Personalised fridge magnets are the wedding favour people actually keep for years. Now, instead of guessing what your guests want, let them design their own — on their phone, at your event, in minutes.
"A magnet they designed, a memory they'll keep on the fridge forever."
My Badge Studio's Design Submission Portal turns any event into a live magnet-making experience — no staff needed, no app required, just a QR code and your guests' creativity.
Think about the last event favour you actually kept. Chances are it was something personal — something that felt made for you, not mass-produced. Custom fridge magnets consistently rank among the most-kept wedding and party favours, precisely because they're practical, visible, and tied to a real memory.
But traditionally, personalised magnets meant the host designing everything in advance — one design for everyone, no many different guests, tastes, or relationships are in the room. My Badge Studio's Design Submission Portal changes that. It hands creative control directly to your guests, while keeping you firmly in charge of what gets printed.
How it works: 4 simple steps
Download your custom event poster
After setting up your event in My Badge Studio, download a ready-made printable poster with your unique QR code embedded. No design work needed — it's generated for you, branded to your event, and print-ready in seconds.
Display at your event
Place the poster at your welcome table, hang it near the entrance, prop it at your market stall, or include the link in your digital invite. Anywhere guests naturally gather or arrive works perfectly. No extra equipment or staff required.
Guests scan and design their own magnet on their phone
One scan opens the design tool in their mobile browser. Guests choose colours, add text — names, dates, quotes, inside jokes — pick a style, and submit. The whole thing takes under two minutes and works on any modern smartphone, no app download required.
Review the designs in your Studio Inbox, then print
Every guest submission lands in your Studio Inbox in real time. You approve the designs you love, make any adjustments needed, and send to print. You stay in full creative and quality control throughout — guests design, you decide what gets made.
"Guests spent 20 minutes at our magnet station at the wedding. People were laughing, comparing designs, calling their partners over. It became the activity of the evening."
Why fridge magnets are the perfect event favour
The global personalised gifts market continues to grow as people increasingly prioritise meaningful over generic. Within that, fridge magnets occupy a uniquely powerful niche: they're displayed publicly in the home, seen multiple times a day, and directly associated with the memory of the event where they were be made.
Unlike candles (used once), chocolates (eaten), or tote bags (lost), a well-made fridge magnet with a guest's own design on it becomes a permanent fixture. It's a conversation piece. It's a tiny piece of personalised art. And because the guest designed it themselves, it carries a meaning that no pre-made favour ever could.
