Hey everyone!
FH and I are having a "beach kegger" vibe reception in November. The reception will be held at our friend's home who have a teenager(16) and toddler (3) . While we really do not want our friends littles there, we aren't comfortable asking for our friends/family attending to not bring their children while there will be a child there. We want our friends to take a night off and enjoy themselves. We have asked the 16yr if she would be okay with babysitting, but one teen can not watch roughly 20 kids all under the age of 10, by themselves. We are looking into hiring another (or 2) babysitters, but what I want to know is there a polite way of saying, "please don't bring your kid unless you absolutely have to". Thanks!
