Hey,
My son is currently in primary 1, the year where whole birthday parties are rife.. He’s already had many invites, which we attended, however I really struggled how to write his RSVP mainly because these are children or parents that I do not know. I tried a few different formats introducing myself and accepting invite, the msg done the job in advising our attendance however I feel these seemed a bit awkward, and really wanted to find a suitable way to reply, so any examples would greatly be appreciated.
This mainly came about as his latest invite is on a day where I have plans (belated birthday celebrations) and my ex (his dad) is busy, so I’m still looking into suitable child care arrangements for him, however he really wants to go as it’s a close friend from school, but I do not know this child or their parents. My hope is to get someone to watch him on this day, that will also take him to the party, but I won’t know for definite until nearer the time. Due to not really know these people I’ve struggled to find a way to introduce myself and explain our situation, as im trying to arrange things to ensure he can attend class, however there may be last minute changes which will mean he’s unable to attend.. I don’t want to confuse the parent, but I also want her to know he will try to go but need to wait and see etc..
i would be fine msging a friend or an aquintance about this, however not knowing them at all gives me the fear and worries me a bit too much.. again any help here is appreciated. X
