Planning a wedding can be a full-time job.

Just ask Kate Middleton, who recently resigned from her parents' mail-order party-supply company in order to focus on her upcoming wedding to Prince William.

Royal officials confirm that last Friday was Kate's final day at Party Pieces, where she worked as a project manager since 2007.

"She has handed over her work to colleagues and is now preparing for her future life," said a source.

And the future princess seems to be handling the pressure well. "She is really throwing herself into [planning] with gusto and energy and is an absolute pleasure to work with," a friend told Hello! mag.

Only 93 days left till the wedding of the century! Not that we're counting or anything...
