I see they have 3 options but I'm not sure which one to go with. I hope we make the shipping deadline.

I actually just placed an order tonight with Shutterfly for an 8x8 book. This is the first time I've done one of these so it took me a lot of hours to do it. It probably won't take you that long at all. I went with a photo cover (not the see through one). For standard shipping it said they couldn't guarantee the delivery dates (something like the 19-24) so I opted for the second option which was $3 more. The whole thing was a little pricey, but it's for my new granddaughter, so was worth it. I'll know to allow more time next time and will have one ready for when there is a SR offer. Good luck!
