Q: I would like to have an “adults only” wedding and reception. What is the best way to convey this message to my guests without sounding rude?

A: Ahhh. The “adults only” dilemma! At TGK, we feel that it’s always best to err on the side of making your guests feel welcome. You can let your guests know that you prefer kids to stay home without offending them. First, it’s best not to inscribe “Adults Only” or “No Children” on your invitation. Such exclusionary language sets the wrong tone and takes the focus off of the event. We prefer the subtle approach of addressing the envelope specifically to the invited guests. However, if you are looking to emphasize the point a bit more strongly, using the phrase “Number of Adults Attending” on the reply card eliminates the opportunity to rsvp for children at all.

Keep in mind, no matter how clear you attempt to be, there may be those few guests who just don’t get it. The best thing to do when faced with an uninvited guest of any age is to roll out the welcome mat, set an extra spot at the table, and silently chalk it up to bad manners on the guest’s part. As long as you maintain your graciousness, a minor glitch won’t overshadow the true focus of your big day!
