[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old thread... but I really hate when people say no kids and then still invite kids.

If an event is truly 18+ or 21+ that is totally fine! Say that! But dont say "no kids" and then invite other peoples kids. Just invite the adults.

I had an 18+ wedding. No kids were invited, no kids attended. [/quote]

Many people, have a flower girl or two and a ring bearer.  In a situation like this would you provide a baby sitter?  Let the parents and kids know that the kids won’t be welcome at the reception?  How would you — handle it? [/quote]
Me personally? I had an 18+ wedding with no children in the wedding.

If I had a flower girl or ring bearer who were invited to the reception, I would not specify 18+/adults only/no kids. Because that wouldn't be factual. I would just invite the people who I wanted to invite, and list their names. Ie John and Jane. [b]If they asked if they could bring their kids (several people still did) I just said "sorry, we cant accommodate them, the invitation is just for you and John."[/b]

I dont mind the idea of providing a baby sitter, but many parents still wouldn't feel comfortable leaving their kids with a rando, so YMMV with that alternative.  [/quote]

And then Jane comes to the wedding and see your flower girl and ring bearer at the reception and Jane comes onto DCUM and posts about how you're so rude. [/quote]
