I am a old...lol (54) year old single mother of four grown children, and 10 grandchildren. I am expecting two additional grandchildren next year so I will have 12 in total. (I am beyond thrilled) I have helped plan my oldest daughters wedding approximately 8-9 years ago, my middle daughters wedding 6 years ago and am in the process of planning my youngest daughters wedding for November 2018

Happily married 🎉

No Politics Please
Amanda, on October 24, 2018 at 5:12 PM

How can one kindly make it clear that there should be no political discussions whatsoever at the reception? Should it be in the website or the invitations? How can one word that?
