Couple Rsvped their 3 kids, help!

Julia , on June 23, 2019 at 8:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10
We've decided to have a child-free wedding. We've received most of our RSVPs back and two couples who's RSVP was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. X, both stated their 3 children would be attending as well. What do I do?! No other children will be attending.

    Call and tell them unfortunately you are only able to extend invites to the adults. And to let you know if they are still able to attend

    I agree! They should have definitely at least had the courtesy of inquiring about their kids attending instead of assuming. If that's your rule, there's no need to feel sorry. Just tell them how it is.

    “We received your RSVP and we’re so glad you can make it to the wedding! Unfortunately, the invitation was meant for you and x and we aren’t able to accommodate any extra guests.”

    I agree with Caytlyn, I’d just add something like: “we hope you’ll still be able to attend, please let me know either way so I can get an accurate count”

    I think this is a super polite and a good way to phrase it.

    Oh no!!! I hope after you talk to them they still don't bring their kids.
    I had it happen where they said they wouldn't bring their kid... But still brought their kid that day of anyway -_-

    Yeah just be straight forward and polite.... This is why it is important to add to your invitations and also save the dates. ADULT ONLY EVENT!!!

    I'd text or call and say "Hey! So happy to hear you can come to the wedding, I'm so sorry for any confusion but our budget & venue only allow for us to include adults at our wedding. If you & your spouse can still come, great! If you can't come without your children, just let me know. Thanks!"
