Ok, invites just got in and I had a question about how to word the addressing on them. We are having an adult only reception, and it says so on the reception insert on the invitation.
Children are welcomed at the ceremony. In fact I would love to see all of the kids there! I just don't know how to word the invites.
Can I mail them to Mr and Mrs and Family? Or should they just be mailed to Mr. and Mrs. to avoid confusion?
Re: Wording Question
Expect a lot of people to bring children to the reception if you're making it known they're welcome at the ceremony.
258 invited
182 can't wait to party
76 are missing all the fun
[QUOTE]Putting adults only on your invitations was incorrect, but<strong> that ship has sailed. </strong> The invitation is for the entire event (ceremony and reception), so address the invitation to the people you are inviting to the entire event, ie the parents.

<div>Yes, I know that putting "Adults Only Reception" was not the most etiquitte-friendly action. Oh well, I knew that when I did it and for admitily selfish reasons I did it anyway! And as you said that ship sailed! </div><div>
</div><div>Thanks for the advice ladies, I will make sure they are addressed just to the Mr and Mrs. X!!</div>
I put adult reception on my reception insert. Do I care if its "etiquette" or not? Hell no! To answer your question.... I think you should put Mr. & Mrs. X.
