Why do you need to "automate" an action you're expecting to perform, in the happy case, once in a lifetime?
I'm not sure what the OP had to learn exactly in doing this, or whether he knew it all already, but it's far easier to learn stuff when you have a practical application to apply what you're learning to.
This is such an example, and other people could learn a thing by the approach.
(Although personally I agree, automating is often premature optimisation)
I like it, but I think if I'd sent out save the dates via SMS for my wedding I'd have been sleeping alone for quite a while.
Perhaps a nice card from https://lob.com/ with a QR code to the RSVP form?

Missing forest for trees etc.

Why?
I think what he means is a wedding is a symbolic event that should be mirrored in all the small details, from the hand written card, to the ring, etc, etc... So ya think about it.
For the whole pipeline, you should also connect: Tinder + your calendar app + Opentable to automate the dating process. The output of that can be the input of this.
You think it's simple, but you're ignoring all sorts of error handling and alternate process paths.
As someone who has attempted to date (not bragging) in what I affectionately call "real life", I am somewhat acquainted with the dangers of both error and alternate paths in dating.
