Have you heard about SAVE THE DATE card? It's actually a save the date notice stating the date of a wedding. It has to be send out at least six months before the wedding date. The purpose of giving STD card to your recipients is to let them know to keep the date free.
I just came back from my monthly fieldtrip last monday when my sister told me there were 3 orders for cupcakes this weekend and at the same time we (sis, bro and me) were planning to bake at least 300pcs of cupcakes for Sona's Full Moon party. We started baking on Thurs night when another order came in. So, we end up baking 500 cuppies.. phewwww... Tired but satisfied.
