How to imply
i put 'adult reception' at the top of my reception card. that way no one can say 'but i didn't know i couldn't' when they RSVP for more people then they should!
Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.
I've seen some invitations that keep it simple and straightforward and put 'adults only' at the bottom of the RSVP card. I would prefer not to have children at the wedding except for the 2 that are going to be in the bridal party. Although you would think the address etiquette would be helpful, I just want to make sure people are clear about that lol

I would definitely not print 'adults only' anywhere on the invitation (or the website for that matter) as it's bad etiquette to do so (check out the Emily Post website), but I'm much more of a stickler for etiquette than most. People will understand if you only write Mr. & Mrs. Smith on the invitation and do not include the children's names. If there's any confusion, follow it up with a phone call and explain. The idea of '2 seats have been reserved in your honor' on the response card is a good one as well.
