No Kids At The Wedding

All planning resources and etiquette guides state you should not state no children on your invitation ~ the proper way to accomplish this is to address the invitations to just the adults. Still you may receive response cards showing the children have been included, then a phone call explaining your preferences is appropriate. Good luck ~

Etiquette states you should just advise through word of mouth however, I personally am stating in the invite that says:
"Children under the age of 16 years are requested not to attend unless part of the wedding party."

I``m sure I will get some flack but it`s my wedding. You can always state alcohol will be served (punch) and they do not allow punch to be sitting out if children are present (this is true).

Just say that the event is for adults only. Thats it. I was invited to an event and thats what they told me. I understood.
I wanted to do the same for my wedding but I chickend out. I now have a wedding video with heart felt speaches from my husband, sister, and dad, and I also have tons of children crying and yelling in the backround. I will never do that again!!!!
