Our 2016 Family Photos and Holiday Cards with Minted

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Minted. As always, all opinions are my own.

Each year, we try our best to get family photos taken specifically for our annual Holiday cards. Not only that, but I’ll use just about any excuse to photograph my boys. I was really happy with how they turned out this year. You would never know Avery was throwing an epic tantrum moments before our photo shoot. There were so many great photos, it was so hard to narrow it down. Here are a few of my favorites.

So now you can see my dilemma with it being SO hard to choose our perfect holiday photo for our cards. Normally I would go with the perfectly posed photo. The one where we’re all smiling and looking at the camera. Sometimes I choose a collage of photos to share. However, this year I did something different. I went with the candid photo that represents us perfectly; and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

This photo is 100% us, which makes it all the more special to me. While it was technically an “outtake,” I just fell in love with it.

This year I partnered with Minted for our holiday cards. The quality of Minted’s cards, is far above the rest. They use the finest paper stocks, richest inks, and crisp printing methods.

Some people find the idea of designing their holiday cards overwhelming. Minted’s Find it Fast feature helps make the design process a breeze. Simply upload your photo, and watch it appear on hundreds of different card designs.

Minted also provides FREE custom envelopes, as well as FREE recipient address printing. I took full advantage of this feature, and I’m so glad I did. It seriously saved me SO much time…and my envelopes look incredible!

Although I blurred out the address, I want to make note that the font used was beyond gorgeous. I also love how the envelope perfectly coordinated with our rose gold Laughter & Love Foil-Pressed Holiday Card.

There’s still time to design your own holiday cards! I would highly suggest checking out Minted. With so many options, and the highest quality cards, you will wish you didn’t check them out sooner!
