1st Birthday Party Invites: Shutterfly Coupon for a 20% Discount or Free Shipping

Shutterfly 1st birthday party invitations promo code: (Save up to 40%!) So, if you are planning your baby’s first birthday party, one of the first things you’ll want to think about are the invitations. The good news is that not only does Shutterfly have great discount custom birthday invites, but you can also use a coupon to get them even cheaper below:


shutterfly first birthday girl couponCheap first birthday invites that don’t look cheap – When our first boy turned one, I made a rookie mistake of spending about $80 on the cake, and going cheap with the actual invitations. Well, here we are, 8 years later, and the grandparents have all saved the invitations, and forgotten all about the cake. That’s just one reason why I think you really have to do the invites right; it’s a relatively small expense that not only sets the tone for the birthday party itself, but also will be remembered or even kept for years to come.

The good thing is that not only is it easy to sort 1st birthday invitation designs, (boy, girl, twins, etc), but it’s also easy to upload your favorite photos to feature in the invites. Choose to sort by number of photos that you’d like to use, design colors, price range, and card size. You can also choose between flat or folded cards, and add rounded corners for an extra fee. With their stylish designs, I find that a favorite Instagram picture works well in the design. OMG!

Use a coupon for custom 1st birthday invites from Shutterfly

Anyway, the key to good first birthday invitations is a combination of being cheap and high quality. When you use a coupon, I think that’s just what you get at shutterfly.com. They print such a huge volume of invitations, birth announcements, photo books, and prints, that it really brings the price down. Plus, there is usually a promo code that is renewed every month for free shipping when you spend about $30 or so. If you’re inviting more than 20 people to your boy or girl’s 1st birthday, you’ll probably want to consider that promotion.

Baby Shower Invitations: Why Not Use an Ultrasound or Sonogram Photo?

baby stroller retroBaby Shower Invites with an Ultrasound photo: If you’re throwing a baby shower, there are a number of creative ideas for the invitations, including using the mom-to-be’s actual ultrasound or sonogram photo. What a better way to have friends and family meet the baby for the first time, and now there are a number of stylish design options that you can easily add your photo to.

You can either add your ultrasound pic to any almost any design with at least one photo, or choose one of the designs specifically for an ultrasound pic; giving you space in the belly of the mom’s silhouette to add it.

Check out these invites from Shutterfly, and before you order anything from their site, be sure to use a coupon: (click to view larger)

If you’ve gotten ultrasound photos back already, you may be thinking, “how am I going to properly get a good photo from that cheap, curly paper that they use?” One way is to just flatten out your favorite picture from the roll, and snap a good digital photo (try your smart phone) of it, which you can then upload easily from your phone to sites like Shutterfly, Snapfish, and Tiny Prints.

If the designs at Shutterfly aren’t impressing you, we found some cool ones at TinyPrints.com as well: (see all or view their latest coupons)

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s a cool, creative idea that will have guests at the actual baby shower taking and excited. They’ll know that they are part of an inner circle of family and friends who get a sneak peek at the baby before he joins the world.

Also, I found this baby shower invite design from Snapfish.com (get coupon), which is nice too, even though it shows a one month old baby in the mom’s belly! Obviously they didn’t have a sonogram pic of a baby to use as a sample! (no wonder that woman has been moody!)
