    Technically, you aren't supposed to write who you are excluding from the wedding on the invites.  You address the invites to only those invited (Mr. and Mrs. John Smith instead of The Smith Family) and then inform uninvited guests (or their parents, if they are children) that you can't accomodate them.

    But, unless you have the money to reprint, I guess you'll just have to live with it.

    How hard would it be for you to reprint them?

    If you've already printed them, I'd just leave it.  Take it off your website though.

    leave it!  Even though people SHOULD know who's invited by the names on the envelope, many are clueless. So whether it's proper or not, they have no excuses now! If you hadn't printed yet, my advice may have been different, however, I don't think it's worth re-doing. I don't think it's big enough for you to have to stress about! :)

    I'd redo it.  But, I designed my own and could reprint easily.

    I think it's pretty tacky to have that on the invite...

     That said, there are far worse infractions I've seen regarding wedding etiquette that as a guest I would not hold this minor one against you.  Assuming this is the only infraction you make.






    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.

    If this is the only thing done, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

    But your invitation is the first impression guests will get of your wedding.  If you can get them reprinted, it's a smart thing to do.

    I am including a reception card in with our invites and I wrote the same thing in small font.  Mainly because some people just don't get it.  I don't know any of the people invited by my soon-to-be mother in-law and even though I have said over and over again NO kids, somehow 3 kids still got invited that I know of.  I am  worried on who else may show up that I have to pay for!

    My brother got married last year and a couple brought 3 of their teenage kids who had not been invited.
