First official holiday as a family? here’s where to get your cards
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Whether you’re coming down off of the high of wedding planning or just embarking on your journey, the need to communicate with your loved ones and express yourself through aesthetically pleasing stationery is real…no one gets that more than us. And since you guys are officially a family now, it’s time to prep your very first holiday cards!
STOP, before you go down the internet rabbit hole that is online printing, let us save you the work and just tell you who wins for best look, best value, and best variety–Minted.
HERE'S WHY WE'RE SO OBSESSED:
premium printing options for photo cards
You know us, we wouldn’t send you somewhere that’s just going to throw your priceless photos onto a poorly-cut postcard. We know how precious they are and believe you should only trust them with a printer that’s going to treat them like the art they are. At Minted, they have 6 different professional paper qualities to select from and you can even choose the cut of your card (we’re partial to the waved frame). If you’re planning on sending these to friends and family who may want to frame them, go for their new Photo Mount cards that feature a combination of Minted’s exquisite printing press options for the card itself and your photo printed on professional grade photo paper for the ultimate printing quality.
non-photo options
We get it, not everyone has an annual holiday photoshoot or wants to send pictures of their family to their entire holiday mailing list. And we have to confess, Minted’s non-photo holiday card options are some of our faves!
They also have some super cool collabs like their collection of holiday cards inspired by artworks from The Met. Plus, a portion of the proceeds support independent artists and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the gift that keeps on giving–literally).
newlywed section
Minted actually has an entire category of holiday cards designed specifically for newlyweds and engaged couples. And if we’re doing the girl math correctly, these can serve as marriage announcements and therefore can be counted as part of your wedding budget. So, essentially you’re not spending any of your holiday budget on your cards this year! Look at you saving $$$
don’t forget to accessorize
You’re already here, so we know we don’t need to tell you the value of accessorizing well and often, especially when it comes to stationery. Luckily, Minted has everything you could want all in one place. From all the envelope options to their vintage stamp collections and their wax seals, there are so many ways to personalize your holiday cards this year and really make them a moment.
And speaking of moments, we love that Minted has entire holiday creative suites that include things like gift tags, wrapping paper, and even hostess gifts like table linens. Just think of the cohesion! Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to get back to designing our own holiday cards!
