This morning I emailed a positive response to an invitation to a bar mitzvah. I couldn't help but remeber the last time this family made another bar mitzvah. I had met the father of the soon to be bar mitzvah boy on the street and I thanked him for the invitation and told him we would love to attend. He told me, "Do me a favor. I might not recall that we had this conversation so, can you please email me your repsonse, as well. This way, I have a written reminder of who responded in the affirmative.
I resolved to answer all future invitations in written form from then on.
