Hello how may I help you? I have a question about planning my wedding. I can help with that, what do you need? Do I have to invite the children of the adults I'm sending invitations to? You are under no obligation to invite children. A lot of people have adult only ceremonies, followed by a kid friendly reception for the whole family. Yes I'd really like the ceremony to be adults only, but don't know how to request that in a tactful manner. Most people are very understanding of kid free ceremonies. You can word it like "We would like our ceremony to be intimate so we kindly request that no children are present." That sounds very good. The idea of then opening the reception to all ages is exactly what we would like to do. That is a very popular way to do things now, I think that all of your guests will be understanding. You have nothing to worry about. I hate to say it but it's mainly the children of just 2 couples that we know that we are afraid of them inturrupting the ceremony, but excluuding just them isn't really possible. I completely understand that. And I agree, excluding all children instead of just the two families will save you from having any drama come of this. Is there anything else I can help with? No that's it. Thanks
