RSVP for a child's party. How long does it take you?

I'm a texter. Or email. Makes it easier because you can check names off later, where if someone tells me verbally I could easily forget.

For DS2 I could just talk to the parents and we have a list too so I could email or ring them but for DS1's class we don't have a list and I don't seem to know the parents as well. Maybe it's something to do with starting late in the year when they had all introduced themselves etc *shrug*

Don't worry, I'm learning that you tend to click with one child's year but not necessarily all iykwim? My gf's are telling me the same. You are NOT a social retard btw.

Have received text rsvp's as well. Thought it was odd at first, but ok with it now, no different to leaving a message on the answering machine.

I have a big fear of pronouncing the child's name wrong, especially with the kids from childcare, as I often have not "heard" their name, so that can make me reluctant to call straight away. Bit easier with primary school as I can ask DD1 how to say their name.
