Wwyd?

Heck yes! If you don't feel comfortable having her at the house yet a park is a great place to meet too!

Make the leap if it goes bad you can always go back to public playdates

Do it! I met a mom going for a walk randomly when my kiddo was teeny tiny and I ended up dropping a note at her front door with my number, totally worth it!

Take your time. Go to the park and a cafe etc before bringing strangers to your home. Everyone seems nice at first.

I'd ask! Why not?
Hey, if you're interested I'd love to have you guys over for an afternoon play? I'll get snacks!

Or something

I agree to meet somewhere nearby first to see how it goes.

Ask. It can't hurt to put the feelers out there.

You could always plan it so that you meet up at the park in your neighborhood. If your feeling good about the situation you could invite them over after to cool off with a snack

Go for it! That is so hard to find these days, don’t let your nerves get the better of you! You got this mama.

no

I would first meet at a park and then invite over to a house after that if it goes well
