need some feedback and suggestions on this. We ordered our wedding invites and did not write 'Adult Reception' anywhere. Fh and I love love kids but bc his family has TONS of kids...no joke! and we didn't want to pick and choose which kids to invite and not, we decided to make it simple and only invite the kids in our Bridal Party. However, we didn't write 'Adult Reception' anywhere on the invite and now some people are telling us we may have a big problem. However, I figure, on the RSVP card, each couple or person invited will put their names and then if there is a problem I could always give a call and let them know it's adult only. This is kinda stressing me out now. The last thing I want is people to be offended or any problems. Any suggestions??

Re: Invite problem
When you send the Invites, address it to only the parents. Instead of saying 'The Smith Family' just say Mr. and Mrs Smith maybe.

Re: Invite problem
I agree. The wording of the address label on the envelope determines who is invited. So if you just put Mr. & Mrs. so and so, that indicates that only the parents are invited. If you put 'The so and so Family' that means you are also inviting children. This is exactly what we did for our e-party, and everyone got the point without question.

Re: Invite problem
We did not specify 'adult reception' on our invites, and no one assumed their kids were invited. Hopefully you won't run into this problem either, but if you do, you'll just have to deal with it on a need be basis, and don't feel guilty about making yourself clear if it comes up.
