    We are going to put, “we have reserved ____ spots in your honor” so on people we don’t want to invite their kids, we’re just writing 2 in the blank

    Just FYI we did this and my single cousin who has a daughter wanted to bring her. I had to put a comment on the details page, and he still asked my mom.

    I put on the back of my invitations that is an adult only event. You can also tell your parents and wedding party to help spread the word

    Well, I had my RSVPS say # of adults. Unfortunately people wrote in “and 2 kids” and we had to call. So I think either way people will try to add kids lol I also put it on our wedding website

    We are including a details card and on it, it will say "while we love your children, this event will be an adult only event. 21+". If you aren't going to have a detail card then maybe you can put it on the bottom or back of your invite.

    My cousin addressed their wedding which
    was included in print " We love all kids they're very special" However, this is an adult only affair. It written something along that line.Only kids invited was in the wedding.

    My RSVP cards had the invited person’s name on them and I still had someone ✍️“bringing Daughter and Grandson” on it. Her Son is coming, so she could ride with him.

    There’s always that one person that will try you. FH said, “Let them come”. 😒So, I sat them all at different tables.

    Then she called me the next week to let me know that they actually wouldn’t be able to attend. (Yay!!!)

    What is wrong with people?!

    Word of mouth mostly but since we have some hard headed guests, we included a card with all the invitations that were going to people with kids that said something along the lines of...

    Parents, we want you to fully enjoy our wedding so we are requesting that all children be left at home. We hope that you are still able to attend.

    Address the save the date and invite to just the parents, so "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" then on the RSVP card put "___ out of ___ attending" and fill out the second line before sending it with "2". On your wedding website under FAQs, you could put "Are children invited? This will be an adults only event".
