Poll: How many mom's are offended by kid free weddings?

DO. NOT. PUT. IT. ON. YOUR. INVITE.

Because it sounds mean, and every person has their own idea of what an "adult' is.

Invite the specific people you want to invite.

I am nana to 6 of the most gorgeous grandkids on the earth and I am all for kid free weddings!

We are doing semi kid free wedding. My MOH and I are currently pregnant and are due several months before the wedding.

Her children and my baby will be at the wedding and reception as well as my FH and my cousins and his nephew (who will be in the wedding)

Unless they are immediate family or in the bridal party, they can't bring their children to the reception.

@Erica I think that if you invite anyone under 18 in a family, you should invite their siblings as well. I understand that you're treating teens like adults, but they're not adults and if 13-year-old Jane gets an invite, then her 15-year-old brother should as well.

Age 21 and up, our legal drinking age @Erica. We lucked out in that 1st cousins were 18 and under or 23 and over. Our venue didn't give any discount, for 5 hours of open bar; they charged the full, adult rate for guests 13 and up plus anyone under 13, who wanted an adult entree.

One of the cousins got in trouble the following year, for underage (16 years) drinking, so we're glad we didn't have to deal with that. Our venue had the right to ask for a photo ID, every time a guest went up to the bar, had we invited younger guests.

I'm not a mom. But I interviewed some of my co-workers on this and they said, "Please do not invite our children."

I'm in no way offended by kid free weddings. We are only have kids who are in the wedding attend, but other than that no kiddies aloud. I wouldn't put it on the invite, but put it on your website. Make sure your invites are only address to the people invited and have your RSVPs the same way. I actually don't mind the night off thing either!

I haven't read all the comments yet, but I wouldn't be offended at all. In fact, I automatically find a babysitter when we are invited to a wedding because, yay, free time for mommy...

I have a daughter and would not be offended if it was a kids free wedding. Like most have said even if she were to be invited, I would opt to go just me and my fiancée. I don't think putting it on the invite is necessary. We are having a few kids at ours just because of my step daughter and family members we want there that can't afford babysitting and coming from out of town. When we sent out the save the dates I addressed some envelopes as Mr and Mrs for the adults of the household I was inviting to come and other to the *blank* family giving a hint that whole household was invited. I set up my guest RSVP to be electronic as well as doing paper ones when I mail out the invites so even those that don't get the memo will be well aware if their kids are invited or not.

Kids do not want to go to your wedding.

We are having a kid free wedding. We haven't sent out any notice on that as of yet but I have verbally told a few people who seem to be okay with it.

I love kids & I am having my kids and plenty of others at my wedding. With that being said it is not for everyone. I would not be & am not offended when I get an invite for an adult only invite. I have been to several weddings were I have had to find sitters for my boys because it was an adult only reception.

I never thought about this as I am also planning my wedding, our kids are 4 and 10, the oldest is looking forward to come to our wedding I think we will plan a kid free event and having them enjoying their own evening with their cousins and special activities with childcare.

I see nothing wrong with it. My old co worker did this. Children in her family stayed and her son. But she asked all other guests to find a sitter cuz she didn't want it to be crazy with kids everywhere. I think that's very reasonable. Ill probably be doing the same

I agree with PPs, don't include that message on your invites. Just write out the name of each person that you'd like to come: John and Jane Smith, as opposed to The Smith Family, as that's where ambiguity comes in. But, in the case of people who will need to travel to your wedding and have children, if their kids aren't invited, expect them not to come. Their options are leave their children at home for the weekend, or find a babysitter in a town they're not familiar with, neither is a fun option.

I'm not offended by "kid-free" weddings. I'm offended when you don't treat me like an adult and just address the invite to FH and I and allow us to make our decisions on childcare and whether it's worth it for us to come.

Keep in mind that if there is a gap, your wedding is out of town or in the middle of nowhere and my kid isn't invited, chances are greater that I'll decline no matter how much I love you.

I am not a mother, although I cannot imagine feeling offended if my children are not invited. It may make a difference on if I could attend or not as other people have said. Factors that may affect people attending would be how far it is, how old are the kids, how many kids do they have to bring with them, etc. I agree with others though, no need to put that on the invitation.

I'm a mom and I see absolutely nothing wrong with a kid free wedding. I don't actually understand why that in itself would be offensive.

Our RSVP cards stated "We respectfully request no children"

I have only had one person be offended by that and she would be offended by ANYTHING!!!

I'm having an "adult reception to follow" the ceremony, if you soften up your language I don't think anyone will see it as offensive. My sister did the same for her oct 2014 wedding: no issues
