When you have a new baby, you want to shout from the rooftops and show your baby off to the world. After all, it’s such an amazing thing you’ve just done, and look how cute that baby is! However, tiny babies are best kept away from the masses for a while until their little immune systems get stronger. So what better way to share them with the world than a beautiful birth announcement?
Our friends at Minted, known for their gorgeous paper goods, have created a lovely new line of specialty shaped birth announcements, and they are giving away 100 shaped birth announcements to two of our readers to send out to your near and dear!
Available in nine shapes—tag, wave, scallop, dotted scallop and classic and curved shapes—and many amazing designs, you’re sure to find the perfect combination to frame your little sweetie’s adorable face.
The designs are sourced from Minted’s large community of indie designers—with over 400 designs to choose from! Minted is committed to helping support and launch the careers of these designers, so the designer receives a percentage each time their design is sold.
All designs are printed on the thickest, most luxurious paper in the market. You will not be disappointment by the amazing craftsmanship of these cards.
WIN IT! Two Project Nursery readers will each win 100 Minted shaped birth announcements of their choice (each set a $200 value).
HOW TO ENTER: Visit Minted, and let us know which is your favorite Minted birth announcement design. Contest ends Friday, August 10th, 2012 at 11:59 PDT. Winner chosen by random number generator.
