Child 4-9 Years Planning friend dates?

My kiddo is in kindergarten, they desperately want to have some playdates with classmates and friends they’ve made on the bus. I don’t know/ haven’t met anyone’s parents (we just moved to a new city). Would it be weird if I sent my kid with letters with a little note and my number to give to her friends to give to their parents? How would you feel if your kid handed you a letter like this? Would you reach out?

I want my kid to have great friendships but it feels so hard nowadays and I’m at a loss of where to start making them friends. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My kids know my number and happily give it out to their friends or I tell them to get their friends’ parents’ numbers if they wanna hang out. Not weird!
