Help!!Today we had a friend stop by (non wedding matter) but they dropped off their RSVP....the only problem is, the adults were invited...invite said Mr & Mrs Xxxxxxx, and they've RSVP'd to include their children!! To make matters worse when we dropped the invitation off in person, they asked if the kids were included and we both said no. No idea how to handle this...the only children invited are in the wedding party...

    At my first wedding, I had an entire branch of the family not come because we didn't invite their children! Tell them personally that this is an adult only event except for the wp. Don't fuss if they decide not to come. You really won't miss them.

    I agree with what has been said by the other ladies. Just let them know that as previously discussed children are not invited to the wedding so they should make sure they have a plan in place. Very annoying when people do things like this!

    You would think that receiving the invitation with ONLY the adults names AND being told there were no kids invited (we didn't tell them about the wedding party kids) that they would have gotten the 'hint'. Things might change in the next 8 weeks. They can show up with their kids and be embarrassed when there are NO other children (besides the wp kids) in attendance. Yep, I'm still po'd.

    Agreed. Just simply tell them you have a no children rule so it wouldn't be fair. Don't know they'd forget that tho since they asked specifically Hahah but hopefully it is just a slip of the mind. Thankfully they put it on the rsvp and didn't just show up with them lol

    I agree with Lyz. I would just contact them right away and let them know. If they push back say it's not fair for us to include your children when we've said no to everyone else. If they refuse to come without their children say, we're sorry you won't be able to make it.

    Hopefully they just forgot and it wasn't an intended slight. I don't know why you'd want to bring your kids to a wedding. It seems like more work for them!

    I would just message them as soon as possible and mention that you noticed they RSVPd for the kids, but sadly it's an adults only event and they will need to try and find a sitter. Smiley sad
    sorry they clearly didn't listen
