"Adult reception to follow" on invites. Or on reception card, "Adult Reception.
Technically, you shouldn't say it at all. It's not appropriate to say "no children" or "adults only" on the invitation. The invitation should simply be addressed only to those who are invited. That is the only way you to need to designate that only the adults are invited. If people try to add their children on the response card you will just need to make calls and correct them.
@Moose1209: in a perfect world... :) Unfortunately it seems that most people don't get this and then you have a LOT of awkward calls to make.
I'd say either put it on both, or don't put it on either but add a line to the response card that says "___ of 2 will attend"
None of the above, you make sure the invites are addressed to the adults only, you put a note on your website, you spread it through word of mouth and you gently correct people when they try to bring their kiddies anyway.
moose1209's way is ideal, but i think it's a good idea to be safe and follow a combo of banditgirl's and corgi's advice. good luck!
we put on our bridal shower invites that the shower was for the whole family because the wedding was adults only, and then on the invites we only addressed them to the adults and we we wrote that 2 seats were reserved for so and so ect
@misspug: ditto. IMO, you should make it clear it's adults only by only addressing the invites to the parents, in combination with the reply card saying "__ of _2_" attending. Your point will be made to the majority of your guests, however there will always be some that try to add their children on, regardless of what you request. Most likely, you should be prepared for awkward conversations either way.
I agree with Banditgirl. That's what I did for my invitation and RSVP card. "Adult Reception to follow" on the invitation and "Adult reception" on the RSVP card. Plus, I also address it with who I was inviting. Instead of "To John Doe Family" I put "Mr & Mrs. John Doe" or "John and Jane Doe." For plus ones, I put "Jack Smith and guest" on the envelope.
