Many people are rsvping with their children. I took many steps to try to avoid this, I only included the names of those invited on the inner envelopes. I am having an evening wedding/reception but some morons are still bringing their kids/teenagers. How am I suposed to handle this? Help!!!!!
Call them and let them know that it's an adult only reception. Don't however let them talk you into letting the kids come-stand your ground
I would call them up and let them know that it is an adult only reception.
i had to call my cousin and tell him that if i let him bring his kids i would have to let everyone do it. He understood, so hopefully your family will to. I still can't believe that people who have gone through the whole wedding planning process do this type of thing! i mean come on!!
You can either call them or write a note to them and state that you are only having an adult reception. Trust me I am having the same problem.
Definitely call them to advise them.
As much as you may not want to call them I'm going to have to say you have to. They may not like it, but you tried to be tactful about it.
YIKES!! Call them AsAP!
This is always a difficult conversation to have with guests. You'll have to call your guests to inform them that children are not invited. Be strong, you can do this !!

I am stuck with this too. a friend (not family) replied with their kid. When I had someone mention to her that it we were doing children in the wedding, her response was that kids don't pay. when informed that kids do pay & quite alot at my place. She actually called my reception hall to seeI wasn't there, but i was insulted. AT least now people see that yes. kids don't eat for FREE. & they add quite a lot to the bill of which we are paying for.
I thought I would have some issues with family.. not friends.
ugh

My dad made a good point when i told him i was worried about this...he said if they have the audacity to respond with extra people then you should feel totally comfortable calling and putting them on the spot to say that they aren't invited. They made it awkward so now they have to deal with it. If it happens to me i am calling people and politely saying that just the two of them were invited...
