I got an email last week from Kelly at Minted, introducing me to their brand-new online stationery store, and couldn’t wait to share it with you. Minted.com will offer custom wedding invitations and stationery from a great lineup of independent brands. Among them are some of my favorites, including Paper + Cup, Egg Press, and Mr. Boddington’s Studio.
Minted.com is so new that the online store hasn’t launched yet (should happen this month) but in the meantime, they’re holding a design challenge. Through April 9, you can design a save-the-date card for one of the three real-life couples Minted.com has selected from Wedding Bee. Your creative save-the-date must include a personal photo as well as wedding details.
The three lucky couples are:
Yvonne + Rene November 2008 Wedding
Holly + Dustin June 2008 Wedding
Laurice + Alex June 2008 Wedding
More information about each couple, including their personal design inspirations as well as a short narrative, can be found here.
Feeling inspired? Please click here to read the submission instructions. Good luck to all who enter! I’m looking forward to seeing the winning entry (the top five will be featured and sold!), as well as Minted.com’s full site launch. Beautiful paper goods I can visit online? I am sooooo there.

I ordered invitations from Minted.com for our destination wedding in Siena, Italy in September. The letterpress invitations came out beautifully and were apropriate for our guests in the US and Europe. They had special touches like florentine paper as envelope liners. I was really happy with the end result.
