View Full Version : How do you tell
someone they cant bring there kids in the day?? Ive added the number of people comin in the ay wrong so my cousin wont be able to bring her 2 kids during day as we have set number,she didnt invite us to her wedding or anythin :/ eeek!! They are from my dads side who i dnt really see, they can come at night
hey hun, were not having any kids at ours at any point. Im hoping that by only putting the adults names on the invitation they will get the hint! Plus i will be making sure whenever i see anyone that i will be saying no kids allowed.
If you're still inviting to them to the evening though im sure they cant really complain about that, im sure that happens at weddings alot. In terms of letting them know, maybe just put a note in with their invite explaining, not sure about the wording though.

my brother has already given them the invite!they only live down the road, my mums brother and wife arent really social i dont think they will go!! Cos his wife went out with my dad and hes just taken her back so she will feel arkward!!:confused:

oh dear! r u thinking that your cousins kids might take the place of your mum's brother and wife then if they dont come? If not, seeing as their children - have you asked the venue what can be done -ie. if they can add them for a small extra cost?x
yes thts what im thinkin.think im guna have go and see the wedding planner.i cant really hav more not fair on alex cos he hasnt got any more to invite in day
Just tell people outright that it's a adult themed wedding and that unfortunately due to numbers, you're unable to extend the invite to the children.
If they can't understand that then maybe they're not worth inviting! Just be ready for the fact that some guests will have a strop on that they can't bring along their kids because it means having to arrange a babysitter for the whole day.....but if they can't put that measure in place for your special day then they'll just turn down the invite, which basically means they weren't worth inviting in the first place.
Does that make sense??

I would just assume if the kids names or 'and family' arent written on the invitations then it's a given they're not invited?? We will only be having 3 children at our wedding as that's all the children we know and their names will be on the invites so the parents know they are invited, and kids under 10 are actually free at my venue xxx
I personally think that if there are only a few kids there then it doesnt really matter and their parents if they are desent would make the kids behave!!
Its your wedding at end of the day so you invite who you want, If we were invited to family wedding and Hope was not invited I just wouldnt go because to me Hope is family but these are me views on it I think sometimes the kids can make a wedding more fun instead of been all serious all day!
Good luck telling them hun plus if you dint get an invite to their wedding i wouldnt worry really xx
I would just tell them outright, it is your day, and you caant please everyone! My wedding should be fun, 14 kids coming, 5 of which are between 8-13month :) the rest range from 2 up to 11. But if i didnt invite them i would have no adult guests to invite lol xx

i think thats a good idea about not putting 'family' or the kids names on the invitation, it is a big hint or maybe just tell them straight x x x x
Gosh sarah im having the same problem!!! its no fun trying to sort wedding guest list's iv got some family members i see regular and obviously would like there children to come but those i do not see im having difficulty weather to invite there children as well, its not fun and i really dont wanna offend any one either but i don't know how to tell people. Also have to add my OH is also REME xx
:/ i told her when she came on MSN she was like ok, i will come in the evening if i can find someone to mind them
I personally wouldn't faff about and would tell them honestly in the nicest way possible.
Saying that if we didn't invite children then we'd lose a lot of guests and as Jamie's family would be coming from Lincoln (5hrs away) then it would be unfair of us to expect them to fork out for childcare to leave them in Lincoln, travel costs, accomodation, plus whatever else they spend.
At the nursery I used to work in we offered a babysitting service and we did quite a few weddings and it didn't cost all that much xx
