my fiance and i are hesitant to invite some children to the wedding and reception. it will be a friday evening ceremony with dinner and then reception to follow through the night. i have cousins that are mature 12 year old and i want them to come. but i feel it would be rude to exclude immature 12 year old children of my friends that arent family... is there a phrase that will help in the invitationsn do we talk to the parents and tell them not to bring the kids. and younger children than 12 or babies are too young i think too... we want our friends to enjoy themselves and not have to watch everything their kid is doing. help

Re: Inviting Kids?
[QUOTE]thank you everyone for their input. yes i see how best to address the invites for my group of families and friends. i am close enough and rspectable enough that i will address the names of those invited. and then i can speaek with those that might get confused...<strong> my main concern looking forward is that noone is offended by not being able to bring their children</strong>. and weddings are great for children just not all children.

<div>I think as long as you make it clear that this is a general rule for all children people should be understanding - you're fully within your rights to exclude children if you want to, and it sounds like you're planning to handle it quite tactfully. GL!</div>
