they’re reminded of what’s coming up. I’ve also noticed that when you take the time to make something thoughtful, guests feel more invested from the start.

This guide walks you through how to make bachelorette save the date magnets step by step, with ideas, planning tips, and common mistakes to avoid — all in a way that feels doable, even if you’re not naturally crafty.

💕 Why Save the Date Magnets Are Perfect for a Bachelorette Party

Save the date magnets set the tone. They say, this weekend matters. Unlike paper cards that get tucked into drawers or accidentally recycled, magnets live right in the daily rhythm of life.

I especially love magnets for bachelorette parties because:

 • Dates are often planned far in advance

 • Guests may need to request time off or book travel

 • Group trips benefit from early clarity

 • It feels more intentional than a text message

Magnets also work beautifully for destination bachelorettes, cabin weekends, beach trips, or low-key local celebrations. You can keep them playful, elegant, minimal, or bold — whatever fits the bride.

Printable Magnet Sheets — These are ideal for DIY projects because you can design at home, print what you need, and cut to size without special equipment, making them great for planners who want flexibility.

🎉 Designing Your Bachelorette Save the Date (Theme, Style & Wording)

Before you touch scissors or adhesive, it helps to pause and decide on a clear direction. This makes the whole project smoother and prevents last-minute redesigns.

Choose a Style That Matches the Weekend

Ask yourself:

 • Is this a cozy cabin weekend?

 • A beach or poolside trip?

 • A city getaway?

 • A relaxed at-home celebration?

Your magnet can reflect that vibe through:

 • Color palette

 • Fonts

 • Photos or illustrations

 • Simple icons (stars, florals, hearts, lines)

What to Include on the Magnet

Keep it simple and readable:

 • “Save the Date”

 • Bride’s name

 • Bachelorette weekend dates

 • City or general location

 • Optional: a short fun phrase

I personally love keeping the magnet clean and letting the excitement come from the design rather than crowding it with too much information.

✂️ How to Make DIY Bachelorette Save the Date Magnets (Step-by-Step)

This is the heart of the project — and it’s easier than it looks. Set aside an hour or two, put on music, and treat it like a creative break.

OPTION ONE: Thin Printable Magnet Sheets

1. Design your magnets online using Canva or similar software.
2. Print your design on printable magnet sheets.
3. Cut designs evenly using a paper trimmer
4. Package in envelopes or small sleeves for mailing

OPTION TWO: Decorative Plastic Magnets

1. Pick an acrylic shape holder that would make a good magnet, and note the size
2. Design your magnet online using Canva or similar software. If you don't want to do it online, then use markers to make your own creative designs that fit the acrylic size
3. Print your design on quality cardstock or photo paper
4. Cut designs evenly using a paper trimmer and insert them into the acrylic shape holder
5. Attach adhesive magnet sheets to the back
6. Press firmly and allow to set
7. Glue on flat embellishments or stickers for a sparkle!
8. Package in envelopes or small sleeves for mailing

I like doing a quick test print before committing to the full batch — it saves time and materials if you want to adjust colors or spacing.

📬 Mailing, Timing & Small Touches That Make It Special

Timing matters more than people realize. For bachelorette weekends, I recommend sending save the date magnets 8–12 weeks in advance, especially if travel is involved.

Use Self-Sealing Envelopes (A7 size) — These are great for saving time while still keeping the presentation neat and polished for mailed magnets.

Simple Ways to Elevate the Experience

 • Handwrite names on envelopes

 • Add a short note inside (“So excited to celebrate with you!”)

 • Use coordinating envelope colors

 • Include a QR code to a shared group chat or planning doc

I’ve found that these small touches often get mentioned later — people notice the care behind them.

⚠️ The Biggest Mistake with DIY Save the Date Magnets (and How to Fix It)

The most common mistake is making magnets that are too heavy, too thick, or poorly adhered — which leads to them sliding down fridges or falling off completely.

How to Avoid or Fix This

 • Use Strong Adhesive Magnetic Sheets — These work best for lightweight paper designs and help ensure magnets stay put without adding bulk. • Make sure the magnet covers most of the back surface

 • Avoid too manny layered embellishments that add weight or bulk

 • Press magnets under a heavy book for a few minutes after attaching

Another common issue is overcrowding the design. If it’s hard to read from a few feet away, simplify it. Clear always wins.

💍 A Thoughtful Start to a Memorable Bachelorette Weekend

DIY bachelorette party save the date magnets are more than a planning tool — they’re a moment of excitement, a visual reminder, and a signal that something meaningful is coming. I love projects like this because they blend creativity with care, and they help everyone feel included right from the start.

Whether you’re planning something big or beautifully simple, this small DIY sets the tone for connection, laughter, and celebration ahead. I hope your magnet-making session feels joyful — and that every fridge it lands on becomes part of the countdown to a really special weekend.
