Kid's birthday party planning site &lt;a href="http://www.pepperspollywogs.com"&gt;Peppers and Pollywogs&lt;/a&gt; just launched &lt;a href="http://www.pepperspollywogs.com/cards/"&gt;Card Central&lt;/a&gt;, which is right up my party-planning alley. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Creating party invitations online is nothing new, but at Card Central has a few cool twists. All the card designs are custom made by up and coming artists like &lt;a href="http://www.pepperspollywogs.com/cards/default.aspx?q=D&amp;amp;s=8"&gt;Gina Kurtz Designs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.pepperspollywogs.com/cards/default.aspx?q=D&amp;amp;s=9"&gt;Laura White&lt;/a&gt; and my favorite, &lt;a&gt;The Card Bakery&lt;/a&gt;. Cool, funky fun designs, not those primary colored cards that scream, "I'm a CHILD!"&amp;nbsp; And instead of ordering the invitations in bulk and having to wait for them, you pay a flat fee for the design and customization of party details. They send you a PDF file of the invite and you can print those puppies out at home to mail. Or you can just email the file out to your potential guests. A big plus for those of us who wait until the very last minute to get our par-tay act together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The again, maybe I have a wee bit too much time on my hands.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=23345" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/droolicious/archive/tags/children_2700_s+birthday+party/default.aspx">children's birthday party</category><category domain="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/droolicious/archive/tags/party+invitations/default.aspx">party invitations</category></item></channel></rss>
