It used to be that you'd write the names of the guests you are inviting on the inner envelope of the invitation.

Example:
Mr & Mrs John Smith
- or-
Mr & Mrs John Smith and Family
- or -
John & Mary Smith
Tom, Becky, and Junior

But some people are dense so you may have to include a "Adults only - No children please" notice.

You gotta do what you gotta do, even if some people get mad and decide not to attend.

I know that some people are just so dense.They dont seem to understand. UGH!

I guess I do..I just dont know how I would word it.

and MIG...its not the fact that the alcohol would be a problem at the wedding..it is the fact of that my parents can not afford all the kids. You know.

Good advice Sharon. For a relative's wedding they had invited a couple, Mr. & Mrs., and on the response card the number of attendees was 7!!! Some people just don't get it.

Just address the envelopes as Sharon suggested and may "pass the word" that while you love to have children, it's just not feasible. Invevitably some people will get their feelings hurt, but you just can't please everyone and it is YOUR wedding day!!

There are several sites you can look up dealing with wedding etiquette..maybe they can offer specifics for wording if you prefer to have it in the invitation...maybe a little card like the one for the reception.

My son gets married in November so I'm sure we'll deal with this soon enough too!

And again I say - let people know that kids are okay at the wedding but on the RSVP to the reception (usually the card for the reception rsvp and the card for the wedding rsvp are seperate) specify *Adults only, Please*.
Of course you could just invite people who don't have kids to your reception - and everybody else to the wedding.
Remember the reception & wedding are two different events. One you make the biggest decision of your life and the other you spend the most money you ever have on a party in your life! And there are some people who only want to go to your wedding and some who only want to go to the reception. Treat them as different events - have different invitee lists and everything.

You didn't. I figure you are over stressing yourself out over the whole wedding anyway (you got time dear - I promise) and figured I'd repeat myself in a different way~:biggrin:

It is hard to have children at the wedding. I just went to a wedding on Saturday and I told my mother-in-law my 3 year old son will NOT be attending. Not only would I not enjoy the wedding, but it isn't fair to the bride and groom to have a 3 year old thinking it is a party for them. I am sorry if I insult anyone on this board by saying that. It is just my opinion.

ALSO JET GOTTA A QUESTION

Watch out for the ghost!

That is where this reception was Saturday. Why do you say that? It is a beautiful place but I felt there was a lot of history when I walked in the door. A deep feeling that scared me a little.

PLEASE TELL ME!!!!

Also the blue dress is beautiful. I had a garden wedding. I wore a white dress with pale pink shoes. I paid a whole $20.00 for my dress at TJ Max. I agree that the fancy dress isn't for everyone. I had a friend french braid my hair and a dried flowers also. I have enjoyed weddings that have been traditional but a garden wedding was what my husband and I wanted.


I wonder if I win the cheapest wedding dress award?
:duh:

HAHA! I got to thinking of another one that I am boggled with.

My mom is re-married to my step dad...who is a great guy. Dont get me wrong. But..my real father, who I was very close to passed away in 96. I want to include him on the wedding invitation. But...two things, I dont want to bring back memories that will go crazy..and then I also want him to be known. I found this quote...



Mr and Mrs. Keith M******* and the late Mr. Ernest Loc***** Jr. along with Mr. and Mrs. Warren W*** request the honour of your presence at the wedding of Summer Dawn Loc*****, daughter to Jesse W***, on Twentith of September, Two-Thousand and Three.
St. Pauls United Methodist Church, Point Lookout Road, Leonardtown, MD



What do you think??


Do you think that I should list my dad like that. Or do you think that I am being wrong for doing that?

Thanks. I thought so too...just wondering if the wording is right for the invitations..cause we are getting them done at cost with Jesses work...and want the wording exact...so..

But yea..I miss him terribly and I was a total daddy's girl. I am just hoping that my step dad knows how much I love him, even though, I am putting my dads name on there also.

Thank AP and Blue...it is encouraging to hear..that I am not wrong in this department

I would rephrase the beginning - the printer of your invites can help better than I, but here I go:

The honor of your presence
is requested for the wedding
of
Summer Dawn
daughter of
Mr. & Mr. Keith
and the Late Mr. Ernest
to
Jesse
son of
Mr. & Mrs. Warren
on the 20th of September, 2003
At St. Pauls United Methodist Church
Leonardtown, Maryland

otherwise it had all the right info, but it sounded like you all were inter-related (not good). You can also leave off the address of the church, you gonna wind up giving directions to those that rsvp anyway - save your self the extra words and cut down your printing costs. JMO

Besides, I am sure that the parents with children at one time or another have attended social events or have gone out on occasions without the children, arranging for daycare for an evening should not be a big problem.
