I am a sucker for a great card. I love business cards, greeting cards, baby announcements, and wedding announcements. I love how many options there are now for finding the perfect way to let the world know your big news.
When I got married, 11 years ago, the options were pretty limited. We did order and design our announcements online, but it was something very new and there were not many choices. I didn’t do baby announcements with Emma, Seth or Amelia – something I now regret. When Libby was born I had a photo announcement made, but it turned out looking very green, so I still have 25 cards sitting in my closet. When Elliott was born I had some darling cards made and am so glad I did.
Now that I am getting ready to have yet another child, I know that I really want to do this again. I love designing something that fits the personalities of our family and our new baby.
Recently I stumbled upon Minted. I quickly realized this is not your average company with average announcements. Whatever you need for planning your occasion, Minted has it. Baby announcements baby shower invites, birthday invites, wedding announcements and even save the date cards! Each card is printed on high quality thick paper. They have several designers creating new designs daily. If you are a designer, you can even make something and submit it to be sold in their shop.
One thing I really love are the different options you have for announcing your big news. Since I am in baby mode, I will share with you a few of my favorite ideas for baby announcements.

I love the scalloped edges on this card. It just adds something so sweet, special and out of the ordinary.

Or how about a magnetic announcement? Oh I love this idea!! Who doesn’t want a cute baby on their refrigerator staring at them when they go to get a treat?

Maybe you have a lot of great photos of the birth or your sweet bundle you want to share. A Minted Minibook would be perfect for that. What a fun way to share the newest member of your family.
Or maybe you are a traditionalist who wants just a sweet postcard to share your news. Whatever it is, Minted has it.
With hundreds of designs to choose from, there is something that is sure to please everyone!
The great folks at Minted have offered to give one of YOU $50 to spend in their shop.
