My youngest sister is about ready to leave the nest and head off to college. Hearing her stories about getting prepared for one last fling before leaving home reminds me of when, not too long ago, we planned a big party to celebrate her sweet sixteen.  I can honestly confess that at the time finding the perfect invitation for her was just shy of a nightmare. You see, my sister is not the type of girl to enjoy pink and frilly. She is stylish and chic, always showing off the latest trends, and very mature for her age. With so many cutesy styles in the typical designs, we found ourselves searching through “ladies night out” invitations and hoping for one that didn’t show any of the girls with cocktails in hand.

I stumbled upon some of our newest designs from Bonnie Marcus, and wish that we could have had these options a few years ago! For the girl who is young and modern, with a head on her shoulders and a brilliantly developing mind of her own, these sweet sixteen invitations take out the traditional sweet and replace it with stylish sophistication. No need for balloons, flowers, and butterflies! They are youthful and trendy without going overboard on the girlish themes. A perfect alternative to the recent pink princess phenomenon.

BSVI - "Sweet Sixteen"
This invitation has a small border of hot pink to accent the black and ecru design. It shows the number sixteen with a young woman leaning stylishly against the numbers. It is printed on 100# premium ecru cardstock, and is perfect for an event with a hint of formality.

B-SICIP - "Sixteen in the City"
A night out on the town is just what the girls want. Sixteen is not too young to enjoy a little culture, and this invitation is the perfect choice for the social sixteen-year-old with an eye for the exquisite.

 Want to spread a little spook this October? It’s no secret that money has been tight across the board, but there’s no need to sacrifice on design! Instead of sending out the traditional cardstock invitations, you can use one of our Halloween Laser Papers in a pinch. They are just as cute and colorful, with a Halloween spirit that will make you shrill. One great advantage to these papers is their versatility! You can use Halloween papers for crafts, activities, hand-out flyers, and mailed invitations.

If you’re looking for some extra Halloween activities for the little monsters, border papers are a great choice for kids to color in. The fun, decorated border will inspire them to get kooky and creative, and will appear like a frame to give a professional look they will be proud of. Our laser papers are also great for writing down ghost stories to be told by candlelight. (Just don’t hold the flame too close!)

Colorful invitations are a lot of fun for kids’ birthdays, but sometimes a flat invitation isn’t enough for the major party you have planned.  And there’s nothing wrong with that!  Children aren’t young forever, so it’s a great idea to splurge on them every once in a while.  If you’re looking for the perfect invitation to complete the perfect party, then the way to go is die-cut.

There's nothing like a night on the town with just the girls.  GNO (Girls Night Out) is a time for fun, dancing, celebration, and most importantly... women only!  Let down your hair and plan a night with the girls to go a little crazy.  Here are some fun facts for why you should definitely enjoy yourself once in a while:

• Adding a little bit of alcohol to berries increases the potency of the natural anti-oxidants in the berries.
• Laughter causes your blood vessels to expand, increasing (and improving) blood flow.
• Dancing raises your heart rate and provides light exercise (just like a simple cardio workout!).
• Happiness from having fun promotes self-esteem and motivation in everyday life, and also releases stress.

If that's not enough to call up your girlfriends, then consider that a night out doesn't have to celebrate something, but it can!  If one of your friends is getting married, celebrating a birthday, graduating, or got promoted then use that as your perfect excuse.  Pick one of our trendy new designs for cocktails or a night on the town and invite all of your girlfriends.  Or, host a mixed cocktail party for all of your friends--couples too!  It's a great way to enjoy the cool summer nights and put aside some time to let loose a little or catch up with old friends.

A hot new trend this summer is a simple tropical flower—the hibiscus!  It’s got simplicity, elegance, and versatility that no other flower has been able to match.  You can use the hibiscus for a luau with friends, for a tropical Sunday brunch, or for a destination wedding.  It can be adapted to casual, business, or formal events, and has been used in tons of trendy new designs.

Everyone loves a summer luau!  Tropical flavors, sun, and a relaxed atmosphere is just what you need to cool off and have fun.  Businesses are thrilled to host a lower-budget event that all of their employees and customers will still enjoy.  Tropical/tiki decorations are everywhere right now, so it’s a great way to push corporate appreciation while still working on the dime.  And with an economy that is still recovering, engaged couples are finding private destination weddings more affordable and more attractive than the larger traditional events.

Whatever you’re planning, this flower is ready to help!  Check out some of our most popular hibiscus designs:

For a relaxed and casual event, this invitation is the perfect choice!  It’s bright and fun, and brings out tropical summertime with perfection.  With the two different colored flowers, it’s also perfect for a couples shower!

So, you’ve decided to roast a whole pig this summer.  It is definitely a huge feat and requires a lot of planning for a successful outcome.  It may sound like a glorified barbecue, but the details that go into the execution and the time and effort involved in proper cooking are no minor venture.

Pig roasting has trickled down into common American culture and is often called a pig pickin’ in the Deep South.  It traditionally has its roots in Pacific Islander and Caribbean cultures (specifically Hawaii, the Philippines, and Cuba), commonly used for New Year’s celebrations and has extended to include Christmas, Christmas Eve, and Thanksgiving.  It is even known to be practiced in some Southern Chinese areas.  In the U.S., you will find pig roasts celebrating everything from major business events to family reunions.

If you have decided to tackle this unique meal and form of entertainment, then I’m sure you already know how huge your guest list is going to be.  Here are a few of our most popular Piggy Designs to complete your event!
