Minted STD's/invitations

Stacey, on November 15, 2017 at 8:57 AM Posted in Planning 0 17

Have any of you used Minted for STD's or custom invitations? I am thinking of using them because they can do custom illustrations and will have a designer work one on one with you throughout the process. I am looking to have a black and white illustration of our venue as part of the invitation. If you used them for this were you happy with the final product/price and process? If you used someone else for custom invitations, especially with illustrations I would love to hear about them and see pics!

    We have selected a design through them. Waiting a bit before actually making the purchase but everyone raves about them on here.

    While I didn't do anything custom through minted, I used them for my STDs and loved them. The envelope addressing made them look even more beautiful. The magnet was great quality and everyone that's received them had raved about them.

    While ordering I accidentally forgot to input one individuals address for the printing, and I emailed them and they sent me a ton of extra envelopes with the one extra address I forgot free of charge. Customer service was so nice they made my problem seem like it was their fault rather than my own

    I used Minted for my STDs. I think they are a little more expensive than some places, but I like that you can put in your addresses on the site, and they will address the envelopes. They have a lot of different designs, so we will probably use them for invites too.

    I didn't do anything custom with them, but we ordered our STD's, Invites, Place Cards and TY's from them. Highly recommended!

    I have not used them. But I have seen them quite often on the weekends where I work. They are so pretty and unique. At least the ones that I have seen. I am trying to attach some photos from a reception, but my computer is not being nice to me. Smiley smile

    So...newly engaged person here. hi. just started using this site.

    I work in an infectious disease lab and it took me a hot second to figure out that you all weren't discussing where you got your sexually transmitted diseases. I'm embarrassed. I apparently need to learn the lingo.

    I got my STDs from Minted & will be ordering my invite suites over Black Friday. Can't say enough good things about them. I ordered samples from several different sites & thought that the quality Minted offers as its basic paper & designs are much higher than other ones I received. I didn't do custom but the invites we chose didn't have a coordinated STD. I IMed with a customer rep who told me that their graphic designers can easily change around any text or design elements for me. Once I ordered it I received my proof within 24 hours & it was exactly what I requested it look like. No revisions needed. I got the prints within a week after I approved it. That said I'm not sure how their commission process works. I'd also check Etsy as there are a lot of freelance artists there as well who could create you something you could have printed via a different service if necessary

    I used minted for my invites and have had a great experience so far. First I ordered samples of the invites I loved then picked my favorite to personalize. They send you proofs to approve before printing and are so quick with your special requests. I got 100 invites, Insert cards, RSVPs and return addressed envelopes for just about $500. I don't think it's that bad at all.

    Yeo used them for our STDs and plan on using them for actual invites. They were awesome to work with. It felt like I barely did anything. I mean...I had to input all of my contacts which took a while but they have an option for just importing spreadsheets (I am somewhat computer illiterate and didn't want any mishaps so I just did it one by one). They came in 3 days. Seriously. I have gotten so many compliments on the STDs, some of my mom's friends have texted her saying they were the most gorgeous STDs they have gotten. People we barely know have them hanging on their fridge. Not a brag, but just saying how awesome Minted is. Also very quick customer service. You want an edit, you get it in like an hour.

    I have used them for Christmas cards in the past and loved them!! As an FYI, I ordered the STD and invite sample pack and one came with a 15% off code and the other with a 20% off code.. it looks like in years past they've done 20% off on Cyber Monday, so it's worth requesting the samples if you don't want to rush to have them ready for next week (like me!)

    My STDs and invites were both from Minted. They were pricey, but the designs were the best I've seen. Their customer service was also incredible. They have a 20% discount right now for new customers, and they have the option to purchase the design now (with the discount) and edit your details later.

    Thanks everyone! I am putting the finishing touches on them now and I am going to ask for proofs. The only thing that could put a damper on things is the envelopes. I want the addresses printed but since I am ordering early (to get the sales!) I don't have all of the addresses ready to go yet. I am hoping I can order them separately...fingers crossed!
