Im having a small wedding so i would like to just invite certain people, and also i don't like some of my friends kids because they disobey and are destructive, I don't want my friends to be yelling at their children during the ceremony to behave. What is etiquette to phasing invite only and possibly no children to some without hard feelings. Please help

    Address the invitation to the parents only. If they RSVP for kids, call them and explain that it's a child-free wedding.

    We need a sticky for this question or something. I can't count the number of times this question has been asked.

    ETA: There IS a sticky with this question! Doesn't anyone read the FAQ before posting?

    If you read it, why did you ask the question that's already answered in the sticky?

    This advice seems kinda lame when you read it, but this truly does work. Although I invited children I forgot that my Aunt had taken in her granddaughter's half sister (after their mother died) and my Aunt wasn't going to bring her without checking with me first since she wasn't on the invitation!

    Sn<strong>a</strong>rky you mean.


    Between this question and the one about adding registries to invitations, we would save on a lot of unnecessary posts.
