We are traveling to see family soon and I am trying to make plans to visit as many as I can. I have messaged one family member both via text and facebook. I know she saw the FB message because it tells me when it was viewed. How long would you wait for a response before you make other plans? A little background, this person is a close family member who we have not seen in 2 years and it will most likely be that long or longer before we would see her again.

I'd send another text and say that you forgot to mention, you need to hear back by xx date so that you can make plans.

A little background, this person is a close family member who we have not seen in 2 years and it will most likely be that long or longer before we would see her again. Why don't you just call? Then you would have your answer immediately - and this person might feel a bit more important, as I know certain family members of my family would be a little ticked that I couldn't even be bothered to call them to tell them I was coming, especially if they lived any amount of time before the internet age.... |

Instead of running around to see everyone, I would pick a couple days and times, and plan something, and send out texts and messages with the info.
Something like this: Hello Family and Friends, we will be in town and have a couple get togethers planned.
Saturday(time&date) bbq at Grandmas house and Sunday(time and date) picnic at abc park. Hope you can join us for one or both. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I'd pick up the phone and call That's what I'd do too. I know that sometimes, I read a text or facebook and think I'll reply to it later when I have time and then I forget - maybe that's what has happened. |

Call! Sometimes I read things on the run and forget to respond later. I have lots of kids, always busy. It happens.

I personally love the picnic idea! Let everyone get together and as many as possible come to you. Save yourself from running all over and save your sanity in the process!

I think planning a barbeque, etc. and inviting everyone to come to you is a fabulous idea.
