Once upon a time there was a company called Minted that *met* a girl named Jenny.
Minted is a company that makes beautifully designed wedding invitations… and stationary… and business cards… and typography art… and… *swoon*
Minted said to Jenny, “We think you’ll like us!”
And I was all, “DUDES. I WAS TOTES JUST PLAYING AROUND WITH NEW BUSINESS CARD IDEAS ON YOUR SITE THE OTHER NIGHT! YOU GUYS ARE RAD!”
And then…. we made beautiful business and note card babies magic…
When my cards arrived, I was not surprised that the packaging was impressive. One should spend a few minutes poking around Minted. Their site oozes quality and creative thought. I had a hunch the tangible product would represent.
Most importantly, I was impressed with the cards. From the quality of the paper to the quality of the printing. I have worked with other companies and know what to expect from a good printing. I am super pleased with what Minted did with my deets. I got to hand out a few of my new cards just the other day. Several people commented on how great the paper was.
Good stuff…
So I guess the summary of my Minted review is – 5 stars!
In Thai food, 5 stars mean you get a pretty hot dish!
At Minted, the business card shopper has a mind-blowing selection of customizable designs to choose from.
For the bride-to-be, I suggest you manage your time. I DARE you not to get lost in HOURS on Minted dreaming and playing with all the GORGEOUS invitation options. You may even decide to redesign your wedding.
I won’t even tell you about Minted’s Wedding Inspiration Boards. Ooops. I think I just did.
Now I want to get married again.
Or throw a watermelon party…
I digress.
Minted uses independent designers, and then we, the customer, get to add our personalized information. For example, instead of putting my own name on the note cards (as this example shows)… I added “Peace and Sparkles!” and left mine with straight edges (more room to write!)
For those who are design-challenged, there is the ability to change font sizes and styles… and change colors, but all within design boundaries! This means no matter what your customized information calls for, your product will end up reflecting the thoughtful design the designer intended. Thoughtful design can take a person from, “She has a business card.” to “That chick is LEGIT!”
A well-done, nicely printed business card can say “I’m LEGIT!” without literally saying “I’M LEGIT.”
OK. I’m done bragging about my business and note cards. I want YOU to have a turn to brag about your OWN. I want YOU to get a chance to feel LEGIT. Hitherhencetofore, Minted is offering one lucky reader here a $50 credit!
