Invites

Typically, you don't put "adults only" because the wedding invite shouldn't say who isn't invited. I would just address invites to the adults only, so "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Then on the RSVP card put "___ out of ___ attending" and fill out the second line so they know exactly who is invited. We got ours from Zazzle during a 50% off sale.

General etiquette says 6-8 weeks before wedding unless it's destination then it would be more in advance
I've seen people nicely word it as make it a date night, it's adult only reception Or something of the sort

They should go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding. You don’t need to specify on the invitation that it’s adults only, just don’t invite children. Make sure to specify “we have saved _ seats in your honor” on the RSVP card so they can’t RSVP for additional guests. We’re planning to do the all in one invites from Minted.

Have “adult only affair” in small print at the bottom of the invite. Send them out 8-10 weeks before your wedding. The best affordable place is Ann’s Bridal Bargains.

We put "Adult Reception to Follow" on our invites at the bottom! As for sending them out you can do anywhere from 6-10 weeks before, most will say 6-8 but I like giving guests a little more time to RSVP so that's why I say up to 10 weeks out. My wedding is September 28th and I'm sending invites out July 8th with an August 31st RSVP Date.

I addressed invites to just adults names, put “adult only reception to follow” on the invites, used word of mouth, and even put a sweet reminder of adult only “to allow adults to enjoy themselves without little ears and eyes we asked that the reception is adult only” on website and we STILL had people call and ask if their kids could come. I think no matter how obvious you are people will still ask so do what you feel is right for your crowd

Send them out the last week of August or the first week of September. October 10th would make a good "RSVP by" date. I like the wording of "adult only affair".

I created my own on Canva and ordered envelopes and stickers for the back on Amazon. They came out really good. Etsy has some pretty stuff too.

Put something like an adults only affair on it. Addressing it to the mother and father is not going to work. If I sent an invitation to Joy and Jack Smith, they would assume Jimmy, Johnny and Jane were all invited as well. That's just normal where I'm from.

We put adult only reception to follow as well. I know this dang pcs of paper are super annoying.
