STD question.. heehee

lnvane00

I just have a question about save the dates... I dont want kids at my wedding.. at all! LOL. I have a huge family that reproduces too frequently, which means A LOT of booger pickers. So anyway.
Is there a way to put that its an "adult only" wedding and reception on the STDs? Or should I just wait to put it with the invitations?and have my mom and FIs mother spread the word about no kids?..

I think it might be weird to include "adult wedding" on the STDs, but that might just be me. I would just have your moms spread the word about no kids, or if you are doing a wedding website I would include the info there.

Yeah and proper etiquette will tell you not to focus on who isnt invited. So when you make your invitations you'll address them to the adults of the family and exclude the children fromt he listing. Also have your parents spread the word for you to make it clear but don't draw attention to it on your invites and don't put it on your STDs.

As far as etiquette goes. Don't put it on STDs or invitations. Put your wedding website on there. That way you can tell people no kids through the website.

I just got an invitation to a wedding from a friend and they had on their invitation adults only.

So it is up to you.

I would not put it on the STDs nor the Invites...I'd put it on your wedding website (if you're doing one). I would also use your mom, MIL and bridesmaids to spread the message by word of mouth.

If you're having an evening wedding, you might be able to use a wordage like this:
"Due to the lateness of the hour, it is requested that parentsmake other arrangements for this children"

However you decide to put it, don't just say "adults only"...find some way to soften it up and make it sound more elegent, then so blunt. Another thought, has anyone else in your family done an "adult only" wedding? If so, what was thier wording?

I would leave it off your std and invitations. As previous poster said it should be about who is invited. If your family does have so many kids maybe see if you can set up a baby sitter for people. That is what we are going to try to do at least. Either in a separate room at the reception or back at the hotel. I have actually given that as a task to my FMIL, hopefully it keeps her busy.

Do it through your website and word of mouth.  You can word it like this:  "We respectfully request that all guests in attendance be at least 18 years of age."  Or something like that.  I wouldn't put it on the invitation or STDs though.

^ I agree 100%


"I have a huge family that reproduces too frequently" ~ This is exactly how I feel about FI's family! But I love children so they'll all be at my wedding... crazy, I know! lol

I just saw this somewhere and the light went on above my head..

What if I do this on the RSVP cards that come with the invitation...

Number of Adults Attending ___
Number of Adults Declining  ___

I would do what Invane said. That is the best way to get your point across who is invited and who is not, without looking rude. That is what I am doing
