    I LOVE the Ce Soir wedding invitaitions. I have been coveting them for a while now…

  9. SO MANY of these invitations are ADORABLE! The Oak tree, banner and branches, fireflies, love birds, pear nouveau…. wow is all I can say. I think my favorite is the whimsical tree though!

  10. Kate W writes... {January 24, 2012 at 3:26 pm}

    I am crazy about Midnight Vineyard – they are EXACTLY what I have been looking for!

  11. Oh goodness… I am pretty much in love with the “Maine Event” save the date!! It speaks deeply to my inner pun-lover. These would be PERFECT for our welcome dinner, which will be a seafood fest at our favorite local lobster shack the day before our Connecticut wedding!

    P.S. If I have to choose a wedding invitation, as you asked, I would definitely go with the Midnight Vineyard. Love that design! :)

  15. Bev writes... {January 24, 2012 at 4:19 pm}

    My fiance has not had a solid opinion about anything during the wedding planning process UNTIL I started showing him Save the Date options. He thought all were “nice” until I showed him Minted’s Simply See Through Save the Date Cards…he loved how the text and photo worked together in such a unique way! I would order these in a heartbeat

  16. Leslie writes... {January 24, 2012 at 5:16 pm}

    I love either the “banners and branches” or “simple olive” suites for our garden wedding. So many clean, fresh styles to choose from!

  20. Lindsey writes... {January 24, 2012 at 7:01 pm}

    LOVE the just my font… and the little books… and… ALL OF THEM!!! We are doing a classic/romantic/victorian theme :)

  21. My friend ordered business cards from Minted and they looked great! So I know the invites will look even better. We’re having a destination wedding so Board on Our Journey of Love Wedding Invitations will suit us just fine.

  22. I would love to win this for my brother and his fiance! The pear nouveau Wedding Invitations totally go along with there yellow and silver theme.

  23. Oh man. Wrong use of “there”. Blasphemy.

  24. I like the St. Helena AND the happy couple AND the 2 of hearts. So hard to choose!

    The monogram hankie wedding invitations would be perfect for our vintage inspired wedding!

  30. I’m the queen of corny and I just love the combination of a corny photo with the modern green design in the “modern green save the date”. The colors are perfect for my fall wedding in the woods in Vermont!

  31. Absolutely love the “Fireflies Wedding Invitations.” Eggplant Purple + Fireflies + Mason Jars + Pure Perfection.

    We just started browsing for bridal shower and rehearsal dinner invites on Minted! I ordered both our save the dates and invites from Minted already :-) My favorite stationary!!

  34. The Fling wedding invitations are breathtaking–I adore the floral details! :-) Btw, your blog design is so cute! The color palette makes me wish it was Spring already.

  35. Ashley writes... {January 25, 2012 at 6:56 pm}

    I am absolutely in love with the Oak Tree line. I really really like the save the dates. They fit the theme of my wedding perfectly. I have been putting off purchasing them though…

  36. Tara Miller writes... {January 25, 2012 at 7:07 pm}

    I love, love, LOVE the Script Monogram Wedding Invitations. It is simple and sophisticated.

  37. Trudy Brunot writes... {January 25, 2012 at 8:28 pm}

    “Orange Blossoms”! My significant other comes from Spain, where orange blossoms are the most popular wedding flower. My color scheme is navy, making this invitation set perfect. And, we can have it printed in English on one side, Spanish on the other without interfering with the elegant design. I searched for days to find something that featured orange blossoms and would reflect the elegance I want our small, intimate day to have. I was so excited to find Minted! Even more excited to find Hello Hailey’s design.

  38. LaDonna writes... {January 25, 2012 at 8:30 pm}

    The quilted wedding invitations are so unique and beautiful.

  39. Marlys writes... {January 25, 2012 at 9:13 pm}

  40. I love the “Happy Couple” design. We’re getting married in April 2013 so this would be so wonderful!!!

  41. Melanie writes... {January 26, 2012 at 1:38 pm}

    I love Minted! Our Flourish save the dates are perfect and now all we need are the Winter Flourish invites to go along with them. The romantic script is perfect to reflect the romance of our big day.

  42. Danielle H writes... {January 26, 2012 at 1:51 pm}

    The Rustic Queen Anne invitation is amazing! Our wedding is outdoors at an equestrian center and the colors tie it in perfectly!

    When I first saw the fireflies wedding invitation…I fell in LOVE! I am having a Fall themed wedding centered around wood slabs & mason jars. The mason jar on the invitation is absolutely darling!! Plus the color is so fall-ish..love everything about this invitation!! :)

  67. Mary Byenkya writes... {January 26, 2012 at 8:55 pm}

    The ‘whirly dot’ wedding invitation is my favourite because it reminds me of my mother. If she had a ‘colour’ that would be it. With our wedding back home in Uganda, a country filled with colour, this will capture the essence of our wedding as bright and colourful. It will also be a private way for me to pay homage to her.

  68. Jenna writes... {January 26, 2012 at 9:06 pm}

    Love cocktail hour!

  69. The Ornamental Wedding Invitation is the one for us!!!

  76. Susanna writes... {January 26, 2012 at 11:06 pm}

  94. Hello! I love stationary! And this is a great website! I love the classic and elegant look to strong stationary. Just My Type Wedding Inviaiton collection is ALL about me style! I love the boldness of the names, and also the classic, fancy, but read-able font!

  96. The White Lace is absolute perfection! So lovely!

  97. Lindsey Taylor writes... {January 27, 2012 at 10:48 am}

    It was so hard to choose, there are so many wonderful prints and patters. It is so inspiring to see all the invitations. I must say that I absolutely love “simply stripes”. Your guest can see your love through a photography of the bride and groom. I can’t wait to have my engagement photos done in March so I can use these ideas. I really wish that I had a blog so that I could be entered twice!! Thanks so much for this contest!!
