     Adult reception & money only  

Hello, my wedding is May 7, 2005, my questions are as follows:

1. Is it okay to put adult reception, when I know for sure I would like certain family members (under 18) to be there. Not many, just a few. How can I make sure they are invited?

2. How would you properly phrase you want money only

3. Where does that money phrase go if I have three inserts: the invitation, reception card, rsvp card.



Thanks so much!

There is no need to indicate "adults only" or "no children" since, on the inner envelope you will write the names of all of the guests you want to invite. The recipient will (should) know that only those names listed on the inner envelope are the people invited.

It is not polite to mention anything regarding gifts on your wedding invitation since this would imply that you are expecting gifts and is not considered to be polite. If you prefer to have a monetary gift then either list your gift preference on your wedding website (if you have one) or spread the word through your family. Tell anyone who asks.

Try to focus more on the wedding day and it's meaning. You're sure to receive gifts; some you may be to your liking and some may not. Accept all gifts graciously and of course, send thank you notes. If you get a gift you cannot use return it to the store or donate it.

Have a wonderful wedding!
