Minted. {Review and Giveaway}

*This post is sponsored by Minted.  All opinions represented belong to me.

Recently, I've been introduced to Minted - "a global community of independent graphic designers and an online store that prints and sells the best of their designs in the form of paper goods" (via Minted). I think that's a pretty neat concept, don't you? I've browsed through a few of their products, and I've been asked to review some of their new party decor designs for y'all today.  

This was particularly great timing, as we're in the process of planning Ethan's fourth birthday party.  Yes, fourth.  Excuse me for a minute while I wipe away a tear ... or two.

Minted currently has over fifty party decor themes to choose from, and they're easily organized by party type, holiday, theme, style, and color.  It took no time for me to locate "Superhero" in the sidebar and find these goodies...

Super Heroes

Each design has three options to choose from: unique party, perfect party, and dream party.  All options - or, suites, as they're called on the website - include neutral plates and napkins, and packages start around $65.

Once you click on your desired decor, the details of each suite - items and quantities - are clearly broken down.  Given that we have been in party planning mode, and I've been spending a little more time than usual looking at party decor, I think the prices listed are comparable to what you would find on Etsy or similar sites. 

I'll be honest and say that I don't completely love all the elements of the superhero design, and I wish there were other options to choose from.  These party decor packages are a new Minted product, though, so the choices can only increase from here! Plus, the items are also offered a la carte, so you could always pick and choose the elements you like the best.

Of course, I'm in birthday party mode, but there are many other party themes available! I'm a big fan of this one for a baby shower:

Urban Baby

...and I love the simplicity of this one for any celebration:

Colorful Balloons

What about you? What are you celebrating these days? Tell me all about it in the comments section of this post and I'll pick one commenter, at random, to receive $50 in online credit to Minted! Be sure to leave your first name and e-mail address so that I'll know how to contact you.

Good luck, and happy everything!
