Adults Only Wedding

View Quoted Comment

I do what I can.

Hello,

So, we are requiring guests to rvsp using RSYPify. It is amazing. You put in the number of people with the party (plus ones, children, etc.) and it only allows for that amount of people to be invited. For example, my best friend and her husband will have two seats reserved and online it only provides them with two spaces for names. They are unable to add any more.

RSVP Draft

Send the invitation to exactly who you are inviting. We didn’t have room on our RSVPs for “We have reserved ___ seats in your honor” and we did have a few people respond for individuals who weren’t invited (one even responded for her MIL and 16 year old niece). We just handled those as they came up.

I am doing no kids under 10. I went and talked to the parents individually. I wanted to know why I made the decision. At first they didn't understand but once I brought up the fact that I wanted them to enjoy themselves too without worrying about the kids they were right on board.

My cousin had adults only ceremony...and it did kind of hurt cuz it was a weekday and it was very hard to find someone to watch our infant child that late (wedding was 2 hr drive away) and all relatives were at the wedding. We were close...as in close cousins but she said well ill b really sad if u cant make it. While i was hurt as she said that, she did the right thing for herself and i commend her for it. We had a blast at the wedding. It worked out

On the RSVP, make sure it is guest count specific.

As in..." There are 2 spaces reserved in your honor".

If you have a wedding web site, you could put something like..."To give all of our guests the opportunity to let their hair down and have a good time without having to worry about little eyes and ears, we politely request adults only...thank you". (That was on my besties wedding web site and it got around by word of mouth as well from the people that saw it online).

We are being very specific with the names on the invites and our wedding website has a note that nicely says adults only.

Also a second, inner envelope is another way. Outer says Mr and Mrs X. Inside says kate and John X. No kids.

We are addressing envelopes/invites only to those who are invited. We put a polite note about it being an adult only event on our website and when people RSVP we are going to have to keep an eye out. Also I agree, word of mouth is helpful too.

I second this.

We put it on our website as well as word of mouth. Also on the Save The Dates only adults names were addressed on envelopes. As will wedding invites be.
