I just learned of a great new site I had to share. It's called Eventup and it's an online party venue booking site.
It's based here in Santa Monica, so a few weeks ago I had coffee with the founder, Tony Adam, and he told me all about it.

Our FREE girl birthday and boy birthday printable collections have been such a hit, we decided to give away more party printables!
This "paper fan" collection is designed by the talented Kirsten of Embellish. We wanted these printables to be generic enough to work for any party, but to have a sophisticated and feminine feel.
