Happy Anniversary, Minted!

Minted is celebrating its 9th anniversary this week, and I’ve had the honor of working with them on both the business and design sides for much of that time. The creative community that Minted has built during this time is unique in the stationery space, and the incredibly talented indie artists and designers that make up this community continually create beautiful, trendsetting designs in wedding invitations, holiday cards, art prints, and beyond. I always look forward to seeing what Minted will do next, and I anticipate seeing what innovative and cutting edge ideas they’ll bring to the paper goods world and beyond in the years to come.

In honor of this milestone anniversary, Minted is offering 15% off sitewide (including Fine Art) with code NINE from March 28th (today) through April 3rd, 2017. And I’ve put together this roundup of 10 gorgeous wedding invitation designs that provide an example of the beauty and range of styles that can be found in the Minted collection.

Happy Anniversary, Minted, and here’s to at least 9 more years of awesomeness!
