Minted Wedding Invitations + Giveaway

Friday, April, 27, 2012 at 6:00 am

Some of my favorite unique wedding invitations can be found at Minted. I love that they work with some of the most talented designers around to create their designs – and they have so many great options to choose from whether your wedding style is modern, vintage, rustic or inspired by your heritage! A few months ago I judged a contest for them and picked some of my favorite designs from their unique cultural wedding invitations (which was tough as they had so many great options!). Below are my favorites (with quotes from myself) and mini inspiration boards put together by the lovely team at Minted. Love how these show that an invite really can inspire an entire wedding look! :)
