I'd call her, give her the benefit of a doubt.  Something could have happened and her mind is elsewhere.  Call, ask if everything is ok.  It's better than not knowing.

Call rather than text. The art of communication is fading fast!

@Sheilaray, how did this turn out?

[chrystaltree]

I would have taken the woman at her word.  She said she's look at her calendar and get back to you the next day.  You haven't heard from her, she isn't coming.  Yes, you can follow up but, why would you want to?  If you called and spoke to her when you invited her, the "I'll text you.."  is a brush off.

"I need to look at my calendar" is an exceedingly rude reply to an invitation, it seems to me.  How long does it take her to do that?  It seems to me she could do that immediately rather than leaving it hanging.  I'd just go ahead and make other plans and then if she replies late just say you thought she couldn't make it and so made other plans.  Hopefully she wouldn't show up at your house unexpectedly.

@OfCourse, maybe she needed to check her husband's availability.

@suzyQ3  How long would that take?  Maybe 24 hours tops?  If someone invited me somewhere and I had to check that I could do it, I'd say, "I'd love to go but I need to check.  Can I call you tomorrow?"  This is just rude to leave someone hanging.

I agree about contacting her again to check to see if they're coming.  If she still isn't sure just say let's skip it then, I want to make firm plans for him.  We can try to connect another time.

Oh, I totally agree, @OfCourse. I was mostly referencing your comment about how she find out almost immediately.

Oh, good grief, please don't text her.   If this woman is close enough to have in your home for an entire weekend, pick up the phone and call her.  If there is a problem, you'll know immediately.
