I'm terrible at responding to physical invitations (I had two friends actually have to ask me in person after I didn't get back to them for over a month). But an SMS invite I most likely would get back to you within a day, most likely, possibly within ten minutes. For people like me, it's so much easier and much lower friction to respond to a text. I can be just as bad with email. My parents get responses from me a lot more quickly now that they've started getting into the habit of texting (yes, it's taken that long).
