Morning WW Canada Smiley heart

The decision to invite children or not to invite children to a wedding its a personal choice made by bride and groom. And the always question is: how to indicate in the invitations that childrens are not invited?

Let's see diferente ways to do it Smiley smile

1. Address the invitation to adults only: your guests should not assume that children are invited if the envelope is addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Williams.” You can also include an RSVP card that reads, “We have reserved _ seats in your honor”.

2. Be simple and go straight to the point: Indicate on the invitation children are not allow with one of these exaplmes:

- Adult only reception

- Adult reception

- This invitation is extended to adults only

3. Handle the situation gently with a nice message:

- Sweet dreams to children under 17.

- Though we love to see the children run and play, this is an adults-only type of day.

- To give our guests the chance to relax and have a great time without worrying about little-people ears and eyes, we kindly request no children.

Note: To avoid confusion, you many need to verbally confirm with your guests and let them know that you are not expecting any children.

    We are definitely having an Adults only wedding and I have even mentioned this to several of my friends who have kids. I made it known that we just want all of our guests relaxed and able to have a carefree day with us; I have yet to have any pushback from this.

    We will probably include a note about it being an adults-only ceremony & reception to avoid any confusion for those that we don't talk to more often.

    Great tip. We are having a few kids at our wedding . I have a 10 years old son from my previous relationship so it's important to us that he is part of the wedding and party.Smiley ring

    Great tips. I have 9 & 10 yr old sons and 4 grandchildren who will be in attendance so this doesn't apply to us.

    We are just addressing our envelopes to the couple/ person invited and not "the smith family". I expect most to take the hint....the hour that our even is happening is also a bit telling I think.

    I will address the question/ issue directly with anyone if it comes up, but I don't expect issues!
