If people would learn that ONLY the people's names written on the inner envelope are invited, we wouldn't have the problem of including it on the invitation! So many people get that envelope & assume that "Mr. & Mrs. John Smith" automatically = AND KIDS which is absolutely does not. Nor does "Ms. Jane Smith" automatically = AND GUEST, but I digress...
ShaedyKD, although it is not proper etiquette to include "adults only" on the actual invitation, more & more couples are finding themselves having to add it because people either don't understand, or don't WANT to understand, that the names listed on the inner envelope are the only invited guests. As a wedding planner, I would prefer the faux pas of wording it on the invitation versus the faux pas of having unruly kids show up for the event.
And as for the kids running around - I am the mom to a 4 year old, and I am absolutely on him like a hawk. However, he IS four, and you would be surprised (you non-mom's would be - anyone who has or has had a toddler wouldn't be
) how quickly they can get into things! I was such a great mom before I had kids....
