Save the Date Challenge by Minted
If you haven’t been following Minted’s latest Design Challenge, you’ve been missing out! We’ve partnered up with the fab brand to do a Save the Date design challenge and have been blown away by the amazingness that the designers have come up with. And, it’s finally time to cast my vote and decide on the best Save the Date…but I need your help.
There are just SO many perfect designs, I simply can’t choose. Here are my top picks…
I am kind of in love with the stripes on the top right, and the swirls on the top left, but am being tempted by so many others! Some modern and some focused on charm, I am having SUCH a hard time choosing!
Which one do you like the best? Did I miss one that is even better than the gorgeous designs above?
I REALLY need some help with this! If you would just pick one from above or head on over to the challenge on Minted and let me know YOUR favorite, I will be forever grateful!
I love the swirls on the top left. I want that design for my wedding! When I have one that is...
I also love the swirls, top left!
I ADORE the tree with the date and initials carved. Second place I think would be the swirls, top left.
The beach and tree ones are my favorite!

Love the Carved Tree!!!
I love the yellow and white one for Mark and Brittany! It has a special quality to it!
Swirls, top left, is my first choice but I really like the bottom right one too, Fall In Love. It is just so different!
I love the carved tree - but I'm a tree nerd.
Tough decision - good luck! :)
I think there is a special charm to the initials carved into the tree, so that is my first choice. I think the swirls at the top left are a close second.
Fall in Love and the Tree. Both are cute. But I think the tree should be more informal with the date, which is why I also chose the Fall in Love. ALL ARE SOOOO CUTE!
I too love the top left design. I think it is the perfect blend of romance and elegance, while suggesting a bit of whimsy. If I were a save the date.. this is what I would want to look like.
I love the beach shot. This really shows the personality of the couple. Anyone who received this save the date would be SO excited for the party!
I love the beach shot of you two! It is so personal and fun!
I love LOVE the Fall Stylized Leaves Save the Date Cards on the Minted contest webpage. and I'm kind of crazy about the Falling In Love one.... Good Luck!
I like the tree with the swirls but a close second is the yellow save the date. Something about it seems very modern & cool.
I love the tree - so charming! My second choice would be tied between the swirled upper top left and the lilac & navy diagonal striped which is so classic yet modern.
I actually really like the first one...

I love the tree also. It reminds me of young love... simple, romantic, yet whimsical.
Definitely love the tree with the initials etched in.. and I love the Falling in Love one.. SO cute!!!
I love the tree with the etched initials as well....never seen that before!
Love, love the tree one!
The carved tree is definitely my favorite! We're trying to incorporate a nature theme in our wedding, so I just may need my graphic designer of a fiance to design something similar!
I want those invites with the initials carved in the tree! Where do I order?!?!?! Perfect for our wedding up at my old sleepaway camp next year!

i love the swirls (the very first one) and the purple and blue striped one.
The carved intials in the tree makes me want to go back and use that for my wedding...shucks. Too cute!!! Second is the beach shot...I agree, seems like it would be one heck of a fun wedding.
I love the tree + initials one! I think it's absolutely adorable.
Top left one or the initials in the tree one get my votes. One is classic and the other is quirky, but both are perfection!
I love the swirls in the top left corner too, and also the carved tree one - just like everyone else here!
But my personal favorite is the one with the purple diagonal stripes "first comes love." That would go perfect with my own color palette :D
I really, really like the yellow card.
I like the purple striped one. The color pallate is great as well as the elegant font!
i LOVE the purple and blue striped one!! very classic!
I love the "love " card with the purple and navy stripes.
Swirls on the top left- I'm in love!
love the all yellow and the scrolly blue above it.
"Falling in Love" is adorable! So whimsical and playful with the upside down lettering! But, truth be told, I'd still probably go with the the tree if I had to choose... good luck!
The swirls top left are so classy :) But I love the tree bark (middle right) - it reminds me of camp and simple things and high school sweethearts! If that described me & my hubby, I'd be all over it.
I vote for the Fall in Love falling letters design. I think it is so different, simple, and elegant!!!!
Well Done, Mr./Ms Designer!
I love the purple and blue striped one. So preppy!
The 'Fall in Love' by far. So clever and cute!
I love the purple and blue striped one! It is very classy.
The purple and blue card would be my pick. Love the modern elegance of the design, and great combination of colors. Good luck!!
The standouts: carved tree (so charming!), fall in love (simple yet unusual use of space), jumping couple (so fun! as a guest i'd be so pumped if i got a save the date with so much enthusiasm!)
not to accuse anyone of anything, but i feel like the squirrels are a total rip-off of the stuff enormous champion has done.

i love everything in the top photo set (although the calligraphy one might be made cooler by the other stuff in the set). the wood one is only OK.
i also love the falling in love one in the second set.
Bottom right corner, "Fall in Love" with the letters in Love literally falling. It's irresistible. Romantic, clever, charming... it caught my eye above all the others.
So many great designs, they are all so different. Love the curved polka dot design on the top.
My favourite is definitely the tree carving one, it is creative, natural and beautiful. Though I like the last design as well- the falling 'Fall In Love' is just so clever. It really is hard to choose!
top left swirls FOR SURE!
I like the one with 'first comes love' -- says it all! very classy!
I love balance between the illustration of the initials carved in the tree and the sophisticated type. Very well done!
The tree one is SOO cute. It's such a classic way to talk about love!
I LOVE THE TREE ONE! ADORABLE!!!
The tree carving one is so cute!! It's my favorite, hands down.
I love the "LOVE" one with the purple and blue stripes!! It's classy and elegant and the message is so sweet!
The purple one is perfect!! I love the playful language coupled with the sweet/chic design
I like the purple stripes, it's sleek and sophisticated.
I vote for the purple stripes, too! I just love the typography!
I really like the purple stripes. It is a lovely romantic design. Well done!!!!!!
I really like the yellow save the date entry! It really is a mix of classy and fun! I love the color and the design within the yellow/gold. My favorite by far! Great job!!!
The yellow one is my favorite! It catches the eye and holds you. I receive a lot of these, and quite frankly, most are too trendy. This will be something that you will be proud of "down the road."
The tree one for sure!! LOVE, love it!!!
The yellow card is the best in my opinion. I love the pattern and choice of fonts. This one is classic and timeless!
I love the tree and the squirrel designs!
My choice is the LOVE one with the blue stripes. Very classy and sweet.
I LOVE the yellow design. The selection of fonts is a beautiful addition to the classic color pallet. This design could be used for all seasons and from formal to casual occasions.
I love the yellow entry! The design is unusual but still timeless. Plus, the color and texture are so fresh... so current. What more could a girl want?
My favorite is the yellow one. It's simple sophistication. The color stands out beautifully, and it is really something as a guest, I would want posted on my refrigerator as a pretty reminder for the big day!
Please, please choose the tree carving one...or at least tell me where I can purchase them for my own save the date. I've not come across something so adorable, and it's exactly the whimsical, cute and romantic look I was going for!
