[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your kid have other kids that he really enjoys playing with? I would start with the kid as the connection, rather than the mom. If both of your kids seem to get along really well, schedule a playdate indoors at your home, assuming that they live somewhat close-by.

For me, big turnoffs would be having to drive far for a playdate (no more than 10-15 minutes, one way), or doing something with other moms when our kids do not get along.

Also, planning the activities (e.g., the pottery painting) seems like too much effort. I would say no to an RSVP. I would, however, go out for coffee.

Finally, have you considered a playgroup that meets regularly and inviting the moms to go out to lunch afterwards?[/quote]

OP here.  My child is too young to have friends yet.  He's still in the age where he doesn't really notice other kids that much.  So really for now the mom connection is most important.

I do think the driving thing can be an issue, although I'm out in the suburbs so driving far distances is somewhat normal.

I am in a weekly playgroup that meets every week.  It is in the afternoon though, so lunch wouldn't be an option.  Dinner could be an option but I feel like that's too "formal" and would turn people off?  [/quote]
