Playdate Posts is a private playdate text list. It's invite-only: Vanessa asks parents she knows in person if they'd like to join.
1. Vanessa asks you in person
"Can I add you to my playdate list? Basically you'll get a text anytime we're looking for a playdate."
2. If you say yes, she texts you this invite
Vanessa (her personal phone)
Hi! Here's my playdate list. Text JOIN to (720) 729-3991 and you'll get a text anytime we're looking for a playdate.
3. You opt in by texting JOIN
You're only added after you text the keyword yourself. Here's the exact conversation:
