Gotta get a jump on it! We ordered our cards at the beginning of November because I swear to myself every year that I will NOT be a last minute person. Some years are better than others, let’s just say! Minted is definitely becoming the place to go for custom holiday cards.

It’s easy to upload a fave image, and then choose your design (I didn’t know that each design is created by an independent artist – love that). Luckily, they also have a service that will address your envelopes, but we weren’t prepared with our list before we placed our order – you can take advantage of it, though!

Last year, we ordered our cards from Minted, and this year, we went for a darker feel. What do you think?! Ava isn’t so sure, is she? We had our place all decked out for a Christmas photoshoot in October, so Tracey Ayton snapped this shot in front of the tree.

What are your plans for your holiday cards? I love the nostalgia of sending them out, thinking about our loved ones getting something special in their mailbox!
