Giveaway from Did Someone Say Party?

(Giveaway closed . . . thanks for entering!)

Heads up, friends. Get ready for some exciting stuff. I have a fantastic giveaway for you today! I recently met (internet met . . . I wish it was real life met!) Gretchen and Heather, the masterminds behind a brilliant new shop and blog called Did Someone Say Party?

 With my little Forrest's 1st birthday approaching swiftly (what is going on? why is he growing up so dang fast?!), I've had parties on the brain and am always so inspired by the gorgeous, elaborate parties you see featured online. But that looks like a ton of work and I have no idea where to begin.

Heather and Gretchen to the rescue! I'll let them take it away and tell you about their incredible shop and fantastic party planning!

Thank you so much, Rachel, for inviting us to Maybe Matilda.  We are absolutely thrilled to be here today! You are constantly inspiring us with your amazing designs!

Let’s start with a little introduction. Our names are Gretchen and Heather and we are two working moms and long-time friends who created Did Someone Say Party? in an attempt to help bring "handmade" back into parties. We will use any excuse to throw a party, but we know that convenience also needs to be a big element of the party equation in today's busy household.

Our blog is a forum for easy handmade ideas and unique touches for celebrations big and small. You can often find us drooling over delicious party-perfect recipes and admiring amazing crafty projects, as well as offering our own tutorials and recipes.

Our etsy shop is designed to be your go-to resource for handmade goods to simplify any celebration. You can create a custom party pack by selecting what you need - from invitations and thank you cards to party hats, banners, serving items and favors. You’ll find coordinating product links within our product listings to help take the mystery out of making a fully coordinated party.

We have created a variety of designs to complement any occasion, including birthday parties, bridal or baby showers, and other themed events including holiday celebrations.  We believe in providing convenient solutions so that hosts and guests can relax and enjoy the party . . . because good company, good food and good times are what it is all about!

Today we are thrilled to offer a giveaway to Maybe Matilda readers! One lucky winner will receive their choice of any of our Handmade Party Hats or our Handmade Serving Item sets, which include Cupcake Wrappers, Cupcake Toppers and Straw Toppers for eight!

The winner will have the opportunity to pick any product in either of these sections of our shop (click here and here to check out the eligible items). Although anyone can enter, we will only be able to offer free shipping to those within the United States.

(Okay, this is Rachel again . . . do you love this shop or do you love this shop?! What an amazing service for those of us whose birthday parties would otherwise consist of a funfetti cake and, if we're feeling particularly ambitious, maybe a couple saggy balloons. Go ahead, enter to win, and throw the birthday party your little one deserves!)
