Wedding Invitations & Paper

Invitation Wording

I'm trying to figure out how to word and adult only wedding. (Ceremony and Reception) I don't want "adults only reception" to mean 18 and older. I would like to convery 12 or 13 and older. I just don't want the children that run around wild and don't understand when to be quiet and when not.  I am not going to have a flower girl or ring bearer. Any advice?

    <div>The reason you're struggling to figure out how to word it?  There is no polite way.  Address the invitation to those who are invited.  If someone tries to add their under 12 (or whatever age you choose) child to the RSVP, call and tell them that the invitation was only for those it was address to and you unfortunately can't accommodate the child.</div><div>
    </div><div>Just make sure you keep your cut off age consistent.  </div>
