📋 Get the Wedding Quick Start Guide!
If save the dates are sitting on your to do list, the Labor Day event at Minted is the moment to cross them off. Save the dates are 25 percent off and the rest of the site is 15 percent off, which stacks up to real money on a category most couples end up spending more on than they planned.
Save the dates are one of the sneakiest line items in a wedding budget. They feel small, because it is one card per household, and then you count the households and remember postage and suddenly it is a few hundred dollars for a piece of paper whose only job is to tell people to keep a Saturday free. Getting a quarter off the card cost is the kind of savings that quietly funds something else on your list.
What we like about Minted for this specific piece is that the designs come from independent artists rather than an in house template library, so the cards do not look like everyone else’s. Their foil pressed and letterpress options in particular look far more expensive than they cost, and because you are ordering during a sitewide sale you can spend a little on the finish and still land under what a plain card would have run you at full price.
The 15 percent off sitewide is where this gets genuinely useful beyond the save the dates. Invitations, day of stationery, menus, programs, escort cards, table numbers, signage, and thank you notes all fall under it. If you are close enough to your date to know your paper suite, ordering the whole thing in one pass during the sale beats trickling orders out across the next few months at full price. Minted also ships all fine art free year round, which is worth remembering for the wall art and photo pieces couples tend to buy after the wedding.
A practical note on timing: order a sample or two before you commit to the full run if you can. Paper weight and ink color read differently in hand than on a screen, and a five dollar sample is cheaper than a reprint. The sale runs September 1 through September 8, so there is a real window here rather than a same day scramble.
