Nation Save the date?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Do they pass the pub test? Well, your daughter's getting
married next year, so you said, this is a big
discussion wide as possible.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
So there's nobody there.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
And what does your daughter say when you talk like this? Interesting?
Because save the date? Did you say it goes out
like eight months before the wedding?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Apparently? Yeah, eight to twelve months before the wedding.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Wow. One of our executive producers was saying, how triggering
she finds that because she doesn't have a diary for
next year. It locks you in, whether you like it
or not. So no excuse can be made. Well, we
gave you the date, et cetera, et cetera. The pressure
it puts on you. You cannot not attend if you've
known this has been in the works for a year,
even if it's an event, you may be deciding whether

(00:46):
you'll go to and make that decision when the invitation
comes six to eight weeks before the wedding. But a
lot of people are saying it's great, you know, save
the date. If I've got to travel, I've got whatever.

the pub test.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Other side, I save the date doesn't necessarily lock you in,
so you can still say no, it's just letting you
know you know when it is well.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
I don't think it passes the pub pests. It should
