Was she annoying?

A little bit annoying - maybe she’s an anxious person. I would have answered the text by saying that you were still figuring out the schedule and were planning to rsvp by x date (the date on the invite); is that rsvp date still ok or did she need an answer sooner for some reason?

She may have been panicking if no one had rsvp’d yet or maybe thinking of changing the date; who knows.

I think she's anxious and trying to control the RSVPs, bc you honestly feel a lack of control when nobody RSVPs. When I hosted ours, I felt all the feels but I had to let it all go to some degree and pray some kids showed up.

I also decided I would never do RSVPs ever again

Was she communicating after you missed the RSVP date or all the texts came in 2-3 weeks before the RSVP deadline?

Before. Friday sent home invite, Sunday Evite text and then Monday personalized text. I didn’t get 2-3 weeks to figure it out!

So that is why I was wondering if anyone else would find this annoying?

I think it’s annoying. But there’s a chance that the Sunday and Monday text were automated and your friend just clicked through the reminder options without thinking it through. I’m not sure what you mean by personalized - there could be an automated text that puts your name in like “Hope Betty can make it to the party”. I like the flyer option from paperless post for invites - you can send it by text and I think it makes it easier to find and reply, and it doesn’t jam their inbox.
