Folks get pretty creative when it comes to their invitations and save-the-date notices. Earlier this year, a Redditor’s picture of his save-the-date went viral. Because they are having their wedding at a library — and if you read further down the thread, you’ll get more details about their wedding, including the fact that they’re having a gelato stand instead of a cake — their save-the-date was designed as a check-out card for a library book, with the relationship milestones and their approximate dates included. The final date and milestone on the check-out card is, of course, their wedding on June 22 of this year.
