Children

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to communicate to parents that we prefer not to have children at the wedding/reception. I left it off of my invitation and am choosing to put the info on our wedding wesbite. I can't figure out how to word it or what to say without feeling rude. This is what I have right now: "Children are welcome at the wedding and reception if necessary, but please keep in mind the reception will last late into the night and be aimed towards adults. If it is possible to find a sitter for your little ones, please do."

Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks!

I also had a "no kids allowed policy,"  here's what I had on my FAQ page on the wedding website:

"Please do not bring children under the age of 14 to the ceremony or reception.  The grounds and buildings of Tazer Valley Farm are not equipped or safe for unsupervised children. 

We would like for all of our guests to enjoy their time at our wedding, and not have to worry about watching any kiddos. 

Thank you for your understanding!"

Eh, I wouldn't bother having it on your website (barring any actual age restriction on your venue). If parents respond with children, you can call and let them know. The super rude ones won't bother to read your website anyways!
