Petit Papel Giveaway


Petit Papel specializes in custom invitations and stationery for the children in your life. Their specialty stationery items include personalized stationery, calling cards, bag tags, name stickers and "bookbag buddies" (larger bag tags for bookbags and luggage). They can even be customized for your furry children! Below are a few examples but be sure to check out the facebook page to see all of the adorable creations. One of my favorite things about this company is their ability to work together with you to create your ideal product. I’m throwing a bunch of wedding showers this year but that means in the near future I’m sure I’ll need some of the darling baby shower invitations!


Petit Papel is giving away an awesome package full of their goodies to one lucky Coupon Kitchen reader. The package includes a set of 10 custom birthday invitations, a set of favor tags, a set of 12 personalized thank you cards, and a two-sided bag tag…all valued at almost $40! You have until April 16th at 5:00 pm to enter. I’ll randomly pick a winner to be announced the following day on the blog. Good luck!



HOW TO ENTER: 
MANDATORY ENTRY: Leave a comment below and tell me which Petit Papel product is your favorite (I’m a fan of the beach notecards) or an idea you would want to custom-create. Be sure to leave your email address so I may contact you if you’re the winner.

ADDITIONAL ENTRIES: (please leave one comment telling me what you did)
