How to address invites and not invite all children

I like that idea. The only thing is the RSVP cards and invitations are already printed out. I may need to order new RSVP cards and maybe a space for "Reserved Seats" and then we fill it out. And then a space for number attending and have them fill it out...?

Thanks!

I would just follow up with those who include uninvited guests if you dnt' have room to write "__ of ___ attending" (you fill in the second one).

As some of the ladies said before, I am custom creating my invites on the websites that will let me alter the wording. I am doing the same thing, only my relatives who love local and my bridal party children are invited. I have friends who have 3-8 kids a piece and we want adults only as well. We are putting "___has been reserved in your honor" and I am going to hand write the number on each one per invite going out and only addressing them to the Couple "Mr. and Mrs." not the "family". I have been to weddings like this before and some people are either offended or they aren't. My MOH just went to her friends wedding that was adult only and she has 3 kids (whom are in my wedding) and she didn't take them, she got a sitter....so that's how I'm handling it...a blank line to be filled out by me and mailed

Thank you, everyone! I appreciate all your advice!
