Hello!
I'm from Utah (land of weddings) so etiquette here is often overlooked or ignored, so I'm honestly flying blind when it comes to invitations. I plan to design our invitations since I do a lot of graphic design for work and enjoy that type of thing. I'm thinking of doing an invitation, separate picture, and 1 details card with ceremony/reception address & RSVP website info all tied together with some ribbon. I don't want kids at the wedding except close family, so I have decided that all 5 nieces will be my flower girls and that's it!
I really don't love the idea of explicitly saying Adults Only on our invites... I'm worried some parents might be annoyed or offended by that, plus to me it just doesn't look great. SO! Do you think I need to add "We have __ seats reserved in your honor" on the details card? I have "Due to limited venue space, the ceremony & reception is adults only. We hope you understand!" written on our website. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings right from the start! But I am worried that since Utah weddings are typically very casual and quick, that some guests might overlook the note on my website, ignore the fact that they didn't choose a dinner option for their kid on the online RSVP, and bring them anyways. Am I being dramatic? Or has anyone had this same problem? I would especially like to hear opinions from some parents!
