We are having a large wedding (350 guests). Unfortunately, we are not able to have everyone bring their children. We were going to invite the children of only those people who are immediate family or if they are in the children of adults in the wedding party. However, we have been getting questions from cousins etc. wanting to know if their children are invited. We just cannot invite everyone's children. We do not want to say that children are not invited because then when those people show up and see children there, they may be upset because they believed children were not invited. How do we handle this? Thank you in advance for any ideas.
Don't worry about telling your guests, simply list only the names of those you want to attend on the inner envelope of your wedding invitation; obviously omitting the names of the children. You will never list "no children or "adults only" on a wedding invitation.
You don't have to explain why some children were invited and some weren't; just as you wouldn't have to explain why you invited some adult guests and not others (although with 350 guests in attendance are there any adults you DO know that AREN'T invitited?
