Childcare Wording Help!

We are doing the exact same thing! We're sending out save the dates next month and our plan is include an insert with them and another insert with invites (only to families who are affected by it). We will only include the parents' names on the envelope and the inserts will say something like:

We will be providing childcare at the venue for children under 10. More details to follow. Please reach out to Jenna at (phone number) for any additional information.

And when the invites go out, maybe something like this:

We will be providing childcare at the venue for children under 10. The sitters will be CPR certified and there will be dinner and activities provided for the children. Please contact Jenna at (phone number) by (RSVP date) if __________ will be utilizing the childcare.

This is all rough wording but maybe will give you an idea. Also, we have talked to several people in the family about this and everyone is on board so far, especially because they'll be just down the hall and the parents can pop in there any time. If not, they're welcome to find their own childcare, but we're trying to make it easier on guests with children to attend.

I would assume most parents won't utilize this, since it sounds like it's in another room than the actual wedding? I'd put an insert card to parents with kids with information. Something like "Due to limited space, we can't extend invitations to all children of the adults on our guest list. We are providing childcare from company XXX and the company will provide dinner and activities. Please let me know if you are interested in utilizing this service." If it were me, I'd just find a sitter I knew/trusted for my kids.

That's good! I think saying the name of the company is great for sure. We are hiring childcare professionals but the room is open to the reception space and it's optional if they want to use it or not. It's super nice you are offering it!

Although we didn't allow any children at all at our wedding, I don't think this is such a bad idea.

My opinion on wording is something like this, "Your little ones will have fun together with childcare on the premises, while you have fun letting loose during our day of celebration". OR, "While we love your little ones, we've arranged for childcare on the venue premises so that you and your little ones can each have your own fun celebrating love!"

I agree naming the company is a great idea. Also, use the word Because. There is a psychology principle that people are more willing to accept things when given a reason.

Because of limited space in the dining area, complimentary childcare from ABC Sitters will be provided onsite.
