Invitation wording

Well, the books say you should only omit the kids names on the inner envelope, and people should realize that the kids are not invited. However, some people don't realize this. For them, you might want to consider putting - 'Adult Reception' on the Reception info, or writing in you RSVP cards like this:

__ seats have been reserved in your honor

And write in a number that doesn't include the kids.

Good luck!

I wouldn't put anything on the invitation, but I'm very Emily Post about these things. ONLY those people listed personally on the inner envelope and invited. You shouond't need to say 'no children' if they don't see thier kid's name, they'll know s/he's not invited, or they'll just ask. i think writing 'no children' , or 'adults only' sounds kind of bad.

I remeber when my cousin got married she had said 'adults only' and people were talking about it a lot and said it sounded really rude, plus in the end, her niece was there, so it kind of offended people. I have another cousin who just didn't invite kids, and no one said anything about it, and there were clearly no kids at the wedding other then FG's.
