Be discreet

First up, it’s important to start by being discreet. Nobody wants to have “No children” broadcast across their wedding invitations. Our recommendation is to begin by addressing your invitations to those who are invited (this will tell guests who is and who is not invited). Any information about children can be included in a separate card.

 

A bit more explicit

The discreet option will work just fine for the majority of your guests, considering only a portion of them will have kids. Only a portion of that crowd will misinterpret your discreet approach. But hey, you know your guests better than we do! If you think a more explicit approach is needed, we’ve got you covered. At the bottom of most wedding invitations, there’s often a note saying something like “Reception to follow”. You could write “Adult reception to follow”.
