I agree with everyone else - wholeheartedly. Don't get me wrong - I like kids. I have two daughters and five nieces, but here's the thing. Most of our "party" lives are devoted to kids' parties: birthdays, graduations, Easter, Christmas, etc. etc. It seems like you're at a kids party every month if you have kids. Soooo when it comes to Adult Parties - I feel like we earn the right to say - this is MY time. I even kick my youngest daughter out for my Bewitched Bash party. She's only 7 and the idea is having a party for all the great women I know in my life and just having fun. I've told her when she's older she can come. Her sister gets to come - but she's 14. I know this may sound selfish... but oh well.
So saying all that blah blah blah - I would definitely be specific about it being an adult party and don't feel guilty. If you feel bad, try and help them find a babysitter - but it is your party. Kick up your heels and have a blast.
