If you're planning a wedding, one of the first things you'll do is send out your invites. It can be a daunting task—there are so many options out there! Fortunately, Brides has teamed with our favorite wedding paper site, Minted, to create an exclusive stationery collection that can be used for every type of wedding event.
With 60 designs to choose from, the Minted + Brides collection offers something for every couple—think watercolors, ornate botanicals, sleek typefaces, and more—featuring four distinct, on-trend styles. Choose from graphic, modern fonts for a sophisticated urban wedding; romantic, floral designs for a garden-party vibe; bohemian-inspired looks for a more laid-back celebration; and natural designs for a fresh, yet refined look that works with a range of different wedding styles.
Each invitation suite can be customized with all your wedding details and color palette, and there's an option to include coordinating thank you notes and other must-have stationery items. It makes the whole wedding planning process that much easier, so you'll have more time to tackle all the other things on your to-do list (including adding in some much-needed time for relaxation!).
Read on for Brides editor's favorite invitations from the collection.

"With beautiful brushstrokes like an Impressionist painting, this stunning invitation brings spring florals to your guests in an artistic way. While you can customize the design with your choice of color palette and foil, I personally love a clean white background and rose gold foil to let the design shine." –Shelby Wax, Senior Editor
"This design perfectly paints that feeling of spring romance for me. The various hues of pink and red—the colors of love—remind me of the cherry blossom trees in Central Park. Those beautiful blooms signal the beginning of spring in the city. Symbolically a time for rebirth and renewal, it's the ideal season to say 'I do.'" -Erika Reals, Associate Editor, Commerce

"You don't always need florals for spring. Sometimes it's all about the color and design like this minimal, but fresh, orchid color invitation. The sweet pastel pink is a lovely choice for spring (and summer) wedding announcements." –Corinne Pierre-Louis, Editor

"I'm obsessed with the muted, two-toned palette and simplicity of design on this invite. The natural elements make it perfect for a spring or summer wedding, and the touch of gold against the rose quartz background (my favorite color combo) evokes an Italian renaissance painting or a Florentine chapel." –Kate Donovan, Senior Editor, Commerce
