{GIVEAWAY} Custom Shirt from Smitten & Company!

I'm so excited about this giveaway! I fell in love with Smitten & Company when I saw one of our client's son's wearing a personalized shirt. (Remember?) Ever since, I have had my eye on their shop for a couple months now. I would bet that most of you have seen/ heard of Tara, the owner of Smitten & Co, because people all over purchase her unique shirts for so many reasons! I have seen them in pictures all over the blog-o-sphere! She has almost every theme you could think of for a party. Tara designs and sells everything from burp cloths, bibs, dresses, long and short sleeved shirts, onesies, and the list goes on.

Look at some of the most stylish models (her daughter being one of them!) (Check out her blog for even more photos!)


If you know me (Maureen), I am all about coordinating EVERYTHING for a party (partyzilla, yes!) Shopping on Smitten & Company makes it easy to pick an adorable (and affordable!) quality shirt with a super stylish motif and name/monogram. I know my kids are going to love getting one for every fun occasion from now on! ;-)

I love Tara's style. You will see that lots of her shirts nicely pair with our designs in our shop. I think Tara and Adria and I would be 3 peas in a pod if we lived in the same area! Similar styles and the love of everything personalized/coordinated...

I can think of a million uses for her shirts!
- Sibling shirts
- Big brother, little brother shirts
- Birthday party shirts
- Shirts for a special trip (She has some adorable ones for Disney!)
- Gifts - baby, birthday, just because!
- Marathon support shirts!
- Family coordinating shirts
- Special occasion shirts
- .... the list goes on!

I think she has so many great designs. I can't wait to hear what everyone else loves. How adorable are these... (can you say "sweet celebration" matchup completely!?)


So, if you have ordered/plan on ordering our popular
gumball invitation (comes in all sorts of colorways!),
you HAVE to see how well her gumball motifs coordinate!

See her gumball designs!? So fun! These are my favorites, I think!

And lets throw in some cutie models....
Or even something chic and monogrammed like...

Oh, and check these cuties out.... It is hard to find cute boy stuff that is personalized (especially when you have a 5 year old and you still want to dress them in Jon Jons but your husband won't let you!)
Those coordinate so well with our invitations, too! We sell tons of train invitations... now we know where to tell our clients to head for their shirts!

Or the airplane boarding ticket invitations we have.. check out how CUTE these would be!
(can you tell I have boys?)

If you like the softer, but still boy tones, check out these beauties...
Oh, and the ice cream cone design... I love the rectangle versions she has, too....
Ok... I think I've shown you my favs... we wanna hear yours!

"Get browsin' ya'll!"
(said in my most southern accent (I'm a midwestern girl - Michigan accent all the way - can you hear me saying that?!))
