No kid invitations

Molly, on January 23, 2020 at 8:56 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

Does anyone have a picture of their invite that politely states "no kids" somehow? We sent our save the dates out and just addressed them to the people invited, so I'm hoping they get the hint. But we are starting to look at invites and how to word them. any help is great!

thanks Smiley smile

    You should do your invitations the same way. There's no need to mention on an invitation who isn't invited, only who is. Also specify on your RSVP cards how many seats you have reserved for their party.

    I agree with the pp, address and also write how many seats are available. We’re also putting on our wedding website a polite wording about our adults only wedding, and not including it in the invites (all our details and RSVP are online)

    I agree with both pp. My FH and I did the same as Nikki we put our website to RSVP online and we politely said as much as FH and I LOVE children this is an Adult Only wedding and when you go to rsvp it has your name and your plus one name only.

    Mmmmm I agree with the pp's but if you are concerned people may not catch the site I would definitely let them know in the RSVP how many seats but you can nicely mention that they are invited to an adults only wedding.

    We are having an adult only wedding also Smiley smile We didn’t specifically put this on the invitations. Instead, we are requiring everyone RSVP on our wedding website- where it very clearly states where they have to RSVP that it is an adult only event & no guests under the age of 21 will be permitted. It is stated again on the FAQs page as well. When RSVP’ing the guests must put in their names and only themselves and their significant other pops up with the option to RSVP. We have also politely spread the news by mouth to all our guests that have children that, due to venue age restrictions and incredibly limited space, we will not be inviting any children to the wedding or reception. So far it has been well received (with the exception of 1 guest). The parents have all been excited to get away and have adult fun! Having said that though, I would say this is a “know your crowd” sorta situation. If you think these methods would still be too subtle for your guests, then I say put it on the invitations too! There have been several people here on WW that tried the whole “just address it to whoever is invited & they will get the hint” thing, who then had people write in their kids names or just show up with them. I don’t think mentioning that it’s an adult only event in the invite is gasp worthy by any means. Especially if it saves you the awkward conversation of having to call someone who didn’t read the website and writes in their kids name, or shows up with one!
