Addressing invitation when only kids 13 and older are invited
For our wedding we are having guests that are 13 and older only attend, since we do not younger kids there causing any commotion. There are two families we are inviting that have one child 13 or over and one younger. I'm not sure how to address the invitations, or the save-the-dates which is what I'm doing now. Should I include everyone's name except the one child? That doesn't seem proper but at the same time they're not invited...

It's best, if excluding children, that you exclude all children. Imagine how you might feel, as a parent, if one child was invited and the other was not. You might feel insulted, as the host was insinuating your younger child couldn't behave and that your parenting skills were being called into question.

I completely agree. To invite one child and not the other is very impolite. And, please remember that we never mention "adult only" or "no children" on the invitations. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
