What's a polite way to indicate on your wedding invitations that your ceremony & reception is for adults only, no children?

    Address them only to adults.  That is the one and only way to note who is invited.  There is NO way to indicate who is not invited, other than the absence of their name(s) on the envelopes.

    The other thing you can do if your think your guests are a little dense is put their actual names on the RSVP card, like: 

    John Smith ___ Will attend ___Will not attend
    Jane Smith ___ Will attend ___ Will not attend

    Then just don't put a line for the kids.

    I am sorry to say, but there really isnt one, a nice way of inviting the adults only that is. But every wedding is different and you should do what works for you two and your budget. At the bottom of the invite, just have it read "adults only". It will be just like adding "formal attire' or "black tie" or "white tie" at the bottom of your invite. In this economy, your guest should understand :-)

    That's incorrect hugzenkisses982.

    If you read above, writing anything along the lines of who you aren't inviting is rude.

    Bad news bears.  You shouldn't indicate who is NOT invited.  Just who IS.
