    Only address them to adults.  When the parents rsvp with kids, you call them.

    You CAN'T.  Not unless you want to be tacky.  Address the invite to the adults only.  If they try to RSVP with their rugrats in tow, call them and politely explain that you just don't have enough room for their crotch fruit.

    She must be the only person to ever have a wedding without kids.

    I'm from DE, with some of us from outside of Philly (some from PA others from SJ) DH is from Long Island.This was a non-issue for us.  If your name was on the invite you were invited, if not you were not..Pretty simple if you ask me.  






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    She must be the only person to ever have a wedding without kids.Yes.  You see, I predicted she would ask this question and so it was added to the FAQ for when the time arrived.

    I think it all started with that damn bridge.  Cross that and you're doomed!

    I stole my friend's wording and wrote: Please RSVP to our adult reception, or something along those lines. Steer clear of saying "No kids allowed." My family needed it all laid out. They're not bright. We did that, and we addressed it to only those invited (duh), but family still didn't get it. My mom still got phone calls asking "Hey, (so-and-so) didn't get an invite" or "Did you forget to put (so-and-so)'s name on the invite??" My mom didn't do a whole lot for the wedding...but I was thankful that she stepped up and took the responsibility to straighten out the "confusion." After all was said and done, some people still brought their kids, but I'd say 95% got it. Every family's different.

    Only address to adults with no mention of kids. If RSVP back for kids you call and explain it simply is not possible to include the muchkins
