Sending Out Snail Mail for Christmas

If you're anything like me, one of the best things in the world is getting cards and letters via snail-mail. This is especially true now that our lives are becoming more and more electronic. Cards used to be boring and emails were exciting, and now it's the other way around entirely.

Christmas time often yields a card or two, making an already-exciting holiday even more exciting. And now that Taylor and I are married (it's our second Christmas), I really want to send out cute, personalized Christmas cards. Any other newly-married couples with me on that?

As Black Friday approaches, I know there are going to be all sorts of ads for presents, gift wrap, recipe books, and Christmas cards. There are an umpti-bazillion (sure...that's a number) places you could turn to buy those cute cards, but one place I am loving is Minted. Minted has all sorts of holiday cards, post cards, stationary and gifts. They offer personalized cards and post cards with hundreds of styles and colors to chose from.

Minted is known for having unique designs made by independent artists, and being able to customize those looks to fit your own needs. Here are a few of my favorites for this Christmas:

I love this post card for it's simplicity. The color at the bottom gives it a Christmas feel without adding too much, you can add your own little note, and the script adds an elegant touch.

I absolutely adore the Christmas tree text. It's fun, a little quirky, but still not overdone. How cute would that be to send to your friends and family?

This Christmas card comes in several different colors and features Luke 2 as it's text. You can also add your personalized text at the bottom. If you are looking for a more blatantly Christian card, this one is a great choice.

One of my favorite Christmas songs is "O Holy Night", and my favorite color is purple, so I am loving this card. You can personalize the "Merry Christmas From:" at the bottom, and you also can personalize the back of the card. This comes in a few more colors if you don't love purple as much as I do.

Isn't this gorgeous?! I love the color combo and I love the word "Noel", which means "news" in French. I love that Christmas is all about bringing the news of hope to the world.
With this card you can chose from a few other colors (black, green, and red).

Though these were my top 5 cards at Minted, there are so many different options. I highly recommend checking them out. They have post cards, mini-post cards, foil-pressed cards, ornament cards, and more.  Use this link to check it all out!


I am getting really excited about sending out cards, putting up the Christmas tree with my hubby, baking cookies, and listening to LOTS of Christmas music.

What traditions do you have? Are you sending out cards this year?
