What is the sweetest and nicest way to respond to the question "Are kids invited to your wedding?"

So we just sent out the invitations over the weekend. My mother forbid me to put the "we have reserved 2 seats in your honor" nonsense on the RSVP card because she claimed that EVERYONE would understand if you wrote just Mr. & Mrs. So-and-so on the front AND the inner envelope that it would be clear...

So we just sent out the invitations over the weekend.

Well we got our first question about it, over FB of course. What's the nicest and sweetest way to so "no" to that? I feel so awkward about it.......

    Nope. Just leave it. Sunshine said it best - there's no explanation needed.

    I only had one person ask. I replied, "It's not really going to be a kid friendly event and the venue is quite dangerous (which it was)." Then she shouts out ( 2 months before the wedding), "I can't come, then. Someone has to stay with Nathan." I called her bluff, and told her that was sad and I would miss her. She was there and the most rowdy guest at my wedding.

    @ Ashleigh. You are lucky. I feel like we are going to get this question a lot and/or people writing in extra #'s for their kids on the RSVP's. Ugh.

    @ Jennifer- we put, " we have opted to have an adults only event with the exception of immediate family"
