What to say when...

Shaylah, on February 10, 2020 at 11:21 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 9
What would you say to someone who assumes their kids are invited to your wedding? I just got a message saying that they are confirming their attendance but they included their child and I want to make sure they know it is no kids... #awkward

    Did your invites specify who was invited on the envelope & a # of people invited on the RSVP card? I'd just politely respond saying you hope they can still make it but you aren't including kids at your wedding.

    I would respond back and say something like “we are so excited you are able to join us, however, there are no kids invited to the wedding. I’m hoping you have enough time to arrange a sitter, but if not we understand”.

    I sent it to who was invited...I guess I was thinking I’d put the kids on the address label with the parents if they were invited but when they come to the website to respond it is only the parents...if that makes sense. I’m not sure if they even went to look at our website so that doesn’t help....

    We had a person do that and we just said “sorry but we aren’t having kiddos at the wedding, we hope you’re still able to join us.”

    “Sorry for the confusion but our wedding is actually adults only. I hope you’ll still be able to attend!”

    If there was nothing specifically saying that it was a kid free wedding, I can see why people are including their children. Just let them know that you apologize for the misunderstanding but you are having a kid free wedding but hope they are still able to attend.

    Thanks everyone! I know I could have been more specific but I figured once they saw the website and saw that it was just them...that it would just be them. Oh well, I broke it to them nicely! Thanks for the help!!!

    I agree with everyone here and please stand firm. Some people won't come if their kids are not invited (I don't understand this AT ALL) and say well sorry we will miss you! Two less people to pay for!

    If the invitation was addressed to "Mr and Mrs xxxx", that implies adults only. If kids are invited it would say "and family ". You were specific.
