Can we talk about that Saturday before Mother's Day?

I had a Saturday two weeks ago that nearly broke me. We did 87 orders in one day, which is double our usual. I had three new helpers who mixed up the roses with the carnations on two big arrangements. Then a bride called crying because her bouquet had the wrong shade of blush. I stayed until 11 PM fixing mistakes and restocking. Has anyone else had a holiday prep day spiral like that, or was this just a bad year for me?

Pre-ordering all flowers by Tuesday and having backup labels printed saved my sanity before big holidays.

Big holiday flower orders are that serious to you? I guess if you're running a whole shop it makes sense, but for most people it's just grabbing a bouquet from the grocery store.
