No kids... except our nephews and nieces. Is this rude?

I think it’s perfect acceptable to only invite your nieces and nephews, but I wouldn’t put adults only affair on anything if it won’t actually be adults only.

Agree with this. You can refrain from inviting other children without calling it adults only.

Makes sense. Thank you!

Yes... i'll just leave that part out. Thank you!

Nope I don't think it's rude. PPs make a good point also.

The only kids I’m having are in my wedding (niece and small cousins) that I’m very close to. I think people actually appreciate a nice “grown ups” night out anyway! I told my friend this, who has two young kids, and she said “I didn’t want to bring them anyway!” Haha

Perfectly acceptable! We are doing only kids in the wedding party at our wedding

The only kids we're having are our flower girl, 2 ring bearers, and my fiance's godson. My FG is my best friend's daughter and the ring bearers are my fiancé's nephews. While he may not be in the wedding, his godson is very important to my FH, and he is on the spectrum so we want to keep options open to mom and dad.

So far no one has had a problem with our "no kids" rule, in fact many are looking forward to a night away.

To be consistent, put your nieces & nephews in the wedding party.

It is okay to have no kids other than your nieces and nephews. But it is rude to indicate, adults only, when your family children are coming. Just don't invite other people's children. And if there is an issue, deal with it invitation by invitation. You can respond to a general friend, sorry, we only invited the two of you, not the children. But to announce adults only, and then have some children, people will feel lied to, and people get angry when they feel lied to. No need to announce adult only, to everyone.

We just had my nieces and nephews and they weren't in the wedding (I didn't want kids in my WP). We didn't indicate an adults only. We just invited couples by name and if asked we would say, just nieces and nephews. A couple of cousins tried to get their kids an invite, but we just said no to keep it consistent. It would only be rude if you invited your sisters kids and not your brothers kids for example, but if it's all nieces and nephews with no other kids, then you are fine, but agree with PP to not put adults only on the invitation.

Its not rude at all! The only kids allowed at our wedding are the 3 that are in the wedding party. It is your wedding so you get to dictate who is and isn't there!

Leave the "adults only" off. If someone with kids ask if they can bring their kids, and you don't want them to, just say no.
