Theknot Website Help

There is no tactful way to describe who is not invited. If people try to RSVP for uninvited guests (including children) follow-up with something short like "Thank you for RSVPing, unfortunately the invitation was only for you and Mrs. Smith. Hope we will see the 2 of you there!". Dress code is not a thing you need to worry about - adults can dress themselves and will take cues based on the formality of the invitation and venue.

The other event info I would put on a separate card in your actual invitation. So many people don't check wedding websites, i think it's necessary to include if you want people to know about it.

I created a separate tab for FAQs on my website with The Knot. For an adult only wedding, I've seen the following for the FAQ page:

"Q: Can I bring my kids?

A: While we would love to include the little ones, this is an adult-only celebration due to our guest count limitations" or something like that

I also have the dress code in my FAQs. You'd be surprised how many people think "semi-formal" means jeans and a polo shirt, people don't always pick up on cues.

A: The dress code is semi-formal. Think of your "Sunday best" and please no jeans. We also request that our guests please avoid wearing white or any similar colors."

Hope this helps!

I'm in the process of finishing it up before we send out our save the dates so it's not public just yet. I did find this past brides website in an old discussion and I used her FAQs as a guideline, along with a few articles. Didn't use every single one, just the ones that applied for us, but I really liked the one she has about guest photography so I added my own "unplugged ceremony" twist to it lol

Here's her link! https://www.weddingwire.com/weddings/3561005/wedding_new_website#!/website/2893650#website-page-2893650

We used The Knot, but we invited children. I'd just address save the dates & invites to the exact people invites, then fill out the ___ on the RSVP card to show them who is invited. Our FAQs when under "Details". Here is what we put in regards to children & plus ones:

Can I bring my kids?

Of course! On your invitations, we wrote in a number we expected to come from your family. If that number included more than just you, then yes, bring your kids! The venue has a kid's room as well, The Nanny Brigade will be in the room for adult supervision with crafts & games if your children are interested. A kid's meal will be provided by our caterer for kid's 10 and under (or kid's over 10 who request the meal).

We addressed our invitations to our guests & their significant others. If we forgot to add yours, please text the bride.

We also did unhosted additional gatherings, so we had this on our FAQs:

The bride & groom will be in the hotel bar at the Marriott on Friday night, around 7:30 PM! We will hang out for an hour or so, so feel free to stop by and see us before the big day! We will also be eating breakfast Sunday morning around 9 AM in the hotel, another chance to say goodbye before we head to Hawaii!

And we had this under "Our Wedding" then "Other Events". We also mentioned it on a "details" card in our invites.

Groom & Bride will be hanging out in the hotel bar for awhile on Friday evening at the Marriott around 7:30 PM, so feel free to head down & say hi before the big day if you're at the hotel by then!

Before the new husband & wife head off to Hawaii for their honeymoon, they will eat breakfast in the hotel. Feel free to stop by & say goodbye! Breakfast is served by the hotel from 7:00 - 11:00 AM and their menu can be found online.

The Knot has an "attire" tab you can turn on so we put "Semi-Formal (Cowboy boots encouraged!)". I prefer when they state how formal the wedding will be so I know what to wear. Where we live (Denver) there is a huge mix of jeans & cowboy shirts or slacks & button downs but they could be held at the exact same venues with the same invites. I prefer to know what the bride & groom are hoping for attire-wise.
