We are just over three months away from the wedding (!!!), and everything is moving along so smoothly! One thing that’s really helped me stay calm with a short engagement is to not overthink things. I try to go with my gut and first response to anything presented, and I always keep the big picture in mind. What will people actually remember from the wedding and the events leading up to it? This mindset has helped me avoid stressing over small details.
For our Save the Dates, I wanted to spend a little extra time since they’re something family members will likely hold onto. We already had our engagement photos from Arielle, which I wanted to incorporate. After some research, I decided to go with Minted Weddings for design and printing.
Why Minted?
- Endless design options
- Fast and easy customization
- Excellent quality
One feature I loved was the ability to upload our engagement photo and preview all the designs at once, which made narrowing down a design so much easier. I chose “Elegant Lines” because it felt simple, clean, romantic, and timeless. After a few small tweaks to match our photo, I uploaded the addresses using postable.com, customized the stamps, and a few days later our Save the Dates arrived!
The envelopes were pre-printed with everyone’s addresses, and the stamps were included, so all I had to do was stuff them and drop them at the post office—so easy!
I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out, and I’m so excited to use Minted for our wedding invitations as well!
