When children are not invited to a wedding, Xdoes the invitation state that?
Answer Janet, The invitation should be addressed only to those who are invited. So the outer envelope would read “Mr. & Mrs. John M. Smith” and the inner envelope would read “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” In a perfect world, all your guests would realize that only those people whose names appear on the inner envelopes are actually invited. This is not always the case, however, and some people will assume that their children are invited. If someone RSVP’s with their child’s name written in as attending, then it is up to you (or a designated person) to call them and politely explain that you are not inviting children. You can share your reasoning if you want (such as keeping costs down or a late wedding/reception time). Not everyone will be pleased with the news, but ultimately it is your wedding and your decision. Don’t let anyone bully you into letting their child attend. Just try to be as polite as possible and hopefully they will understand. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know
