The right wording...

How can I write in my invitation that no young children are allowed at my wedding? That's including my younger cousins and not including my sister who is 12. Is that unfair and I  am also not inviting a few members of my family simply because I can't afford to have them eat at my reception...  I just don't want a bunch of children running around destroying my day.. Is this selfish.. I just really need a way to word it. I don't want any of you ladies to sugar coat your opinions! Give it to me straight, no chaser...

Did you read the facts that mica posted on the top post?

We also decided to exclude young children at our wedding, and had our reception cards state "Adult Reception" with the time and location, along with only addressing the parents/adults on the envelope. And as said in an earlier post, worst comes to worst, you'll have to call and explain your decision. I'm sure no one would be upset in having an evening out with their husband/wife while the kiddies are home with a relative or babysitter.

I'm thinking that children ages 12 years and up can attend and that the younger siblings can be with a babysitter?? Is that so wrong it's still my day and if I have to bring out bridezilla I will!I'meven offering to pay for a babysitter just so that they can not disrupt my wedding or get my dress dirty!!
