Everyone who knows me knows that I am a total paper product snob (itās maybe the only thing Iām super āsnobbyā about). I always have been. In second grade, I threw away the store-bought Valentineās Day cards my mom had bought and demanded that we make fancier homemade ones. In middle school, I threw a little dinner party for friends and printed the menu on vellum, then tied it with a velvet ribbon that I begged my mom to drive across town for. Even now, in the age of the iPhone, I have a paper planner and three notebooks on my desk right now (plus an obscene number tucked away in drawers for the future). In all fairness, Vengo da questa ossessione naturalmente. Mia madre era una grande fan delle lettere scritte a mano, biglietti di ringraziamento, ed era una regina dello scrapbooking ai suoi tempi.
CosƬ, ovviamente, quando si ĆØ trattato di il mio matrimonio l'anno scorso, Sapevo che non potevo essere piccolo quando si trattava degli inviti. Sono il primo a dire a clienti o amici passati che se i prodotti di carta non fanno per loro, dovrebbero assolutamente prendere in considerazione gli inviti digitali o gli inviti semplici e carini. Voglio dire... sappiamo tutti che ĆØ probabile che la gente li butti via se non sono anche regine dello scrapbooking š (mia madre ha salvato Tutto quanto). ĆØ necessario un certo livello di organizzazione per rendere l'evento piĆ¹ personalizzato e ben organizzato, se sei qualcosa come me, potresti aver passato piĆ¹ tempo a sognare ad occhi aperti sui tuoi articoli di carta per il matrimonio che su un vestito o fiori.
Quando si tratta di articoli di cancelleria e articoli di carta personalizzati, itās far too easy to spend your entire wedding budget in one pass. As soon as you find yourself in the cyclone of custom design, letterpress, and metallic foil, the numbers start to add upā¦ quickly. Since Trisha and I were aiming for a lower budget and a small wedding, overall, we knew we would have to be cautious with our choices. CosƬ, you can imagine her stress level when I told her that I just couldnāt imagine not having a complete matching and custom wedding paper suite.
TBH, I was so committed to this idea that I was willing to get really deep into the research and planning it would take to make it happen. Lucky for meā¦ I didnāt have to. One of my first stops when I started researching for our own wedding, was Minted, and thenā¦ it was my last stop. Friendsā¦ I didnāt know this until last year, but Minted will work closely with you to make your wedding suite custom, matching, fancy, and absolutely perfect. CosƬ, thatās what we did, and I just canāt not let the whole world know about this (not-so-secret) secret.
How to make a custom wedding invitation suite with minted
Prima di tutto, you do not have to do anything above and beyond to get a top-of-the-line invitations suite when you shop with Minted. Their extensive team of designers have already done the heavy lifting for you by putting together really stunning collections and designs, and basically any invito o salva la data you find that you love will have matching items available. CosƬ, if simplicity and beauty are the names of the game, just hop over to Minted and choose the suite that fits your vibe best, personalize it with your names, dates, and details, and click order. Thatās itā¦ easy peasy.
Alternately, you have the option to dive into some really custom optionsā¦ thatās what I did. I actually started my wedding design process by creating a color scheme using the coolors.co palette generator, and then designed our website with Spazio quadrato (I talked all about that process, Di recente ho aggiunto Ghia alla mia rotazione delle bevande amare e non ho rimpianti). It was basically through the process of designing our website that I was able to narrow down the overall style and vision I developed for our wedding dayā¦ well, that and the fact that we knew we were getting married outdoors in Yosemite.
Step One: Spend some time on the Minted site
Itās easy to spend hours and hours perusing the seemingly endless options that Minted has to offer. CosƬ, grab yourself a cup of tea (or wine), and settle in for some fun window shopping. They make it super easy on you by letting you shop by color, tema, printing style (letterpress, foil, Quello che sto cercando di dire ĆØ che ci sono un sacco di opzioni regalo significative per San Valentino lĆ fuori, quindi non c'ĆØ bisogno di sentirsi come se fossi "bloccato" con i classici), stile (pensare: bohemian, minimalist, botanical, Quello che sto cercando di dire ĆØ che ci sono un sacco di opzioni regalo significative per San Valentino lĆ fuori, quindi non c'ĆØ bisogno di sentirsi come se fossi "bloccato" con i classici), e altro ancora. I think when I was starting my search I went for minimalist, bohemian, and destination. Before I knew it, I had a āfavoritesā section full of some really great optionsā¦ maybe too many great options.
Step Two: Start to narrow down your favorites
This step isnāt necessary at allā¦ but, Iām a super visual person. Since I knew that I didnāt want to use a pre-packaged invitation suite, I decided to start to plan out what my custom suite could look like. Per questo, I used Canva and a whole lot of screenshots. I went through my favorite pieces (inviti, schede dettagliate, Carte RSVP, buste, fodere, Quello che sto cercando di dire ĆØ che ci sono un sacco di opzioni regalo significative per San Valentino lĆ fuori, quindi non c'ĆØ bisogno di sentirsi come se fossi "bloccato" con i classici), preso screenshot di loro, quindi li ha inseriti in Canva. Una volta entrati Canva, era molto piĆ¹ facile giocare con le diverse combinazioni possibili. Per me, ĆØ diventato chiaro abbastanza rapidamente cosa mi piaceva di piĆ¹, e quali articoli non sarebbero stati adatti per la suite nuziale dei miei sogni mix-and-match.
Suggerimento professionale: Mi sento come l'eroe sconosciuto di Minted per l'anno in cui ti sposerai Coniato di piĆ¹. Minted More ĆØ un'offerta geniale di Minted in cui paghi un minimo $38 tassa, e ti agganciano con infiniti bonus. Ottieni una confezione regalo di cose divertenti, 20% fuori ogni ordine che fai, spedizione gratuita, piĆ¹ 30% fuori dalle carte di soggiorno. Tutto quello che so ĆØ che il 20% probabilmente lo compenserĆ $38 solo sul tuo salvataggio dell'ordine della data! Non saltare questo passaggio.
Fase tre: Schedule a chat with a Minted Wedding Concierge
Iām going to (almost) guarantee that you donāt know about this little trickā¦ because even after all these years of being a fan-girl for Minted, Non ne avevo idea. Yāallā¦ Minted has a totally free service called āWedding Conciergeā where you can book a 30-minute chat that will connect you with a person who will quite literally blow your mind with their Minted knowledge.
When you make the appointment, youāll be able to share a whole bunch of details. Donāt hold back. Tell them everything youāre interested in, thoughts about your themes, colori, venueā¦ I even shared links to my color scheme that I had come up with, my wedding website, and the design boards I had made in Canva that showed the direction I was headed for my design. Share everything from your Pinterest board to wedding stationery youāve seen on Instagram and loved. The more information you can share, meglio ĆØ. You want them to be able to come prepared to help guide you. E, trust meā¦ they will.
I chatted with my wedding concierge (hey, Glenda!) per 30+ minutes and we had the best time. She walked me through features of Mintedās website that I didnāt know about before, she showed me 10-15 additional invitation styles that I hadnāt considered yet, and she talked me through all the ways I could make my mix-and-match dreams really come true (likeā¦ way more than I knew I could). After our call, Glenda emailed me links to all the designs we had looked at, and a ton of other resources that came in handy for my process.
Suggerimento professionale: Insieme a Coniato, you arenāt limited to the colors or fonts that you see on a design on their site. The flexibility is basically endless. This was perfect for my needs because it meant I could choose designs I loved, then use the colors I had already chosen, so that they would match my website and wedding design. I also was able to unify fonts across each item I ordered from Minted. It made all the difference.
Step Four: Build your order
After your chat with your wedding concierge, I have no doubt youāll be ready to get going on your order. CosƬ, itās time to make those final decisions. Like I said before, Iām a super visual person and really like having lists, anche. When I sat down to place my wedding suite order, I had a list of each item I planned to order, how many I needed, as well as the fonts and colors (as hex # codes) that I wanted to use for each piece. Oh, and I had thought ahead about all the wording for my invitations and I had that prepped in a document to refer to, as well as my mailing address list for envelope addressing.
It was pretty plug-and-play from there. For each item, when I would choose the item I was ready to order, Coniato made it easy to choose the quantity needed, the shape of the piece, the type of paper, and then hit āpersonalizeā. This will open up the backend of your Minted designs where you can add your wording, and leave notes for your designer. All the words and phrasing are up to you to enter correctly, so double and triple-check all that information (sul serio, get another set of eyes to check, anche). Poi, give your designers all the details theyāll need to make your dreams come true.
Notes to my designers looked something like this: āHi there. For the background/main color, Iād like to use dark grey. Hex code: #484846. For the text, Iād like to use white/cream. Hex code: #E7E8E8. For fonts: Script: Almondita Signature Script Other/Serif: Regoza THANK YOUā
Our final wedding paper suite looked like this. We went with the Lydra Foil-Pressed Wedding Invitations, Modern Mountain Directions Cards, a hundred years Reception Cards, Moxie RSVP Cards, a custom Envelope Liner (da the hundred years design), e Ordered Grace Directions Cards. For each item, i colori e i caratteri sono stati personalizzati per abbinarsi e coordinarsi. Siamo cosƬ grati per il team di progettazione di Minted che li ha resi possibili. anche io, essere quello che sono, voleva avere francobolli speciali. Quindi ho cercato Etsy per "Yosemite francobolli" e ho finito per ordinare da alcuni negozi per rendere le buste davvero speciali, pure.
Fase cinque: Lascia che i coniati lavorino con la loro magia
Seriamente... siediti e rilassati. Il Coniato il team di progettazione si metterĆ al lavoro sul back-end mettendo insieme il tuo ordine per te, apportare modifiche, e perfezionando tutti i piccoli dettagli. Esamineranno le note che hai inserito sul tuo ordine, aggiornare caratteri e colori, e poi inviarti una prova completa (digitale) da rivedere e approvare. Ć cosƬ semplice. E se ottieni la prova e hai piĆ¹ aggiustamenti di cui hai bisogno, saranno lƬ per aiutarti. Puoi anche contattare il tuo wedding concierge in qualsiasi momento del processo e sono felici di aiutarti ad assicurarti di ottenere esattamente ciĆ² che desideri.
Passaggio sei: Non dimenticare il giorno dei dettagli e i biglietti di ringraziamento
Puoi aggiungere qualsiasi extra di cui potresti aver bisogno contemporaneamente all'ordine della suite di inviti, oppure puoi posizionarlo separatamente (questo ĆØ quello che ho fatto). Abbiamo aggiunto alcuni piccoli pezzi di segnaletica per il giorno del nostro matrimonio, compresi i tag per il nostro sacchetti regalo, un segno del libro degli ospiti, un segno di una barra, e un segno di benvenuto (tutti personalizzati per abbinare gli stessi colori e caratteri della nostra suite di inviti). Sembra che quelle piccole cose siano ciĆ² che ha unito l'arredamento e lo fa sentire super completo. Dato che abbiamo avuto un piccolo matrimonio adiacente al COVID, ne abbiamo anche ordinati alcuni partecipazioni di matrimonio dopo che le nostre foto sono tornate, e custom thank you cards that match the whole set. Now to just write and send those darn thank you cards (Iāll be following these templates).
