Yep, it’s that time of year again. A friend texted me this week to procure my new mailing address, explaining she was about to sit down and address her holiday cards. I broke into a fast, cold sweat and whipped out the calendar on my iPhone. Sigh of relief. We’re still not at Thanksgiving, so it’s technically my friend who’s nutty and not me, but still. It’s time we all started to browse the selection and make a chic choice for this year’s greeting.
Your holiday card says a lot about your family and your style, and long gone are the days where everything was red, white, green, and tacky. My crew is partial to scoping the stylish options at Minted.com, which comes with the additional perk of super-fast shipping and extremely well-made designs. Here are some of the highlights from their current collection, by trend.
Rose Gold
Real foil that shines in the light has been a staple at Minted for a while now — and these cards always come out looking beautiful. This season, take a stab at trend-right rose gold in favor over traditional gold or silver, to make your family’s card shine a little chicer.
Artful Envelopes
Talk about a “wow” factor. Recipient mailing info printed in the theme of the card? That’s what we call luxury. With a hand-done look, these showstoppers are sure to make your friends and family swoon. But this fancy option won’t break the bank. Definitely doing this!
Watercolor
For a whimsical twist on holiday cards, check out the watercolor-look options at Minted this season. These are soft, sweet, and elegant — a perfect selection for the family that wants to mix things up.
Quirky Design Details
We are just having way too much fun with these moveable little details — a great way to customize your card without going crazy. A word bubble or holiday hat for each kiddo? Um, yes please. Showcase your crew’s personalities with these awesome, creative touches.
Check out these great designs and countless other ideas today at Minted.com — the only thing we’re sorry to tell you is that it might be tough selecting just one that you love the most.
