8 Holiday Card Ideas for Newlyweds - Hill City Bride Virginia Wedding Blog - Christmas - New Year's

Before we get started, I did want to mention a few things.  These holiday card ideas are customizable in so many ways. Here are a few of the ways below.

  • If you have a certain color scheme you are going for, many of these cards offer different color options, especially when it comes to fonts.
  • The back of the cards are up to you! Whether you’d like to choose one of their backgrounds and/or add text or photos, the choice is yours.
  • I’m a big fan of a flat card, but if you like the traditional foldover card, that is an option.
  • You can choose the SIZE of your card. Whether you’d like a postcard, petite or regular size Christmas card, the decision is up to you.
  • Also available are envelope liners and return address labels. It’s so fun to have a well coordinated holiday card set!
  • As a bonus, you can get FREE recipient addressing on all cards to save time – so needed around the holidays!
  • Minted also allows proofing, extra envelope purchases (to cover for handwriting mistakes!)
  • Other features include being able to text Minted your photo (amazing!) and having one of their specialists create a card. Their “find it fast” feature also allows you to upload one photo and see it in every holiday card design at once. And, best of all, if you don’t have a photo yet, you can buy your cards now and personalize them later. How great!

Plus, I can personally vouch for Minted’s quality as I’ve used them many times for cards and stationery.

Now on to our holiday card ideas for newlyweds!

Here’s another card that features a full horizontal image to show the recipients that you are indeed married and merry.
