Some people believe an invitation without "family" at the end means the whole family is invited and you didn't have time to name everybody. Then there's people that think they are the exception to the rule.<br /> "21 & up only" seems reasonable. Go for blunt definitely.Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537656358398584367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804218218752322984.post-60624274967854246142012-07-25T12:13:42.548-04:002012-07-25T12:13:42.548-04:00Ryan, you are just BEAUTIFUL and he's not so b...Ryan, you are just BEAUTIFUL and he's not so bad himself! Seriously, you couldn't be any cuter! The mop chop was a good call, I love the short cut. <br />My advice, STICK TO YOUR GUNS. Don't let anyone tell you how to plan your Wedding... It's so easy to get caught up in everyone elses idea of a perfect Wedding and forget your own ideas. Maybe your FAQ should warn everyone that speeches and music may include adult content, alcohol will be consumed w/o a license and the venue enourages adults of 21 and over at the event? Do your Wedding invites tell guests to check out your Blog for more information? Encourage your friends and family to spread the word that it's a cocktail event for adults only, and with your Blog giving the deets, I'm sure it will turn out the way you want it!<br />Yay! So happy to see the Wedding posts coming along! :)<br />R XORachel Emmileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707558168731537625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804218218752322984.post-69868820847598975482012-07-25T08:09:55.747-04:002012-07-25T08:09:55.747-04:00Your engagement pictures are great - you both look...Your engagement pictures are great - you both look so happy! <br />Also I totally get where you're coming from on the kids thing. We had kids at our wedding which I didn't really want, but for the most part they were actually surprisingly well behaved.

Seriously, gorgeous. <br /><br />Knowing the most people either won't read the FAQ page or assume they are the exception to the rule, you have to put something on your save the date AND invitation. And honestly, you could always lie which I suck at but still. Just put "21+ only, please" and if anyone questions you, just say that because you aren't having a licensed bartender you've signed an agreement that it will be 21+ otherwise you can rack up additional fees or something. Which... is kind of true in a distorted kind of way. ;) The other option is having people come to the ceremony and then putting cousins in charge of watching each other somewhere? Maybe they have a big sleep over or something and you can have baskets of treats/movies or something for them as a "wish you were 21 to get drunk with us" kind of thing? :)Sara Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641499434694637445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804218218752322984.post-68125495345091324432012-07-24T14:42:23.141-04:002012-07-24T14:42:23.141-04:00I totally got RSVPs listing whole families despite...I totally got RSVPs listing whole families despite the fact that the invitations only addressed the parents.

You've just got to be firm about what you want, but the reality is there's always somebody who's going to get butt hurt about it, and there might even be a few people who don't go because they can't bear being away from their kids that long... and in some cases, you might even have a kid who's totally upset that they're not invited (I was that child, when my cousin Rita got married when I was 10, I was absolutely beside myself upset that I wasn't invited because of my age).Nikkianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769877554857471397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804218218752322984.post-32375102783546377392012-07-24T13:57:37.534-04:002012-07-24T13:57:37.534-04:00The engagement pictures are GORGEOUS and you two l...The engagement pictures are GORGEOUS and you two look amazing together. aaah the infmaous no-kids dilemna. We opted for the website FAQ also. I know more than half of our guests who received Save The Dates probably haven't looked at the website though. A friend of mine got married a year ago and although the books say its tacky, she said she would go back and say Adult-Only on her invitations or RSVP's. We're also doing the "We have reserved __ seats in your honor" on the RSVP's. Not sure if some of our guests with children under 18 will understand that but I hope so. I'm sure there will be some phone calls we will have to make anyway! Looking forward to THAT task! (totally sarcastic)Good luck with everything! :)Nicole - Craft My Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13572804122100268246noreply@blogger.com
