DETAILS ON OUR DELUXE CUSTOM PHOTO CALENDARS
When examining the overall style of these personalized calendars, Minted crafted them bearing in mind quality, creativity, and excellence of design. For instance, the viewer is immediately greeted with a featured cover photo page and personalized text. As an added layer of luxury, our picture calendars are printed on Minted’s exclusive Signature Cover Paper, which consists of a cotton texture that is usually reserved for fine stationery and makes turning every month’s page that much more enjoyable. These high-quality pages come with rounded edges, creating a modern and sleek look.
In addition, spiral binding formatting at the top makes for easy page-turning, and recipients will delight in seeing that each month can be customized with one or multiple handpicked photos. Putting together a custom calendar can be as fun as receiving one! Create an option that is the perfect size for your recipient and toggle between unique color themes that suit your style and theirs. Display months and dates in colors such as mint, canary, and melon to name a few. Personalize the overall appearance with a color theme that matches their school colors, the color of their room, or pairs nicely with the pictures you showcase on the pages.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CUSTOM CALENDAR
Minted makes it fun and easy to create your own personalized design in 30 minutes or less! Through this quick and easy process, your professional-looking photo calendar will come to life so you can share your photos and memories with your loved ones. If you decide to step away from your design before hitting “submit,” you can save the progress on your design and return to it in the future to add your finishing touches. It’s important to note that throughout the whole process, you can edit all photos and text. Here is how to create a picture calendar in five easy steps:
- Step 1: Pick a design - Scroll through all of the designs (you can go page by page or “View All”), or use our easy filter option in the top left corner. You can also filter by the number of photos you want on the cover, the colors you may want to use, and a variety of styles.
- Step 2: Pick a size option - What option works best for your recipient? Minted offers two sizes: the Grand (11.5” x 14”), which is perfect as a photo wall calendar, and Standard (8” x 11.5”), which is great for a desktop, dresser, or shelf. The smaller option may be better suited for a workspace or office desk.
- Step 3: Personalize the cover - Select a photo you want people to see first. Easily upload your personal image and even apply a few filters such as black and white or sepia. Further customize the text on the cover to highlight a family or team name (or any other creative verbiage!) and lastly, select the year you wish to display on the cover as well.
- Step 4: Select the month - While most calendars start with December or January, we let you decide what month you’d like to start on. You’ll see the option to select the month at the top of the page.
- Step 5: Customize each month’s page - There are 12 months to edit and you can customize the photo layout on each page to feature one, two, or three images. We encourage you to include special days for each month too – be creative! Aside from the standard holidays, include things such as relatives’ birthdays, important game days for a sports lover, or the upcoming wedding of someone you care about.
PERSONALIZED PHOTO CALENDARS MAKE THE PERFECT GIFT
Photos play an important role in all of our lives. They connect us to great memories of the past, the people we love, and the way they make us feel. Because of this, creating a calendar gift is a thoughtful way to share some love with the gift recipient. Our photo calendars are a great gift idea for many scenarios, including:
- Holidays/New Years: Create a custom present for a loved one or the whole family. Make a thoughtful gift for a Secret Santa gift exchange or office colleague. Starting off a new year typically means everyone needs a new calendar, and why shouldn’t it be a personalized one?
- 1st Wedding Anniversary: The theme for a first anniversary is “paper”. Gift your spouse a custom calendar with images from your wedding, honeymoon, date nights, and more. Highlight specials dates like your first date, day of engagement, and wedding date. To add another layer of thoughtfulness, consider having your vows printed through Minted’s Wedding Vows Art collection.
- Mother’s Day/Father’s Day: Creatively featuring family memories will make mom or dad so happy. You can also highlight dates important to him or her and even help them remember dates they may forget. They will be proud to display their special gift at home or work.
- Graduation: Create a personalized calendar that starts with the month after the graduate picks up that diploma. Highlighting images from their time in school can help motivate them as they move toward the future and stay organized in the next chapter of their life.
- Family Milestones: Design a personalized wall calendar themed on what is happening in your family’s life. Put those photos of exciting trips, a baby’s first steps, or moving into a new home to use! They are all memories that your family and friends will love helping you celebrate throughout the coming year.
To add an additional special touch, consider ordering an accompanying piece of Minted’s fine art that will go perfectly on the wall or desk next to the personalized calendar.
