Details Card

So what do you typical put in the details cards?
Is it tacky to add the no kids part here?
Would it seem rude to say something like “We respectfully request no children under 12 at the reception.”?

I don't want to have it part of the invitation since I only want it said to the parents or people we know who have kids. Would it look wrong? Or should I send it to everyone, to seem inclusive?

I included that kids are welcome. You'll get mixed opinions, but I think the details card is precisely the place to put that, and send it to everyone. You'll have friends with kids who need to know, you'll have some adult friends with no kids who care for their own reasons. I also included information about the style of food service, since it's not a traditional meal, and information about the venue.

I put the no kids part on our details card right next to the “no smoking” message. I think it’s fine!

We had a details card mentioning our provided transportation, directions, and information for kids (we only sent that one to families with kids) for meal, etc. Our other card had accommodation information. I would address the invite to JUST the adults and put "___ out of ____ attending" on your RSVP and fill out the second line with number for adults.
