Birthdays, Airlines & Vacations. What’s up with that combo? PLUS Best Advice on Tickets & Safety

Summer is fast approaching and the weather is starting to get warmer. I don’t know about you but I’m so looking forward to my kids getting out of school, summer days and oh yes traveling.

But what do you do when it’s your birthday and you have to be in an airplane? Flying? Is it a Freudian example of leaving the womb once again? Or just your bad luck that the boss sent you away from your friends, loved ones?

FreeBirthdayStuff.com has found some fun facts and great offers from Airlines on our website.

• Did you know that the cheapest day to fly (domestically) is Wednesday, second choice would be Tuesdays and Saturdays? Avoid Fridays and Sundays – think business travelers. • Ticket Sales are best starting on late Monday nights into Tuesday and price matching usually happens by 3 p.m. eastern time. Act fast! By Thursday they’re been snapped up.

Electronic vs Paper When is it Okay to Send an Online Invitation?

An invitation serves one primary purpose: to lure the recipient to an event. These might include a business lunch, birthday party, board meeting, friendly brunch, or other sort of bash. Inviting guests is achieved through a variety of factors, including a snappy design, catchy message and appropriate details. But before your well-produced invitation can deliver invitees to your doorstep, you’ve got to deliver the message. How you send your call for guests may just determine your event’s success. In today’s technological world, the email invitation has become an inexpensive, easy-to-deliver, design-friendly, go-to greeting for both businesses and individuals. If used incorrectly, electronic invites can get lost in the inbox, mistaken for spam, deleted, or simply go unseen and, ultimately, lose their value (There’s nothing more frustrating than spending time and energy on party preparations only to have no one show up). So when should you hit send and when should you hit the post office? Here are a few guidelines
