How to say "No Kids" on invitation?

You can't give people an age limit. All or none. If had kids over 13 and some under, I wouldn't come at all since some of the kids can't come.

There's not a way to nicely point out, unsolicited, that somebody is not invited to a wedding. What you do is address the invitation to "Mr and Mrs John and Jane Smith" instead of "The Smith family". If you would like, you can put on the response card "____ out of 2 attending" as well.

Just as another note though, arbitrary age cut offs can be tricky. If there are families you're splitting - i.e. 16 year old cousin got invited but not their 9 year old sibling - that's rude. It's usually better to invite in circles - all first cousins or none - to avoid that sort of complication. The only age cut-off that makes sense is 18, the age at which someone is considered a legal adult.

Do you have a wedding website? That combined with spreading it word of mouth should help (tell your parents and the bridal party and they'll pass it along). Just use the invites to indicate exactly who is invited. Address only the names of people invited and if you're giving a space to indicate meal choice make sure it's just their names. If anyone sends back an invite with a child added in call them immediately, apologize for confusion, and explain the child is not invited.

I know people that won't understand the invitation if it says "To Mr and Mrs" or "To Mr and Mrs and family". I know the age restriction is tricky however there are many people with babies and I don't want kids screaming and running around. I was debating on putting "Adults only". Not sure

13 year olds aren't adults. Adult only would be 18 plus.

Caitlyn, no.

You address it only to the parents "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". You can also have a line that says "2 seats have been reserved in your honor".

My aunt is still seething over receiving an invite from one of my cousins where she drove home the no kids point by scribbling in "21 AND OLDER ONLY!!!" in really big letters. All they had to do was say "Mr. and Mrs. LastName" and they would have gotten the point.

To add to @FMD's comment, make sure the 13 rule does not break up any families (ex. one child is over 13 and the others in the same family are under 13). We only invited our nieces and nephews since they were children in our immediate families.

Do not put anything on your invitation regarding no kids. Simply address the invitations to the individuals invited. On your response cards state something to the effect of "____ seats have been reserved in your honor" and then fill in the amount on the response card when you send out the invitation.

1: Put it on your wedding website as an age limit. Mine reads: Though we would love to celebrate with everyone who has touched our lives we are making our night of celebration an adult only affair allowing only guests 21 and up

2: Address your invites as: Mr and Mrs Smith NOT Smith Family

3: on your RSVP cards have it say: We have reserved 2 seats in your honor

If anyone writes in extra then you call them directly and explain (See the wedding website quote for an idea of what to say )

The lady who did my invitations did:

Below is the translucent notecard that I will put on top of the RSVP card in the glittered band.

Dear family and friends,

Respectfully, this is an adult only wedding,

please make other arrangements for children under 21.

We look forward to celebrating with you,

Jessica and Matthew

Thank you for all of your ideas. I do have a wedding website and I will make note to put it on there as well. I appreciate very ones input!
