How long would you wait on a response before it becomes a bit rude?

I sent a message to my 2 friends 3 days ago asking them if they wanted to go an event over the summer. Both read it and haven’t responded.

I tend to find I respond to things straight away if I’m directly asked about something.

At what is it rude to not respond with a yes or a no?

I'd stop mithering and text, 'Any more thoughts about going to 'event'..?'.or 'Have you decided about 'event', I need to book/set plans in motion/ put it on my calendar/arrange my calendar ..?'.

Hopefully that'll sort it.🙂

Your friends won't know that you need an answer quickly unless you tell them that (have you tickets to book, time off or childcare to arrange?)

If a friend sent me a text about something way way in the summer, I'd think about it and ask others(if it was a family outing type thing ) and and check with work -- all those things may take me a week or two as I wouldn't realise it requires a quick answer unless my friend said so.

If you need to know quickly, then Do a follow up text
