Minted makes the holiday cards that make us swoon

We fell in love with Minted back when we first got wind of their holiday cards, all created by indie designers, many of whom happen to be talented stay-at-home moms. The customization process is a snap and the quality has never failed to make us say, "oohh..."

So when they asked if we'd pick a few of our favorites and share them with you this year, we were like, where do we start? Here, a brief holiday mini guide to help you find the card you had in mind anyway.

For families with a sense of humor
How can you not love Naughty is the New Nice? It just demands that photo of your kid with the upturned bowl of spaghetti over his head, or his sister in a headlock.

For Traditional Christmas revelers
I love the Merry Typography Card which feels like a modern classic to me. Like most of their cards you can order it flat, folded, or have it printed on recycled or pearlescent paper should you literally want your holiday cards to shine.

For families with a lot to say
Instead of a long braggy holiday letter, create a not-too-long, only semi-braggy minibooks which gives you room to say more than "happy holidays." This peace/love/joy design is especially elegant, whatever you celebrate.
