Invitations / Kids

I really don`t want to encourage guests to bring their children to our wedding. Some of our family who will be coming from the other side of the country will have no choice but to bring their kids, which is ok. But for the rest of the guests I would rather they didn`t bring the kids. I`m wondering if it is best for me to simply invite the adults (except for the kids already mentioned) or if the others will be upset when they see children at the wedding but know I did not invite theirs.

The inner envelope is where you distinguish who in the family is invited and who isn`t -- if the children aren`t then simply omit their names -- put "Diane and John". Most people know that this means children are not invited but some will bring their children anyways.

Some people may be offended if you invite some children and not others but I`m sure you have good reasons why and those guests who aren`t afforded the opportunity to bring their children will understand.

Good luck and best wishes.
