Spin Off to Kids at reception question

For those of you who arent having kids at the reception how are you telling people? Is it mean to put it on the invite for the reception? A friend of mine said at her wedding she didnt invite anyones kids just Mr. & Mrs ______ and she said some people just showed up with their kids!

i dont think you should put it on the invites. Just write then Mr. & Mrs. ___ and spread the would that its an adults only wedding.

Thats what I was thinking to do.. I just got nervous when my friend told me that people showed up with their kids after responding just (2) or they responded (4) and when she told them it was no kids they got mad and brought them anyway.. How crazy is that?

Really? What did she do with the kids then if the RH was expecting them?

Thats why on my RSVP I put 'Number of people Invited____'

well what we did to 'hopefully' resolve this situation is on the outer envelope we put:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
and Family

and then on the RSVP card, we wrote:

'We have reserved ___ seats in your honour' and I filled in the number the invite is meant for. They will, like I said, 'hopefully' get the hint and know the kids are not invited.

There are only a few kids that will actually be at the reception, which are the RB and FG and then some exception for FH's family coming in from OOT. But like my second cousins' are not getting invited with their kids. If I did than our guest list would be like doubled!

Yea I have the same problem. I'm going to address the envelopes just to the parents and NOT list 'And Family' and spread the word its adults only! I already have friends telling me that through the grapevine other friends were mentioning bringing their kids. Not to be mean but Heellllll Nooo! I'd prob double my guest amount if I allowed children!
