Busy streets. The hustle and bustle of frantic shoppers carrying multiple shopping bags from shop to shop. Carolers on the street corners. The sound of the Savlation Army bells ringing throughout the air. The snow covered cityscape that is illuminated by city lights…“It’s Christmas-time in the city.”

Celebrate your love for the city this holiday season with a customizable greeting card from our Regional and City Scene collection. Great for corporate customers and those of us who live in the city, this collection includes a festive array of holiday city scenes from generic cityscapes to some of our most popular US cities like Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., Seattle, Hollywood and Dallas. Choose a city greeting card that showcases your place of residence or your corporate home. Your recipients will get a taste of city living and the reason you have chosen this location for your work or home.

Our city cards feature breathtaking photographs of city monuments, buildings and popular city staples. Take a look at some of our most popular city greeting cards below…

Pop the cork, get out the confetti, noise makers and party hats! We all love celebrating New Years Eve and we all love weddings. Why not combine both events into one unforgettable night?! In searching for information on such a fun wedding event, I found some great New Years wedding favors that I wanted to share with our readers. Read on…

Party Hats & Noise Makers – When handing out your party favor bags, instead of including the traditional wedding candies/mints, hand out black bags with silver garnishes full of part hats, noise makers and confetti. Ask the guests that remain at midnight to celebrate your wedding & the New Year. These favors can be purchased in bulk at a local party store or an online source like Oriental Trading Company, etc. They are relatively inexpensive and totally fun!

Hershey Kisses – As soon as that ball drops, we all grab our significant other or friends to hug and kiss through the New Year transition. Give your guests a special “kiss” from the bride & groom, but this one is made from the chocolate we all know and love. Tie each favor with a tag that says “Here’s a few hugs & kisses from the new Mr. & Mrs.”.

Champagne – A champagne toast is traditional at any wedding as well as any midnight New Years celebration. Prior to midnight, hand each guest a mini bottle of champagne that is adorned with a personalized label from the bride and groom. Ask your guests to un-cork at midnight with you. Too budget conscious? Hand out mini champagne bottle bubbles instead!

Personalized Calendar – Send each guest home with a personalized calendar to use throughout the New Year. Make sure that January is a photo of the newlywed couple and fill the other months with scenery from your hometown or fun pictures of you and your guests from the previous year.

Fortune Cookies – After the wedding cake, serve chocolate dipped fortune cookies to your guests and let them know what is in store for them in the upcoming year. Choose random fortunes or do your own customized fortunes for each guest!

Ready for the new year already?! Remember, the above ideas are great for New Years weddings but could also be incorporated to a annual New Years Party idea. Many thanks to Wedding Themes & More for these GREAT party favor suggestions!

Most think of holiday gifts in the physical sense: a new Xbox, sweaters, scarves or a new tool set. Yet some of us are lucky enough to have a different kind of new arrival that comes to us this holiday season! That’s right, we’re talking about Christmas babies!

This holiday season, we have introduced many digital photo holiday birth announcement cards to our website for our new parent customers. What better way to celebrate both the holiday season and your new arrival then by doubling up with a holiday card and birth announcement in one?! This will also cut your baby and holiday budget down in half, which we know is so important during this economy.

Take a look at some of our newest holiday birth announcements below! Our holiday birth announcements range from religious scenes to modern scenes with polka dots and contemporary hues, to traditional holiday colors and cartoon accented holiday staples.

Orange Autumn Leaves Photo Card by IB Designs: One of my personal favorite designs, this flat white Thanksgiving greeting card features a deep fall brown background with a delicately placed collage of orange leaves scattered through the center of the card.
