When searching for watercolor wedding invitations online, many couples come across both Do Tell A Belle and Minted. While both offer beautiful designs, they serve very different needs—and understanding that difference can help you choose the right fit for your wedding.

Victoria Grigaliunas is a watercolor artist with Do Tell A Belle located in South Florida.

Minted: Beautiful Templates with Flexible Customization

Minted is a well-known online marketplace offering a wide range of wedding invitation templates created by independent artists. Their platform allows couples to:

  • Choose from hundreds of pre-designed watercolor styles
  • Customize wording, colors, and layouts
  • Select from various paper types and finishes

For couples looking for a streamlined process and a polished design at a moderate price point, Minted is a convenient and reliable option.

However, it’s important to note: Minted invitations are template-based, meaning the artwork itself is not created specifically for your wedding or venue.

Do Tell A Belle: Custom Watercolor Invitations Designed by an Artist

Do Tell A Belle offers a completely different experience—one centered around original artwork and personalized design.

Each suite is created by watercolor artist Victoria Grigaliunas and can include:

  • Hand-painted watercolor venue illustrations
  • Custom color palettes tailored to your wedding aesthetic
  • Coordinated suites including invitations, RSVP cards, details cards, and envelope liners
  • A collaborative design process with direct communication

This approach is ideal for couples who want:

  • Invitations that feel like a one-of-a-kind piece of art
  • A design that reflects their exact venue, story, and style
  • A more elevated, bespoke wedding stationery experience

The Key Difference: Template vs Original Artwork

The biggest distinction comes down to how your invitations are created:

  • Do Tell A Belle = original watercolor artwork created specifically for your wedding
  • Minted = professionally designed templates customized for your details

Neither is “better” in every situation—but they serve very different priorities.

  • Want custom watercolor venue wedding invitations
  • Value original artwork and a personalized design experience

  • Are happy selecting from existing designs
