Invitation wording - Adults only

It's rude to say who is not invited on the invitation. So the best way to approach this is to only address it to those invited, and then on the RSVP card write "There are ___ seats reserved in your honor" so they would know that it was only for the two of them and not their three kids or something as an example.

Mariah for the win.

You put all of that in place and you practice telling people that you can't accommodate kids when they add them.

Or you could just add an insert that says, "Uninvited children will be fed espresso and chocolate and sent home with a puppy."

Thanks ladies! This is just what I was looking for

Help! I'm struggling with this as well! We are doing RSVPing online but we are including an enclosure card with basic additional info and where to RSVP. I'm assuming I should put something there but I'm not sure how to put it. :/ Any suggestions? Thanks!

It does not get mentioned in the invitation. You address the envelope to the adults and that's it.

However, you can do what Mariah suggested on the RSVP card if you believe your guests are dense. I did not do that and none of my guests added their kids.

@kim, my online RSVP has something where you can "lock" your RSVP or something. And it means only those who are on your guest list can RSVP. There's no option to add guests or anything. It's tedious to type it all in, but but it seems to work!

We are having an adult wedding. Invitations were addressed to the adults, and we asked the moms to share by word-of-mouth that it was an adult wedding. No issues from the guests trying to RSVP with their kids. People get it.

I put "we have reserved ____ adult seats in your honor"
