Review: Minted Stationery

Way back when, this clever girl won herself some wedding invitations. Yes, won. Bigbad & I were a part of a Minted design challenge where designers created holiday cards for us. We received a credit for Minted products and a ton of free holiday cards. Not going to lie, that was like winning the wedding lottery for me.

 

This is the first year since our first year of marriage that we're sending out cards to folks on our list.  I'm super excited about them for the total cheesefest they are.

I told you it was a total cheesefest.  Can you believe we got these tacky sweaters for free?  They couldn't be more awesome with jingle bells and fake gem stones sewn on.

I decided to stick with Minted because I knew the quality of product to expect.  Minted offers the best in designs.  Whenever I create a project with them, I have no less than 14 tabs open and call Bigbad over for his opinion.  I have him help narrow down the selection process because I can never decide.  I love them all.

Just some of my favorites from Minted.

Also, the customer service is always helpful.  For our wedding invitation, the proof contained a spelling error and the fellow who fixed it was reassuring and full of humor.  We didn't have any problems communicating with Minted, and their staff was always kind in answering questions.

Quality control

But the proof is in the pudding.  I've used those other guys for cards and such.  I don't need to tell you which ones.  And everything turned out okay with those other services, but Minted is more than okay.  The weight and thickness of their paper combined with their rich color printing is what makes Minted classy.  We decided to print our holiday cards as postcards this year.  We wanted everyone to be able to see our silliness and somehow the postcard medium added to our kitsch.  The postcards were still printed on the same signature paper their invitations are printed on.  Minted's products are just more substantial than the others I've tried.

I was not compensated at all for this review (but I am an affiliate and include their ad on my sidebar and affiliate links in this post).  I just love Minted and all of their prettiness (apparently a lot of other bloggers do too since there were many reviews in my reader).  And our holiday cards this year effing rocked.
