I can add "Adult only" to "Reception to follow",

invite you to share with us of our union

Sunday, the twelfth of September

Reception to follow

You can just indicate on the envelope the names of people invited (obviously no children would be listed there) and on your RSVP card put something to the effect of "___ seats have been reserved in your honor" or something like that to help prevent people from adding their children to the invite.

And if someone still does, you just have to call them and let them know that, unfortuantely, you are unable to include their child(ren) in the event but hope that they will still be able to celebrate with you.

Honestly, you shouldn't put "adults only" anywhere on the invitation. It's not proper etiquette. The way you indicate that the event is adults only is that you only put the name of the people invited (adults) on the invitation. If people try to add their children to the RSVP card then you call them and politely let them know that you can not accomodate their children.

Also.. your line "invite you to share with us of our union" doesn't make sense. Maybe change it to just "invite you to witness our union"
