Hi Kimberly - thanks for the feedback on "A Modern Love!" Due to your suggestion along with the others I've received, I started a new poll with different color combination -- one of them with a black text on the pink background! The color combo definitely showcase the option for lighter color backgrounds with the use of a dark, more legible color text. Thank you so much for your time!

Hi Kimbery, thanks for your comment on my "there will be cake" save the date card. I thought about the dates on the top tier as well. My first thought was also,it could be shortened to sept., aug, etc. or, maybe use all numbers... I am brand new to a minted, do you know if there is a a way I could recommend that as an option??? Cheers, Megan

It still means a lot to me that you were the first to comment on my very first design and makes we wonder if all minties can recall who first encouraged them.
