adults only....

Okay, so I know it is rude to put adults only on your STD's and Invites but what about including on your website?  Also rude?

I don't know what the etiquette is on that but I personally would think it was rude. I think when you address your Save the Dates and the Invites, if you put Mr and Mrs X on them, people will get the hint. If anything, let it be known it's adult only by word of mouth IF people ask.

It is rude to point out who isn't invited to an event, so it is therefore rude to put "Adults only" or anything like that on an STD, invitation, or website.  It is perfectly fine to not invite any children to your wedding.  Just address the STDs and invitations to the people that you want to invite.  If someone RSVPs with their kid(s) then you call them on the phone and say that "I am sorry, but the invitation was only meant for you and your wife.  We cannot accommodate your children.  We hope you can still make it, but we would understand if you can't" sort of thing.

We didn't put "adults only" in writing anywhere but we did let people know by word of mouth well before the invites went out that children outside of the family wouldn't be included on the invite. We did this so people would have time to make arrangements for the weekend if they wished. As other PPs have said, we just addressed it to those who were invited. Ex. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones instead of The Jones Family.

Overall our guests did well with following it. Out of 279 people, only 2 RSVPd for children and 3 added plus ones that didn't have a plus one given to them, we promptly called all of them.

You don't need to post it anywhere. The simple act of addressing invitations to the people who ARE invited negates any need to post something somewhere about who is NOT invited.
