Only having children involved in wedding attend. How best do I word the invitations?

I like really simple wording for this. Sometimes I feel like long-winded wording for no-children at weddings sounds like you are making an excuse or trying to apologise all at once. A simple line such as the below should suffice:

"With respect, this will be an adult only occasion"

Hi Helen,

I just had a bride use this wording, you might get an idea.

Due to limited numbers, we are sadly unable to etend this invitation to children who are not named. We hopw you see this as an opportunity to enjoy some adult time, let your hair diwn and that you are still able to join us on our special day.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Helen!

This is a tough situation for you because you will be having 3 children there. Will they be staying for the entire length of the reception or leaving early? If they're leaving early, you could make a note to say that the only children involved in the ceremony will be leaving early as the venue isn't suitable for children.

This is my favourite wording that I have found:

"As much as we love small humans (especially yours), our venue won’t be suitable for the little ones.

We kindly ask that you leave kids with a sitter and enjoy a night off on us."

It might be worth adding in yours something along the lines of:

"Child name 1, Child name 2 and Child name 3 who are part of our immediate family will need to be involved in the wedding ceremony."

This adds some personalisation and your guests should understand that you can't exclude the closest children in your family.

I hope this helps! If you have more questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

How about... "We adore your children but thought you deserved a night out!" Who can say no to a date night? Keep in mind parents need to make arrangements for sitters - it will be better to get those invites out sooner than later.
