Wording help??

[Clair82]

Okay, so i am sooo over invitations!!

My new prob is that we arent having any children at our wedding (much to the disgust of some guests, hopefully they won't come if they feel that ****ty about it) but how do i word this tactfully on the invitation so they really do get the hint??!!

Does No children sound really harsh? Or does anyone have anything else they think would be more suitable??

Thanks

I think just stating the names of the guests on the invites is enough. And make sure your RSVPs only say for those on the invite.

Most people should take the hint.

Maybe some thing like due to the venue and numbers we unfortunately cannot invite children

[Sideways Sally]

We told ppl by word of mouth and only put the name of the invited guests on the invitation.

Thanks ladies!! I was having a stress attack over it all!!

Why is it that people do things to criticise and moan about the things that u do and why should people stick their nose in when its none of their business!! It's different when the shoe is on the other foot!!

Sorry thats just my vent for the day!! I think i need to have a break from the wedding!!

I think i have decided to put on the RSVP cards something like number of adults attending.

Bloody family!!

even if you put the names of the ppl, they STILL bring their kids, or RSVP for them! it has happened to us. anyway... putting something like "by managements request, no children under 16" or something like that.

u can also send a card out in advance or with the invite explaing that due to the exspence and atmosphere of the event that u will not be able to invite children. it is also a great idea to put in a list of accommadation that has babysitting facilities. that way they know that u still want the parents to come and have done a little extra to make it easier for them.

we decided to invite kids as we didnt want alot of hassel and we invited like 30 kids. so hope i dont regret it!!!!

also where on the invite u put dress code also put adult reception?? just an idea

we told ppl that children were welcome at ceremony but reception was over 18's only by word of mouth.

We have told people that children aren't invited to the reception but more than welcome to the ceremony (and have had some many people complain).

we are just putting the people invited on the invites (adults names only) and will put something on the RSVP card to say that unfortunately children aren't invited to attend the reception due to number restrictions but we would love for them to be at the ceremony or something like that anyway.

We are doing word of mouth already that no children are invited. People so far have been pretty happy with this, but I am lucky as FH's immediate family don't really like kids so they stand up for us.
