  I wouldn't put anything on the invitation stating that you are not inviting children. We are also having our wedding at an adults only resort, which all of our friends and family are thrilled with, I think they need a break too but we are not making any statements about children not being invited. We are simply addressing the invitations to Mr and Mrs, not to the family.

  I'm sure if you have discussed the wedding with family and friends they already know you are not having kids at your wedding.

  I think etiquette generally suggests that you never mention who is not invited on an invitation. Rather, you do as Latillo suggests and address the invitations to the specific adult people that are invited to the wedding. Presumably you will be providing some additional information (maybe a wedding website?) for your guests about the resort.  Likely the resort's website clearly states that it is an adults-only resort.  If you do a wedding website, I think it would be ok to describe the resort a little bit. Maybe something like "The wedding will be at <Resort>, a luxurious adults-only resort situated on the beach in <City>."  I wouldn't make a big deal about the "no children" and leave it at that. We will not be inviting any children to our wedding either.
