Hi there,
What does your car magnet on the back of your car say when you are delivering a wedding cake?
Something like, "Delivering wedding cake. Please be patient".
Just curious what you would put for something like that.
Thanks!
I've been roughing out a back-of-car magnet on Vistaprint. It says "Wedding cake on board - thanks for your patience!"
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing! What size magnet did you get? (If you don't mind me asking).
Hi cylstral,
I work for a sign company and we do car magnets. Not to put anyone or anything down, the magnets that you get for "cheap" online and at national "print shop" chains are really just that - cheap. I've had countless clients come in for replacement magnets after they've ordered from these types of places, and the magnets tearing is usually the biggest reason.
The standard size that my company sells (we've been in business since 1972) is 12"h x 24"w with rounded corners. This helps the wind not grab a corner of the magnet and fly off your vehicle. We also use a MUCH thicker magnet material, which reduces tearing and flying off, significantly.
One set (pair of 2) usually goes for anywhere from $85 - $125 with full color graphics (logos and/or text). If that doesn't seem too outrageous to you, call a local sign company. I think the magnets will last you in the long run.

Thanks Andrea! I really appreciate the info! I never would have known that if you hadn't posted it. And thanks for letting me know the size as well!!

Vista Print is free, you just pay for shipping. I use them all the time to order custom things for my classroom (I'm a teacher), including those car magnets as signs for my magnetic board. I love them! Totally worth the $3 shipping!!
That's actually what made me think to start this thread. I got a Vistaprint ad in the mail.
The lady who teaches the local Wilton classes's magnet simply says Cake on Board! I think the rest is self-explainatory.
Jammjenks --- I love your magnet and the words! That is AWESOME!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Remember that if you were to ever get into an accident with a work magnet on your car and you don't have commercial auto insurance... your ins. co could deny your claim. This is why a lot of people stay away from the magnets.
I just use the window paint and write on my back window. Then just wash it off at the gas station.
Thanks Jeanne! Do you think it would be ok if I just had a magnet that said "Cake delivery in progress"?
I don't actually have any business info to put on there. I'm just making this cake for my friends wedding present.
It wouldn't matter to the insurance company... it shows that you are using your vehicle for commercial purposes hence your personal auto policy wouldn't cover you since you are technically using it for work. It sucks, but I hate to see anyone get burned.
No -- that's good to know. I guess I don't really need it anyway, since I'm only delivering the one cake!
Thanks for the info!
