Like with many other couples, finalizing the guest list was the most difficult part of the wedding planning to date. My FMIL is the youngest of 7 children, so my FH has many many cousins and second cousins, very few of which are close to him.
Our location is capped at 150, and the only way to keep our guest count anywhere close to that was to not invite children (other than the nieces and nephew of my FH). This rule really has nothing to do with them being children (I really don't care if a baby cries during the ceremony or anything like that), we just can't physically accommodate them all, especially since neither of us have met most of them.
I'm already planning on addressing the invites to just the adults in the house, but those don't go out for awhile and most of our guests are coming from out of town and might start planning the trip soon.
Any suggestions of how to politely mention on our wedding website that we can't accommodate children? I don't like the idea of calling it an "Adult Reception" because it sounds more X rated than sans children. I'd also like to get the sentiment across that we wish we could include children, but that there simply won't be enough room.
Thanks for the thoughts...
