How to Invite Only Adults for Your Wedding Reception?

 
You may be interested in holding a wedding reception for adults only and get ready to show off your sexy reception dress. However, here is the problem, is it rude to ask the parents to attend your reception leaving the children behind with a babysitter? What is the best way to let them know your idea for the adult reception?

Adults only

This is a common concern. WE had an Adults only reception and  Listed the names of the couple only on the invitations. We also put the words ADULTS ONLY RECETIon on our reception cards. People STILL brought kids. Only a few, but still... WE were prepared for that, though. We had the hotel keep a seperate area so that any univited kids under 18 were put in a room with movies, games and snacks.

Understand that some may be genuinely surprised or hurt that their kids can't come, but don't give in. Think about hiring a babysitter or two to care for kids during the reception. They can have a pizza party -- way cheaper than having them at the reception, and everyone will be happy.
