Catering Costs Plummet?
Besides the stuff going on with The Moms, we’ve got some really fun stuff happening, too.
Namely, Kevin graduating from college in June, and moving home the same weekend that Carrie moves into her newlywed apartment. And then, of course, Carrie and Marc’s wedding on June 30!
We got the bulk of the invitations sent out before our self-imposed deadline of May 14, the day of the postal rate hike. Not that we saved more than $4 by pushing it, but it DID make a handy little deadline.
Since then, Carrie has gotten no less than three phone calls to let her know the invitation contains a TYPO.
“I about died until I could get home and check the invitation,” she said. “People are telling me June 13 doesn’t fall on a Saturday…”
“June 13? I don’t get it. What happened to good old June 30?”
On formal invitations, you write out the words. In letters, rather than numerals. In this case, the words are “Saturday, the thirtieth of June.”
Three people SO FAR have looked at the word “thirtieth” and seen “thirteenth.”
We may have a much smaller crowd than we planned for!
- I don't know about dates, but I've noticed that when they write about other things involving numbers, they always put the numerical symbols in brackets: "One (1) pot of gold". I always wondered why, but now I guess I know! heeheehee
