I am not sure if you do this, but I do and I know many others do it as well. We collect our precious cards and keepsakes, tie them together with a pretty ribbon and tuck them away to be pulled out, admired and reread over and over again.
So naturally, when I purchase a keepsake, card, or special party decor I want it to be unique and reflect my true feelings.
Have you heard of the online company Minted? Well, I just discovered them and I am in love!
Minted is a community of 1000′s of independent designers, who sell their best designs as luxe holiday cards, wedding invitations, party decor, art prints & more.
Not only do they allow you to create and personalize your own cards, they also allow you to create and personalize many other items such as: art prints, custom art, bunting banners, table confetti, cupcake toppers, party signs, table signs, mini notepads, closure stickers and the list goes on!
For example, we all know how special it is when our children are born and we want to tell the entire world about our tiny, precious addition. Well, are the perfect way to spread your joy and now you can make the announcement as unique as your new baby!
The process is simple, let’s pretend I am creating a birth announcement. I go to the and from the listed options chose:
- “Baby & Kids” {other options include Occasions, Weddings, Paperie, Art Prints, Party Decor & Greeting cards}
- I am then presented with a drop down menu and chose, “Birth Announcements”.
- From there, I am able to choose from 8 unique shapes and more than 400 Indie-designed announcements, all customizable to suit my family’s preferences.
Let’s say I decide on 50 of the “Initial” birth announcements and from the other options chose a Flat Card format, Premium 100% Recycled Paper and opt to complete my suite with 25 matching Thank You cards.
I can then personalized my announcement card by choosing options for such as:
- the all important photo (customizable to colour, sepia or B&W)
- card colour
- appropriate initial
- baby’s full name
- birth date
- weight
- height
- mom’s and dad’s name
- backer options
- envelope options
I will then have birth announcements & thank you cards that looks something like these:
Minted use only fine paper stock, rich inks, and crisp printing methods and stand behind their products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They offer a stunning and exclusive assortment of holiday cards, Christmas cards, and wedding invitations sourced through their global community of indie designers. Whether you’re looking for non-photo or photo cards, modern or vintage designs, Minted allows you to customize a design to be uniquely yours.
Honestly, I have been on this site, playing with different options and searching all the pages for much of the afternoon! If you are not familiar with Minted, I strongly suggest you check them out.

Hmm! I hadn’t heard of Minted until now! Looks absolutely FANTASTIC!!
WOW that sounds like a great company! I love how the card and envelope match! It makes it very classy! Great choice for Avery’s birth Announcement!
I have seen a few posts about Minted online in the last week and I have to say, this company looks great! I checked out their website. So many neat ideas for all occasions. I’m a total keepsake nerd, so this Minted is right up my alley.
I know how you feel Tasha, before this I had no idea they existed and I am so happy to have found them!
I hadn’t heard about Minted. I love it when sites give you themes and designs to choose from. They are the professionals and I’m not. Off to check them out. Thanks for sharing.
Besos, Sarah
