Mommy Cards, deluxe

***WINNER PICKED 5/22 WITH RANDOM.ORG*** ***CONGRATULATIONS, PURANGO!!!***

who commented: swirls for sarah is my favorite style. I would use them to connect to other mothers at school and dance classes.


I've noticed a zillion "mommy cards" online in recent months but these, from the aptly-named Mommy Cards are certainly the most beautiful. The colors are lovely and the typography is well thought out, too– something that is lacking on many of the other mommy card brands I've seen. Imagine how sophisticated you'll look whipping one of these out at the park or preschool! (I wouldn't even mind dropping one of these in amongst all the "official" business cards…) They look so good, in fact, they might actually encourage you to get out there and meet new people. Offline.




To enter and win a set of 50 Mommy Cards in the lovely Swirls for Sarah style, please comment on this post with your favorite style of Mommy Cards and how you would use them.

Entries will be accepted through May 21st and I'll pick the winner using Random.org.

US/Canada readers are eligible. Only one entry/comment per person, please.


Make sure you leave an email address in your comment or that you have one accessible on your blog so you can be contacted if you win! Or, you may choose to check for your nickname at Prizey.Fetch, a new site that compiles winners in one convenient place:

Thanks! Amanda

EG said...

I like the "green branch" style best. This would be great when you run into someone and want to give them your contact info without digging through your purse & writing on a receipt while juggling child(ren)!

I really like the olivia brown design... I would definitely use them for work!

I love the blue branches! I would probably use them for my small buisness

Mommy said...

The Olivia Brown is just lovely. I would probably use them at Music class, or in our new neighborhood. We plan to move soon!

mrssmiff said...

Blue Branch...it's way easier to have these handy then to try and exchange numbers in your phone whil your child is eating/touching/licking something he shouldn't.

Marcia said...

I love the rose petal ones. I'd use them for when I'm out with my daughter and we just run into a mom with a child we seem to hit it off with but it's awkward to just be like 'can I have your number?'. This would be easier to say 'hey, if you want to set up a playdate give me a call or email'.

a! said...

I like the swirls for sarah and the green branch designs. I would use them exactly as they are intened...to pass on my info to other moms at the parks and playgroups. It's amazing how often it comes up!

michelle said...

Swirls for Sarah is cute. I would use them when meeting new mommies at the park.

CJW's folks said...

I like the blue branch, but it would be hard to choose!

Mary512 said...

I like the 'Swirls for Sarah' cards also. I would use them as call me cards to give out to other moms, but also as blog calling cards to give out when I have a giveaway, or just to spread the word about my blog. Great giveaway, thanks!

petit elefant said...

Olivia Brown is my absolute favorite. So sassy. I'd use them for Petit Elefant of course!

laura said...

My favorite design is the yellow branch - but they are all super cute!! I would actually gift them to a friend that has been helping me a TON lately with special projects. She would adore these and is super active with her kids. I can imagine her using them everywhere. laurachilton {at} hotmail {dot} com

All of the styles are very pretty but I LOVE the Indigo! I'd use them like business cards, since being a SAHM is my job!
Thanks for offering this!

Chic Shopper Chick said...

I love the Olivia Brown design. I meet a lot of mommies at Gymboree, and even though we get along in class, it seems hard to make the transition to outside of class. Maybe I can use these to start a conversation with them about the cards, and then try to set up a playdate! Thanks so much!

Becca said...

My favorite is Green Branch, but I also lovr Swirls for Sarah.

CPA Mom said...

Green Branch is my favorite.

How would I use them? I'd take YOUR advice: " They look so good, in fact, they might actually encourage you to get out there and meet new people. Offline."

Offline friends. What a concept.

Sundi said...

Swirls for Sarah is my favorite!

I just moved to a new town, so these would be great to use as I make new friends and new connections!

Jessie said...

It's a toss up - I really enjoy the blue branch one, but the swirly one is so unexpected...
I really need to get out of my house and meet people and with the huge baby boom in town right now - they would be perfect! I love them!

PS said...

I love the rose petal design. They would be so great for all those mommy's I meet at the park-its much more grown up to hand out a card, than scribble your name and number on a piece of scrap paper!

Debbie#3 said...

I'm going to be moving soon and these would be so cool. I like the Olivia Brown pattern, but these are lovely too.

Reiza said...

I like the Olivia Brown ones the best. I'd love to have these to hand out to people I meet around town. I often find myself running into old friends and this would be a great and easy way to pass along our new information.

claire said...

I like the Blue Branch design-so lovely. I've been seeing these cards everywhere, now, and just love them!

Wow. These are awesome. So beautiful. I like so many designs, but my fave is the olivia brown. I would totally use these when I want to give someone my info and don't want to write it on a napkin with a crayon!
thanks

Shannon said...

I'm the mom to a preemie and when I meet a mom and her baby/child that I really associate with these cards would be great to give out so we can get together for playdates and such. I love the green branch cards!
Thanks

Ooooohhh... I love the OLIVIA BROWN design! These Mommy Cards would come in really handy at the playground this summer! As the Assistant Coordinator of our local MOPS group, it'd be wonderful to quickly share my contact information with new moms!

Kari said...

Very cool and functional too! I like Olivia the best. Thanks!

Gray Matters said...

I like the blue branch. These would be great to have when people ask about my blog - instead of having to give them a long address I can just hand them a card. How grown-up!

Ginny said...

I've been wanting these & this site is my favorite of all of them. I'd pick the yellow branch, I love the note spot in the back, so pretty!

Missee22 said...

I like the blue branch. I could use them when I meet new moms at my 9 year olds school, or at the park with my 2 year old and 8 month old.

Sarah Berry said...

I like the olivia brown. I carry these in pocketbook for emergencies. You know when you run into an old friend, but have no pen or paper to exchange numbers again. Thanks great giveaway.

Uniquely Yours said...

The Olivia Brown design is my favorite. I would use them to meet new mommies and to advertise my business by leaving my web/blog address.

JoAnne Strezo said...

My favorite is the indigo style; I would use them when I meet new mom's to set up playdates.

thanks so much!!

Heather Heilman said...

I like the green branch the best. I'm on a big green kick lately for some reason. These would be great for when you drop your kids off for a play date or even if someone drops their kid off for a playdate. Much more fashionable than a sticky note.

Susanne said...

I love the "blue branch." I'd love to have some of these in my purse for when I meet a new mom at Chick-fil-A or somewhere...it would be so much better than giving them my phone/email on a napkin! :)

Chantelle said...

i would definitely hand them out to my children's teachers and new friends from the park for our play dates

Just yesterday I wished I had some MommyCards when I met a really interesting woman at the grocery store! I love all the cards but if I had to pick a favorite I would choose mocha!

Anonymous said...

My favorite is the Swirls for Sarah style. I would use them when my personal info was requested, rather than write it out. I'd also use it to give to new contacts.

Susan said...

Olivia Brown and Swirls for Sarah are so super adorable! I often meet other mommys at the park or at storytime. When I meet a mom whose kids seem to get along with mom, I would like to initiate a future playdate, but it's inevitable that I never have a pen or paper, so these would be perfect!!

littlelatina said...

It's definitely between Green branch and swirls for sarah. Very nice

Danielle said...

Ooh, I love the blue branch. These are all so pretty!

Scrappy Do said...

The green branch style is pretty _ I would love it!

I love the birds design! I'd use these cards at the park, the store...anywhere I run into other mommies.

Kristinia said...

I love the "birds" too cute, reminds me of myself with my children but as birds.. LOL

We are having a new baby and we are moving soon so I'd use the cards to write all my friends and family with the updates!

Jocelyn said...

I soooo need these mommy cards!
Please enter me, thanks. :)

Erica G said...

I like Swirls for Sarah. I am having my first at the end of June. These would really help out with the new mommy groups I will be in.

blueviolet said...

I like the indigo the most! I think they're especially handy for sharing email addresses. Such a great idea!

We just moved to a new state and don't know anybody. These would be great for making new friends. Love the "Swirls for Sarah."

I love the Green Branch cards! And, being a military wife, these would come in handy when I am at a unit function, meeting new people, and such. :) Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!

I love the blue branch card. What a great idea. Where have I been?

cdrury said...

Would love to win this - thanks!!!
the green branch would be perfect for my daughter in law when she moves back to the US from CAnada after the baby is born!

quitecontrary1977 said...

A stay-at-home mom can only eat so many peanut butter sandwiches before she has to find odd jobs for extra money! I need some mommy cards, like "robin", so I can pull some baby-watching and house cleaning gigs! Not to mention all the playdates I'm missing out on!

jodene said...

Great idea - I love the yellow branch cards. This would stop me from always looking for a pen and paper.

Jocelyn said...

I really love the Olivia Brown cards - they just look like my style. I would use them for all the times I am digging in my purse trying to find a pen to write down my contact info for another mom, a business associate, a friend, a new acquaintance. They would be awesome!

Anonymous said...

I would sooo use these! The Blue Branch is adorable... they would def. come in handy for me. I got laid off recently, and decided to stay home with my daughter, but setting up playdates with the kids at the park is so awkward, and their moms never call anyhow... at least this might make us stand out! emtmara@hotmail.com

Jennifer Schroeder said...

What a clever idea! The olivia brown is my favorite. I am awful at meeting other parents and exchanging information for playdates. Now that I am a stay-at-home mom, I really need to get better at it. These cards would help make it easier for me.

Sara DMS said...

Oh, I love all of the "branches": green branch, blue branch and yellow branch. Hmmm. I guess I'll decide when I win. :)
