Wedding Invitations & Paper

Wording on Wedding Invitations

My fiance and I have decided that we are not going to have kids at the wedding. Ages 17 & under. (I apologize in advance to anyone who is offended by this). What would be the correct wording to put on the invitation? Also if anyone has any websites they can refer me to for invitations that would be greatly appreciated! I have been ordering samples from a few places and I am beyond disappointed. I live in Brooklyn, NY if anyone knows of any places we can actually go to in person to see samples. Thanks!

Re: Wording on Wedding Invitations

  • You don't put anything about who is not invited on the invitation.  You address it to the adults, not the children.  If people are dense and RSVP for extra guests, you call them and explain.  

    As for invitations, I DIYed, so I don't have any recs.  
  • You don't state there is a limit of any type on the invitation. You address the invitation to the people who you want to attend. As prior poster said, if they RSVP for more than you invited, you politely call them and explain the invitation was for X and Y, not the children.

    To your left there are "local wedding boards". As far as finding a place to look in person, post that on the board local to where you live and they should be able to help.
  • make a seperate reception card that says  adult  reception immediately following the ceremony" or An Adult Affair. I've received those before so I'm sure others have also and you could also fill in the response card already with 2 for the mrs and mrs so they cannot bring any extra guests. Otherwise use word of mouth on both sides of the family. I wouldn't get offended, Good luck

  • I think it is extremely rude to call and tell them that they can't bring their children if the RSVP doesn't state "no children or adults only".

    I know etiquette says otherwise but I would be really offended if I RSVP'd with my children and later received a call saying they couldnt come.

    And most adults are usually happy to leave the kids at home and have a "grown up night"
