Keeping Your Wedding To Adults Only
How do you tell a friend she can't bring her children?

The guest list can be one of the trickiest aspects of planning your big day. Instead of trying to weed out friends and family, many couples decide to keep the guest list to adults. But what happens when certain friends want to bring their children? We went to Sharon Stimpfle, deputy site director of weddingchannel.com for her tips on how to deal with a potentially touchy situation.
I included on my invitation that it's an adults only wedding, but my friend called me and asked if she could bring her kids. What do I say?
If it's on the invitation that it's an adults only wedding, that should be respected by your friends. You can explain to them your budgetary limitations as well as the fact that many of your other friends have children, and you wouldn't want others to feel like their children weren't welcome. However, if you are having a destination wedding and the couple cannot find a babysitter, then you might want to consider providing childcare.
