’Tis the season…already??? It is if you’re planning on sending out custom holiday cards!

Mrs. Penguin here! Mr. Penguin and I spent yesterday taking our holiday card photos over at the Embarcadero in San Francisco. This year, I’m forgoing the complete DIY route (what a disastrous 40+ hours I wasted last year high on spray glue fumes) and instead, we’re choosing Minted holiday cards.

Minted and Weddingbee want to share the holiday joy with you! Minted is giving away THREE sets of 100 holiday cards, complete with all the fun bells and whistles: liners, backers, and skinny wrap address labels. Holiday cards at Minted this year aren’t simply cards: They’re HUGE holiday suites, all with coordinating options for extras that make your holiday cards stand out from the crowd. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the cards in person—the printing and paper is luxe, and the little extras (my fave are the custom skinny wrap labels!) are incredible.

Here are some options I’m considering (and you could win)!
