I keep the background white for the front/back cover and the spine. That way I don't have to worry about whether stuff aligns correctly.
ETA: I meant to say that I wait to print until there's a sale, esp the unlimited free pages sale. As for the friends' books, you could "gift" the digital file to the friends' parents (I think Shutterfly let's you share project links?) and they can print the books. Then your gift is your time and creative talent on display in digital form, and they can print it.
