Children at receptiion???

So is it fair for me to say I'm having an adult reception but people that are in the wedding can bring their children and family can as well? I'm afraid it may seem a little shady if I send out invites that say adult reception and then when guests get there there's like 15 kids. My mother seems to think its okay. What are your thoughts???

Don't do it!

Just address the envelope to the people invited and leave it at that. If they respond with children you have to call them and tell them it was only for the adults in the household. Just be prepared that some of those people may then not come at all if they can't bring their kids.

squirrly

You should never put "Adult Reception" on your invites.  It's just not proper.  Address the invitation to the guests who are invited, and that's sufficient.  If that includes some people's children but not all, so be it.  I think having the line at WP & family kids is really very suitable.
