Great new approach to party invitations-just in time for New Years Eve parties!

With all of the craziness of Christmas and family, I love to just invite good friends over for a classy dinner party and some games for New Year's Eve...we usually just set up pack and plays for babies and have guests bring sleeping bags for their kids then we just hang out until the wee hours when everyone crashes at our house.  Whatever style New Year's Eve party you like to throw, you should check out the new invitations that Shutterfly has created!
For the elegant celebration, you could do one of these:

And for your super fun family sleepover party, maybe try one of these:

Christmas is two weeks away, but there is still hope for you to get your family Christmas cards sent out.

I know you like parties, but in keeping with this blog's original intent of celebrating all things cute,  I feel it is my duty to tell you about the super cute Christmas card styles being offered on www.shutterfly.com this season.  Don't get me wrong:  I have been using Shutterfly for my annual family Christmas cards since 2007.  They always seem to have the best designs from traditional to simple and modern.

As for my family, we are stepping up our game a little this year by getting folded cards printed on premium cardstock. You can also add small images and personal messages inside.  Here's a sample:

If you are more into the typical photo cards, what I like the best about Shutterfly is that they have several designs for multiple photos.  SInce I spend good money on adorable family pictures, I can never choose just one!  Here's a sample of a cute one I found. 

For the first time ever, I think I am gonna do address labels because Shutterfly offers cute modern ones, unlike the cheesy ones I so often see. Here are a few samples, but you can see them all here.

Oh!  And if you need some great gift ideas, I am a HUGE fan of photo books.  I know there are several sites who make them, but Shutterfly is the best one that I have found to date. They are user friendly, fast and highly customizable.  I have made three or four of them and always get rave reviews.  Check out this one that I made for my girls: Sisters Photo Book Project

Here's a little secret, for all of you bloggers out there, you can earn 50 FREE photo cards.  What's not to love about that!?!
