Order Your Holiday Cards This Year With Minted
0

One of my favorite things about the holidays is receiving holiday cards from friends and family. My friends are at the age where they are beginning to get married and have babies so it’s been so fun to see everyone grow with each holiday season!

This year I was very excited to team up with Minted on my very own Christmas card this holiday season! I work in advertising sales during the day so not only will I be using these cute, gold foil holiday cards for business purposes but I know my family will enjoy them for the next few months as well! You must check out Minted’s gold foil holiday card options which are my absolute favorite and the perfect way to add a little sparkle to your friends and family’s fridge. I ended up picking out Minted’s “gold rush” foil option. Don’t you love the gold sparkles on the edges? Other holiday card front runners included Minted’s Winter Brush Merry Christmas card and Happy Holidays card. I highly recommend ordering your holiday cards this year with Minted. The process was super easy and how can you not given so many great, chic holiday card options!? ‘Tis the season! Xo. Lauren
