If wedding planning has taught us anything, it’s that every detail matters. And for 2026 brides-to-be, the first official detail — your Save the Date — is more than just a heads-up. It’s your first chance to make a statement. A chance to set the tone, share your joy and give loved ones a glimpse of the celebration to come.

Enter: Minted’s all-new Save the Date collection for 2026, a drop that’s been eagerly anticipated by couples, wedding planners and stationery enthusiasts alike. And, let me tell you — it was worth the wait. Thoughtfully crafted, artfully designed and infused with personality, this new collection isn’t just paper. It’s storytelling.

As a recent bride who got married two weeks ago, I can tell you one thing: your vendors matter. What sets Minted apart, and what has kept it a staple in the wedding stationery world for over a decade, is its unwavering commitment to artistry. Unlike mass-market templates, every Save the Date design in the 2026 collection is created by an independent artist, part of Minted’s global community of talented creatives.

That means each card you browse has a name behind it, a story, and a vision. Whether you’re drawn to minimalist typographic layouts or intricate, hand-painted florals, you’ll find something that feels tailor-made. From delicate watercolor landscapes to bold graphic motifs and modern photo-forward designs, the variety in this collection reflects the full spectrum of today’s couples — and their love stories.

More than ever, brides and grooms are choosing to celebrate their individuality, and Minted’s platform gives those personal stories the artistic space they deserve.

One of the standout features of the 2026 collection is just how customizable it is. Every Save the Date can be tailored to your vision. Want to feature your favorite engagement photo front and center? There’s a design for that. Dreaming of a bespoke crest that nods to your venue, heritage, or initials? Minted has it covered.

The customization process is intuitive but powerful, allowing you to tweak fonts, color palettes and layouts so your Save the Date feels like a true extension of your event. And, if you want help going the extra mile? Minted offers the option to work directly with a designer for free custom edits. The result: a suite that feels anything but off-the-shelf.

Because let’s be honest: your wedding isn’t just another event. And your stationery shouldn’t feel like it could belong to anyone else.

Of course, beauty means nothing if it doesn’t hold up in your guests’ hands. Minted’s dedication to quality craftsmanship is clear in every tactile detail.

Cards are printed on luxurious, thick cardstock, with a choice of finishes — from smooth and matte to soft-touch or pearlescent shimmer. Whether you’re opting for digital printing, letterpress, foil-stamping or even embossed elements, the level of finish is consistently high-end.

And if you’re wondering whether the physical experience of opening a Save the Date still matters in our digital world, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, in 2026, it might matter more. The pandemic-era shift to virtual everything made us all appreciate tangible gestures more deeply. A beautifully printed card, thoughtfully designed and delivered in a matching envelope with your names in elegant script; it’s a moment of joy for your guests, a keepsake for your memory box and a powerful symbol of what’s to come.

The 2026 wedding season may feel like it’s a ways off, but the most organized couples are already checking things off their list — and for good reason. Between securing venues, photographers and coordinating travel-heavy guest lists, early Save the Dates are becoming the norm.

This latest collection from Minted is designed specifically with 2026 brides (and grooms!) in mind. That means plenty of room for custom timelines, seasonal themes and design elements that speak to modern trends without feeling trendy.

Are you planning a spring garden party wedding in Charleston? There are botanical illustrations and pastel palettes galore. Going for a chic black-tie affair in Manhattan? Think dramatic typography, foil detailing, and rich color blocking. From boho desert weddings to elegant European destination affairs, Minted’s newest drop is a style chameleon — and all the better for it.

Minted’s new collection is simply stunning. It captures the magic of the moment; not just the announcement, but the emotions behind it. The excitement. The love. The anticipation of bringing everyone together.

And with options to build a full suite (think: matching wedding websites, invitations, programs, menus and even thank-you cards), Minted helps you create a visual language that carries through the entire wedding journey.

Planning early doesn’t just give you peace of mind. It can also save you money, which is crucial when in the thick of wedding planning. Minted is offering an exclusive discount for early 2026 couples: Use promo code SAVETHEDATE50 to get 50% off Save the Date cards. But, don’t procrastinate—it expires on Dec. 31.

Whether you’re ordering 50 or 500 cards, that kind of discount makes it easier to splurge on those luxe finishing touches. Add custom envelopes, monograms or even Minted’s free address printing service (a lifesaver, trust us), and you’ve got yourself a polished, premium experience — without the premium price tag.

2026 brides, your moment is arriving. And with it, the tools to craft a wedding that feels uniquely yours. While the dress, the venue and the flowers will all come in time, your Save the Date is the first spark. The first glimpse. The first keepsake.

With Minted’s newest collection, that spark becomes something beautiful, tangible and deeply personal.

So go ahead: take that engagement photo. Dream up your color palette. Scroll through the designs and pick the one that makes you smile. Then send it out into the world, knowing it’s not just a card — it’s the beginning of your forever.
