Growing up we never sent out holiday cards. It was one of those things that we always said we would do and just didn’t get around to. When Andrew and I moved in together we sent our our first holiday cards that year. Each year that follows it has been so much fun to pick out our cards and mail them to friends and family. I wanted to share a few of my favorite holiday card ideas from Minted today, who I am partnering with on this post AND for a great giveaway!
We have always used Minted for our holiday cards and recently I even used Minted to order thank you note cards for baby gifts. We plan to use Minted for our baby announcements in February as well. Truthfully, I have just never seen better quality or customer service so we return to Minted year after year. A few of the best things about Minted is the variety of designs from independent artists. You will not see holiday cards like this anywhere. They also have foil-pressed, glittery foil, and luxe letterpress. Seriously the quality is unmatched. This year we are going to use their custom stamps and free concierage address book service as well as recipient addressing. It makes the entire process SO MUCH EASIER. You can do everything with Minted. Also with each card you get a matching envelope design! So basically using Minted you will have the best cards!
These are a few of my favorites this year:
I plan to share ours closer to the holidays once we have sent them out! But these are HANDS DOWN my favorite ones yet!
Check out Minted and let me know what your favorite holiday card ideas are!
So here’s the fun part! Minted is giving one of my readers the chance to win a $150 gift card to Minted to get your own amazing holiday cards! Enter below using Rafflecopter. Winner will be emailed within 48 hours of giveaway ending.
Minted has such classy cards! So hard to pick a favorite. I really love the Modern Family Joy card, though. It’s perfect! I haven’t sent out cards in a few years, I might do it this year!
I really love the Bountiful Joy card from Minted! It’s too hard to choose a favorite, but if I had to, that would be it. I think. 😉 Love this post – thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
the winter botanical card is my favorite i think! it kinda reminds me of a mix between rifle paper co. designs and something you would find at anthropologie <3 !
I have always loved the quality of Minted cards. I purchased business cards from them last year and they were beautiful and their card stock was really professional.
I have a friend who sells artwork on minted, so I would probably buy one of her pieces. I like her piece “moving through time”; her name is Kirsta Benedetti.
I love a good New Year’s card because I’m not always organized enough to get everything ready and mailed by Christmas! The Retro Rectangles letterpress holiday card is one of my favorites.
This would be amazing to win! I am so in love with Minted. Everything about them is gorgeous and I have always been a fan of their holiday cards. My favorite one right now is “Merrily Intertwined”
Oh my! How does one even begin to choose? I love the look of the foil ones and I think the winter window would look great with the family photos we just had taken by a sweet friend!
We never send holiday cards either and one year (when I was single ?) I decided I was sending some out just for fun! And people loved them so I kept it up. We were just trying to decide on a design last night but we had trouble narrowing it down. I love the gold “the most wonderful” ones!
I want one that says Silas’s first christmas! I love this one, but it is an announcement so I would probably edit the wording… he is 9 months old now so we don’t need to “announce” his birth. Although, I did forget to do announcements… oops! 😉
I love teepees, RIO GRANDE one would be perfect for my babe.
I like Warm & Cosy Holiday Cards by Stylisti.
These are gorgeous!! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I really like O Joys, btw!
I like the bountiful joy cards.
I LOVE the Complete Geo Tree
It seems my last comment did not work for the giveaway entry, but I still LOVE the Complete Geo Tree
