How To / Request No Children At Wedding

Hey friend!

 

Adult-only weddings is a widely debated topic at the moment. Do you feel bad for requesting no children on your wedding? STOP right now, thank you very much! (If you were born before 1990 you might hear that Spice Girls song ringing in your head right now)..

You shouldn't feel guilty for not wanting children at your wedding. Remember, your wedding day is YOUR day and YOU should be the one deciding if you want it to be an adult-only day. 

So, I wanted to give you my best wording tips on how to politely request no children on your wedding invitation or rsvp card, without annoying your guests.
