When to Use This
Send this the day before or the morning of. It's practical, not clingy — everyone appreciates a confirmation text. It also prevents the silent anxiety of showing up and wondering if they forgot.
What Not to Say
Don't say "You're not going to cancel on me, right?" or "I just want to make sure you actually want to go." Those project insecurity. A clean, confident check-in is all you need.
