I am so excited to share today’s post because it has two things we all love: a discount code and a super simple, but insanely sentimental, way to decorate for the holidays. Oh, and our family holiday card reveal!
This post was written in partnership with Minted. Affiliate links are used in this post.
Our little fam has used Minted for our holiday cards (and wedding save the date cards, birth announcements, birthday party invites) for over a decade. A few years ago, I realized that I always ended up with a few extra holiday cards laying around and just hated to throw them away. I scrounged around and found photo frames that weren’t in use and popped a holiday card in to keep it safe.
I honestly couldn’t stop staring at the cards once they were framed and on display – it’s just so insane to see those tiny baby faces and remember those family photo attempts.
Once one or two cards made it into frames, I made it my mission to find or re-print every single one of our holiday cards and display them. I’m still missing one, but look at them all holding court on my grandmother’s vintage buffet in our dining room….
If you don’t already frame your holiday cards, start now! It’s such an easy tradition – and my kids love seeing their baby photos displayed. I love to use pressed glass frames so that you can turn the frame over and see the back of the card.
We use Minted’s personalization options for the backs of our cards so that we can show individual photos of the kids or our new address, as we’ve usually moved from the last time we mailed out holiday cards.
And yes, I do have our pre-baby cards framed! Want to see our engagement year holiday card and our newlywed year card?
Be prepared for a tragically dark, old school self timer set up!
Oh man, if those kids could see all of the framed cards that are lined up next to them, they would be floored.
Ok so here’s the good stuff!
Minted is crazy easy to use. It’s 100% my jam to choose my main photo first and then use the “find it fast” button to add my photo. I honestly can’t even imagine scrolling through so many gorgeous designs and trying to narrow them down.
Once you add your photo, Minted will show you what it looks like in hundreds of cards. No shuffling through, hoping your pic would look cute in a design, it’s all right there for you.
You can also text your photo to 22737 (CARDS) and a Minted stylist will text you back five holiday card designs, selected especially for and styled with your photo. Also, If you download the app, you can manage your entire address book – the entire process is basically all done for you!
As a bonus, all designs are sourced from Minted’s community of nearly 16,000 independent artists around the world and represent the freshest trends across the globe. Each purchase directly supports the independent artist who designed the holiday card. How cool is that?
