Re: Invitation question
Usually the guests invited are implied on the addressing of the envelope. So if your envelope says 'The Smith Family,' it's implied that kids are invited. But if it says 'Mr. & Mrs. John Smith,' it means the kids aren't invited.

Re: Invitation question
I agree with Lsorrent. People should understand that when only Mr & Mrs are printed on the invite, it means the kids aren't invited. I would go this route and then deal later with the few that still want to bring their kids. I just don't like the phrase 'Adult Reception,' personally.

Re: Invitation question
Also on the RSVP say 'x seats are reserved in your honor', if they actually read it they will get the message. I might even have each person's name on the card with accepts and regrets below each. LOL. Could it be spelled out clearer??? LOL.

This is how I would word the envelope if children were not invited.
