I’m in the early stages of planning out wedding invitations and I know I want to state that we will not be having children unless immediate family at our wedding. I will definitely be putting “we have reserved x seats in your honor” but how would I explicitly state that we will not be including children? And where would I put that information?

    We did an inner and outer envelope.

    Outer envelop would just be the adults i.e. "Mr. & Mrs. John Smith"

    The inner envelope then listed everyone who was invited, i.e John, Jane, Jimmy, Jan

    This is my BIGGEST fear. I like the idea of the note in the envelope rather than a general message on the invitation.
    It’s so strange to me that people feel so entitled to question a bride on her and her husband’s day about why they needed a babysitter 🙄 I wish people like that would just stay home haha. You didn’t HAVE to come

    In the detail card, I added “As much as we love children we unfortunately cannot accommodate them”. I made sure to touch base with friends with kids to reiterate this and the majority of guests said they prefer to enjoy the wedding instead of watching their kids at the wedding
