save the dates for destination weddings re no kids
Mon 16 Nov 2009 04:50AM posts 4
we are having a no kids destination wedding, however we are unsure as to:
1. whether to mention ‘no kids’ on the save the date so people have heaps of notice to make other arrangements. if we leave it til sending out the invites it may not be enough notice for some people to arrange a babysitter.
2. if so, how do we word this?

How long are you leaving between sending out save the dates and invites!?
Surely they’ll have grandparents or god parents or neighbours that’ll oblige!

we’d send out the save the dates about 12 months before the wedding. personally I reckon this is heaps of notice for people to make other arrangements.

We are having a child free wedding as well and put a short sentence at the bottom of our save the dates (in a smaller font) that says “So that every guest can enjoy the evening and have a few drinks, our cocktail reception will be an adults only function.”
I’ve had two people confirm if they can bring children to the ceremony which is fine with me, and I’ve also had a swag of guests ring me and say thanks as now they don’t feel that they HAVE to bring the kids along.
My FH has 7 neices and nephews under the age of 4 and i have two under the age of 7 – and we see them all the time - so this was VERY important to us
