How to plan your adult only wedding
May 24, 2023
Are you planning an adult-only wedding? While it can be difficult to communicate this to your guests, it is important to do so in a clear and respectful manner. Here are some tips to help you communicate your wishes for an adult-only wedding:
1. Address invitations to the adults only
When addressing your wedding invitations, make it clear that only adults are invited. Address the invitations to each individual guest by name instead of “Mr. and Mrs.” or “Family.” This will make it clear that the invitation is only for the adults.
2. Add a note on your wedding website
Include a note on your wedding website that the event is for adults only. Be polite and respectful, and provide a clear explanation for your decision. You could say something like, “We kindly request that our guests leave their children at home. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!”
3. Be clear in your invitations
Include a note in your wedding invitations that the event is adults-only. You don’t have to be overly formal, but be clear and concise. You could say something like:
1. “Adults-only reception to follow.”
2. “We kindly request no children at our wedding ceremony and reception.”
3. “Due to limited space, we are unable to accommodate children at our wedding.”
4. “We respectfully ask that our special day be an adult-only celebration.”
5. “To ensure that all guests can relax and enjoy themselves, we request no children at our wedding.”
6. “Please join us for an intimate, adults-only affair.”
7. “Please note that our wedding celebration is for adults only. We hope you can still join us for a night of fun and celebration!”
4. Follow up with guests who RSVP with children
If a guest RSVPs with their children, politely let them know that the wedding is adults-only. Be upfront and clear, and offer suggestions for child care if needed. You could say something like, “We apologize for any confusion, but unfortunately, our wedding is for adults only. We would be happy to provide suggestions for local child care options. Thank you for your understanding.”
Remember, it’s your wedding day, and you have the right to celebrate it in the way you want. By communicating your wishes clearly and respectfully, you can ensure that your adult-only wedding is a success.
