We’ve had babies on the brain around here lately for some reason. Maybe it has a little something to do with spring coming–and how soon we’ll be seeing more of those cute little baby toes peeking out from their stroller blankets. So we had the best time checking out all the new Minted birth announcements, cards, artwork and baby gifts, seeing as how they’re one of our favorite stationers–and one of our favorite longtime sponsors. (Thanks, Minted!)

It’s always so fun to see what designs their independent artists from around the world are coming up with next.  And the best part is, everything for babies and kids is now 15% off during their Spring Baby & Kids event including their brand new 2014 birth announcements. So we went through the site and picked just a few of our favorites on sale, that we think you’ll like too.

 

Birth Announcements on Sale
Minted’s foil-press collection of birth announcements just got bigger, and we’re suckers for the gold and silver sparkle. Plus you can add a custom backer to any announcements for more photos and a longer message–because we know that new parents have a lot to say.

But whatever your party theme, we’re pretty sure you’ll find cool here. Or hey, maybe they’ll give you an idea for a party theme in the first place.

You can never have too much stationery or too many thank-you cards when you have kids, and we think the variety at Minted is pretty fantastic. Stock up, and it makes writing post-party thank you notes a whole lot easier. Plus it really shows your appreciation to send a custom card this special, and not just something off the rack.
