Do you respond to a rsvp?

Dd has been invited to her first parties so I'm not sure of the etiquette. She brought home two party invites, one from a mum I know, one I don't. I replied to both saying she'd love to come, thank you for the invite.
The mum I know replied "Great! x is looking forward to it!"
The one I don't know hasn't replied at all. I've double checked the number on the invite. Party day is getting closer and I'm concerned we'll turn up and she's not expecting us if the message didn't reach her or its the wrong number. Is it normal to get no response?

Think probably normal not to get a response but you could message again saying hope I've got your number right we're looking forward to the party

I’d respond. I think it’s quite unusual not to. Was your message clear enough that she would figure out who you /your daughter are?

I used to respond to messages like that if I thought I’d got it as a wrong number but I’m much more wary of scams these days.

I responded with my name and dds name in the text so yes clear who we are

I wouldn't think that much of it really. She asked for a rsvp which you did so she knows you're coming. It doesn't really matter if she doesn't respond. She's probably just a busy mum and especially if she's getting lots of rsvps.

She’s maybe just had 20ish folk message her with a reply and forgot who she’s confirmed with.

Hmmm. I think that's probably down to individuals text style, I would reply thanks great! My best friend would reply six months later saying spaghetti for tea. Expecting me to know what she was talking about, then not reply for another three months.
