Adult Only Ceremony/Reception

I think so.....

I put adult only reception on the bottom of my invitiations and reply cards so that people would not say I didn't see it. lol

I pus adult only reception on the rsvp card, and on the website. I am also spreading the word among the guests but people sometimes dont get it

We are having an adult only reception except for the kids in the wedding party...we just addressed the invite to who was invited...no one even asked about their kids if they were invited or not

We haven't done our invitation wording yet. We may print it (I need to look at some samples). We did put it on our site that an adult reception would follow the ceremony. We'll reiterate it on the RSVP page (we aren't doing mailed RSVP reply cards). We are also addressing invitations to the individuals invited (no "and family"). As it is, some people just don't get some of these hints and may ask anyways so be prepared. I just got a call from my FBIL telling me to invite his young nephew...oy. The only kids we're having are those in the wedding and 2 that have special needs. Some infants might show up with parents but that is up to the parents to figure out since it doesn't affect guest counts with venue/caterer.

We add adults only printed on our invites. And also only addressed the cards to the people invited.

We put it on the bottom of the invite, RSVP card (along with specific names) and word of mouth and we are still getting rsvp's back with their kids names written in. So damn rude IMO.

Children and other uninvited guests can be a huge issue at weddings. I find it so hard to understand how some people feel that they can bring their uninvited children or anyone else for that matter to someone's wedding.

No matter what one's opinion is, everyone is entitled to have the wedding of her dreams. And if it doesn't include children, then her wishes should be respected.

A specific insert in not necessary. You did the correct thing by mentioning it on the webpage. I would mention it on the page that addresses the ceremony/reception "We politely ask that children are not in attendance for this adult only affair and thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation". This can also be listed on the bottom of the RSVP card in subscript writing.

Some sites have a FAQ page, create the question: Are children allowed? and provide the answer.

Congrats on the upcoming day!

My reception cards said " adult reception" and my RSVP cards said _ number of adults attending and idiot were still calling asking if they could take thir kids and 2 people even added a line that said 2 children. My FMIL said I didn't make it clear on the RSVP and invitation. Come on people how stupid can you be!!

Only because it is a touchy subject, you may want to include it in your invitation, and if you can, have some sitters you can refer people to. We are going to ask that people don't bring their children to our ceremony and dinner part of the reception. We are also going to have sitters onsite that it will be an option to leave their children with (which they will pay for), and then they can get them after dinner is over.

In our invite on the RSVP we just placed no children please. I would put something in the invitations so they know incase they do not go to the website,

I would just advise you to spread the word as well because not everyone will go to the site and see it. Hopefully they will, but just in case, maybe have you mom or fh's parents mention that to families with kids.

We didn't have an "adult only" per say but what we did was list the names of the people invited on the RSVP card (mainly so we could keep track when they came in) and the families with kids, left them with a sitter. The only kids we had were in the wedding.

I would just to be on the safe side. I put "Adult Only Reception" on the Reception Card of our invitations. Its also on our wedding website.

I'm not putting any extra wording on our invitations, just addressing it to adults and I hope that's enough of a hint.

Our invites haven't gone out yet, and I already had one friend mention the dress she was going to buy for her daughter to wear to our wedding. I thought that was a little presumptuous, but I let her know we weren't having children at the wedding and she seemed fine with it.

I put it on our website, but I am not going to put it on the invitation. On the reply card, and I am doing the "___ seats have been reserved in your honor" so people get the hint.

Yes, I think that it's a very good idea. We didn't include that line on our invitations, and I'm really regretting it. We spread word of mouth that the reception was adults only, and we addressed the invitations only to the adults with the number of reserved spots, but we've still had several people add on their kids. Grr...

I always suggest putting it on the bottom of the invitation so its no over looked

I indicated "Adult reception immediately to follow"
