How many of you remember when the saved the date thing started to become a deal for people

who wanted to have a wedding?

It's like a pre-invitation invitation.

It's like an invitation to think about going to the wedding.

We don't have all the details nailed down yet, but we know it's going to be on this date

in like a year and a half, and we want you to get that thing inked in on your calendar

right now.

I remember the first time I saw one of those, everyone was like, what the heck is this

the thing now?

And I asked several people who were much older than me, and they were like, I've never

seen that.

Like, I used to just be some people in invitation, and that's that.

Well, why did that change?

I think the saved the date thing, it's like a countermeasure to the, not pointing any

fingers here.

I'm part of this culture in this moment in history too, but it's kind of a countermeasure

to this new found social acceptance toward flakiness that we all have just learned to

live with and probably contribute to a little bit as well.

People find that if you want a planet thing, that is a much larger endeavor at this point.

Well, this is not a new phenomenon that you want people to show up for your thing and

you want to try to plan it in advance, but how the invitation got delivered in the past

and different parts of the world was a little bit different in a more agrarian moment
