Adult only ceremony & reception....

klsuydan · October 2010

with exception of our two children and my fiances neice and 2 nephews as they are n the wedding...

How do I make this known? How do I word the invitation?

Thank you in advance!!

You don't word the invitation with any mention of who is or isn't invited. You address the invitation to whoever is invited. Mr & Mrs John Smith. Don't put anything like "The Smith Family" as that involves kids as well. If anyone RSVPs with uninvited guests you call and say "We're so excited to see you at the wedding, but unfortunately there was a misunderstanding and the invitation was only for _________." Some people may choose not to come because of it.

Just address your invitations to the adults that you're inviting. If they RSVP with a child, call and kindly let them know that the ceremony and reception are adult-only. Don't be surprised if people take issue when they children there though.

Every time this question is asked, God kills a kitten.

But AATB, what about the STD's? Are they mandatory? Do you need to make programs???

AllAboutTheBenjamin · October 2010

...there goes the puppies and the ponies now.

DAMMIT BIRDIE.

kellyjellybelly · October 2010

There were ponies?!?!?! I want a pony! I WANT.

kellyjellybelly · October 2010

Yes, yes we do. You were given the correct etiquette advise, no need to keep repeating the same thing.

Birdie1483 · October 2010

Only when I'm drunk.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · October 2010

Birdie... you're drunk?

Or is this the cold medicine talking?

Birdie1483 · October 2010

And sniffles = snot factory sneezing eyes watering shenanigans that I only get once a year so I get crabby. Cramps do suck though. I've found alcohol helps mine.

Birdie1483 · October 2010

*hides from the medical folks*

It's a combo of Sudafed and wine

AllAboutTheBenjamin · October 2010

Bitch, you are hard core.

...sometimes, after I get over my cold, I keep taking Nyquil before bed.

Beachy730 · October 2010

For the record, I notoriously threadjack.

Birdie1483 · October 2010

Haha I'm a Tylenol PM type of girl! I told FI the other night "if I die in my sleep, tell the coroner I took Tylenol PM and Sudafed. I'm not sure if these should be mixed." I needed the Sudafed to breath and the Tylenol PM to counteract with the Sudafed jitters.

NICE.

I have a pony that might be available as of tomorrow.

Actually, he's only 6 inches short of qualifying by height as a Budweiser Clydesdale, but that's neither here nor there. He had a monstrously bad 'tude last weekend. I'm hoping for good behavior tomorrow.

And, OP, threadjacks are the nature of the beast. The answer to your question is address your invites to the invited guests. You can personalize your RSVP cards if you like (see my planning bio for an example of how). And, if you get RSVPs for too many guests, call and let the invited party know that you won't be able to accommodate little Johnny.

I have told my H numerous times that once I get my debt paid off, I'm getting a horse.

kellyjellybelly · October 2010

Oh I know - there is a lot of horse property near where we live. My intention was to always move to a house with some land and a barn. Sine our house is worth about $3 right now, I'm guessing that won't happen for awhile.

I have never owned a horse before - our next door neighbor did, and I used to go with her all the time. So my knowledge is pretty limited. One of my other friends and I have been planning to start volunteerting at one of the local horse rescues.

squirrly · October 2010

That's cool. We'll never have enough land to have them at home here, because land is so pricey that we'd have to move SO far from Boston that my commute would be absurd.

And plus, I don't want to take care of that much land.

My grandfather has a whole breeding farm. It was so much easier when they were at his house. . .

Birdie1483 · October 2010

Squirrly is your horse with you in MA or back here in KY?

squirrly · October 2010

Birdie, sorry, laptop overheated and I had to start over!

They're here. We had them trucked up last week, and I think that's the source of the angst we saw last weekend.

WildRumpus · October 2010

Sarah# and I determined earlier that while programs aren't mandatory, interpretive dance w/ ribbon wands and confetti are. Ya here that OP. Your marriage won't be valid until you do an interpretive dance at the end of your ceremony

<div>AMEN. I took nyquil the night before my wedding (had a cold a week before and wanted to make sure I slept well that night) and my mom flipped out that I would become "addicted" to it. Um, no.</div>
