nursery clock invitation by marabouIt’s starting to feel like contest judging week at Cool Mom Picks. Which is fantastic, considering how much we like giving things away to deserving people. But this time, we need your help. And you can win stuff too.

One of our favorite sponsors, Minted (and a card shop we totally adore – so thanks for the sponsor love, guys!) is hosting a “Joyful Celebration” design contest for indie designers to create modern, cheerful, baby shower and baptism invitations. The winners get cash, the top ten will be sold on Minted, and we even get to pick a Cool Mom Picks judges’ fave for a $250 prize.

But man, there are a lot of great entries in this contest. So we need you to help us pick the winners.

Below are our top faves – we want you to email us with the invitation design you
think we should pick. We’ll draw two of you at random to win $50 worth of your own personalized cards!

In no particular order:
