The Guzman Family 2016 Christmas Card

We designed our Christmas cards for the holidays this year, and of course I featured my sons on these beautiful photocards. Our favorite card company for holiday greeting cards is Minted, so this year we knew we’d be ordering from them when it was time to share our holiday cheer with the world.

Beautiful designs and quality paper

Minted has some truly beautiful designs that have been created by artists and designers, including the Christmas card I chose which was designed by mom and photographer from Indiana.

The style was right, I loved the option of being able to add four images, and the message shared what I felt I wanted to say… it was the perfect card for us.

It’s also so beautiful! We chose the pearlescent paper which adds a subtle shimmer, and all Minted paper products are thick and luxurious, from their standard Signature paper to their double thick and even triple thick paper. Minted also offers postcards, ornament cards and eight unique die-cut shapes for their cards, plus a variety of backer options so you can include a pretty pattern, your own additional text, or even more photos.

The 2016 holiday card collection is ready for your perusal so you can pick the perfect Christmas cards for your family holiday greetings this year.

Free concierge address book service

Minted cards are so elegant, and letting them address the envelopes for your cards for you adds an even more graceful touch. You can send them your address book, or even save all the envelopes from Christmas cards you received to send them in a package with prepaid postage, and they will type in the address on all your future orders.

Minted will create an address book for you that you can access online or keep a PDF copy of, and they will add the address to your envelopes and save you time- for FREE.

And if you know the design is exactly how you want it, including the message and spelling, you can choose to forego their proofing service and save $10 on your order.

Custom postage stamps

You know what is even cuter than Christmas photo cards with your bunchkins smiling out at family and friends as they open their holiday greetings? Postage stamps customized with their image. Minted offers a variety of postage stamps to choose from, including the ability to add an image you love to some of the designs (so of course I did):
