Childfree Wedding!

Adult only wedding. That to me is better than no kids allowed ha ha. Or adult only ceremony. You can put on the wedding website but some people don't check those. I like to leave little room for error so I would put on the invites too.

You don't say anything on the invite itself. You address the envelope to adults and setup the reply card to either have their names preprinted or '2 seats have been reserved for you'.


You can mention adult only on your website or spread the info via word of mouth. That's the only polite ways to approach it.

View Quoted Comment I agree. That's exactly what we did.

I’m the detail card, I added “Although we love children, we cannot accommodate them. Make this day a date night!”

Ohhhh, I like that phrasing!

Thank you!

I recommend wording it like "Although we love to watch the children
run and play, this is going to be
an adults only kind of day.

Due to restrictions at our venue and covid, children under the age of 18 are not able to attend.

Along with addressing the invitations only to the adults, we included the phrase “Adult reception to follow” after the ceremony information. The ceremony and reception are at the same location, so I cannot imagine anyone bringing their child for the ceremony but leaving to drop off at a sitter!

We Put "Adults Only" On Our Wedding Website RSVP Page, But Still Had people Asking If They Could Bring Their Kids.

Spread by word of mouth, put "adults only" on the website. Nothing on the actual invitation. For the RSVP cards, write "2 seats have been reserved in your honor" so there is no confusion.
