As much as we adore kids , we are having an adults only event. Ive googled and seen many people say to write "Adult only reception" etc. But our reception and ceremony are on the same grounds and i doubt anyone will come to the ceremony with their child only to take them to a sitter during the reception. My invitations have the guest's individual names on them as well as a specific number of seats allotted for them. BUT my problem is with the guests who have babies or toddlers who could sit on a lap so they are not technically taking up a seat or plate of food. We have spread the word and it's on the wedding website but some still didn't mention it and brought babies to my bridal shower (Didn't mind it so much at the shower, baby was perfect but at the wedding its a no no for us). So is writing "Adult Only Event" Clear enough or too rude?

    Our rsvp note has each guest name and the amount of seats available. It was a total pain to do them that way but meh owell. But some people may think it's ok to put a toddler or baby on their lap since it's not a seat or meal plate taken so I love the way Mrs high said. Its seriously a huge weight off my shoulders thanks again everyone

    @soontobe I'm glad I could help!! It took FH and I forever to come up with something that didn't make us should like baby haters. We love children but our venue is on a huge horse farm on a cliff and the last thing I need is to worry about children on my big day.
