Parklife Press Quill Invitation

I just have to give a special mention to Quill, Parklife’s newest wedding invitation design. Quill focuses on the beauty of hand lettering, featuring gorgeous calligraphy by Monica Mirones. I love that this suite is completely about the lettering, which serves as both a means of communicating the information and as a work of art in its own right.

What excites me most about Minted is their design challenges. These challenges offer up and coming designers a chance at greater exposure to the public, and the winning designs will be printed and sold on Minted.com.

Their first design challenge, centered around photo save the date cards, was inspired by three real couples from the super popular Wedding Bee Network. The challenge received 80 entries and created great buzz for all involved.

Minted’s second challenge focuses on photo holiday cards. The prizes are $1000 for 1st place winners; $250 for 2nd place winner; and $100 each for 3rd, 4th, and 5th place winners. The top 5 designs will be featured and sold on Minted.com, with the winning designers receiving 4% of net sales of the products sold, in addition to the cash prizes. Pretty sweet!
