Everything you should know about the right way to tell the little ones and parents it’s a kids free wedding.
A wedding is one of the most important days for a couple and their families. During this day, the couple has numerous decisions to make this day successful, enjoyable and stress free. Whether you want to have a big or small wedding guest list, it's never easy to notify a rsvp child-free wedding.
If you're planning on having this type of wedding, this blog will provide you the necessary insights for the wedding invitation wording.
Communicate As Soon As Possible Before the Guest Make Assumptions
Communication is key when having a kids-free wedding and reception. It'll be wise to have this type of communication as earlier as possible before the guest assume their kids are part of the guest list. Remember that you do not need to explain your decision.
Be straightforward with your Guests
When planning an age restriction wedding invitation, being straightforward with the parents will be vital. Parents will be able to coordinate in advance babysitting services or childcare. Furthermore, don't feel bad about your decision and do not try to tell the parents the reasons for not inviting their kids. It is your day and your decision.
Consider Proper Wording for the Invitation
Choosing the right words for a rsvp child free wedding will be the best way to announce your decision. A private message will be the best way to deliver the news to the parents . Furthermore, the invitation and the RSVP card should only have the parent's name.
Mention your decision on Your Website
With the digital era that we live in, you will probably have a website where all your guest can access the wedding information including the no kids wedding information. Wedding websites are the best option to send the rsvp kid free message to your guests. (HERE you can find an example of a wedding website from one of our couples).
However, make sure to use the right wording, here are some examples:
“Our sincerest apologies to our guests; due to safety and space concerns, we're unable to accommodate kids at the wedding”
“As much as we adore and love our little ones, we will only be able to invite a few close family members”
“We look forward to make our guests enjoy their time at our wedding. Our big day will only include adults. We request politely that no kids be at this intimate and private event”
“Have a date night out, get a suitable babysitter and leave the children home”
“To provide you with the perfect opportunity to let your hair down, we've decided that the wedding will only have adults”
Bottom Line
Choosing a kid-free wedding comes down to what you really want as a couple. Remember there is always the options of having them at the ceremony and offer babysitter services for cocktail and reception. We understand it can be hard since some guest make an incredible effort just to be there and sometimes they do not have anyone they can leave their kids with. However it’s your day and if you have decided to have a kids-free wedding is better to communicate this as soon as possible.
