We too just paid off all our debt but house and we too are so excited!!! I'm not really the party type, but I would say a nice night out with your husband and reflect on how far you have come!!! I never thought we would be able to say that we were debt free except our house....it's amazing how easy it would have been for you to get off track! Congrats, now relax and reflect on where you have come from in order to get to where you are today! Amy – I am so excited for you!!

Good for you for making all these positive changes!<br /><br />You could make a sheet cake that looks like a credit card, and then make a big deal of cutting it up! Or, what about asking American Express to sponsor your party? Ha!=) Amy!

I would love to imprint it with a lovely boot print on its way out, in fact. I cannot wait to have a “throw the credit card debt out the door” party!

(I'm sure there's some useful parallels to the real world that could be made from this if my brain would think...coffee hasn't kicked in yet.)<br /><br />The destruction of the card, as others have mentioned, would definitely be a good highlight.

This could be fun, tie a ribbon to the scissor handle with a card attached bearing the verse to own no man anything! (bad paraphrase - I apologize!)<br />Liz I say go to the dollar store and get a pair of kid scissors for each family to give out to symbolicly remind others to cut up the cards!

This girl draws her credit card statements every month until she pays off her debt. It's brilliant!<br /><br />I like the idea of making decorations out of credit card offers - that is some creative recycling! Have you seen the Obsessive Consumption blog?
