Adult Reception Wording

Drafting he invitations. Since everything is in one place it says "Adult Reception To Follow". Do I need to specify an age (i.e., 18 and over)? Two of the couples we are inviting have kids they are going to be around 16, 17 years old. We don't have a problem with that and I don't want to alienate them by putting 18 and over if they are only 16, 17 years old. Main thing is that we don't want any little kids there. I'm assuming that people will know that Adult Reception means no little kids.

Just write who's invited on the invitation. It should be assumed.

Note that anyone invited to the ceremony should also be invited to the reception, including children, flower girls, ring bearer...etc...

I would think that Adult Reception would be fine. Judging from previous threads, many parents of kids are going to ask you if they can come anyways
Seriously though, I think Adult reception is the easiest way to word it.

"Adult Reception to follow" sounds perfect.

We're not having a flower girl and ring bearer. It's just me, hubby, MOH and BM, the officiant and our guests. That's it. lol. We're doing a vow renewal. I just want it clear so that there is no confusion with certain family members who think they will be the exception even though I've said there will be no children.

ETA: Thanks Laura and MrsJa. I was thinking that was enough also. There aren't a lot of people coming who have little kids. It's mainly for the few family members that think they are exempt from what I've said. lol

We allowed children (mainly against my preference), but we put "children welcome, if supervised". I know you are looking at no children though, so "Adult reception to follow" sounds respectful and well-worded.
