Hi all,

I've read over and over again not to add that your wedding/reception is adults only onto the invitations.

I'm wondering if anyone has actually done this and what the feedback was.

I ask because we sent our save the dates. I included a link to our website on the save the date and on the website I included a note about the event being adluts only. Well it appears that basically no one has actually looked at the website and we have received a ton of questions about people bringing their children. Even one of my best friends said something the other day about our registry and I told her it was on the website and she said "oh no one told me you had a website"

I am VERY against having children at our wedding. VERY. So someone bringing their child is not just an oh well deal with it moment. It would be a huge upsetting factor to me and I wonder if I should just print it in plain text right on the invitation rather than hoping people will take a hint with the names or find it on the website.

Thoughts or experiences?

Yeah I would not share it on facebook. For the reasons you said, those not invited might feel some type of way. Maybe along with your invites send a little note that says, "Due to covid we will be having a limited, adult only wedding. We kindly ask that you leave your kids at home. We look forward to celebrating with you!" You know your crows so you could word it accordingly.

This is the way you are supposed to do it.
Mr. JB will/ will not attend
then meal choice. ............ Ms. SB will/ will not attendthen meal choice. When you fill out names and leave no extra space, put a decorative swirly line or scroll over open space, youmake the point without the negative, don't bring your kids. Lots of people are unwilling to take the ti.e to fill in each line with mames of who is invited. But it saves lits of time in the end. Only a few will e en call. and no one brings kids not listed. Forget the writing, we have reserved 2 seats in your honor. fill in each possible space, and live no place blank for add ons.

This would literally annoy me. I too have No Children policy in place for my wedding. It is on our website and will have the website information on the Save the Date. I will also make it verbally known to key persons and I expect the information to be passed along. At this point, I would say put that information right there on the invitation since they seem to take direction well.

Agree with this. You spread the info via word of mouth and address the envelopes to invited guests only.
