Thread: How to word a dvd invite nicely saying no children..

Tweet

Please keep children safely at home, or they may be subjected to decapitations, gruesome experiments, or made to serve punch while standing on their hands!

Regarding the food angle... maybe something along the lines of..
"Real fingers may or may not be among the finger foods that will be served exclusively."

even when you say adults only some people still dont get it. I was talking to someone about our party and made it a point to say adult party well they asked me if they could bring their child @@! UGH!

"Finger foods are being served but we can't guarantee whose...."

With some of the people that I have met in the past, putting that on an invite would back fire.

hahahaha still laughing at madam's suggestions! Keep going!

Since our society has completely lost track of ettiquette it seems that people don't recognize that an invite addressed to Mr & Mrs does not extend to their kids - or neighbors, or couch surfers, etc.

I'd choose one of the funny but direct lines above so it's clear. People who can't live without their kids for a night won't come, (we always have a few) but it's way better than having someone show up with their rugrat.

This is my all-time favorite post. It is exactly the way we feel. It's nice to know that it doesn't make us wierdos. (Other things might, but not this one)

expext to loose a friend or at least have a lame conversation..
ive seen this posted every year & at least one person you know will takeit as an insult..

or say that you invited your neighbor who is a registerd sex ofender & you want to make sure no kids show up, just to be safe.. but then 1/2 ur guests might not come LoL.. more booze 4 u.. good luck

Lol, nice posts! Although I'm not sure I would say children will be shot on sight- you know how some parents are...

There never seems to be a good roundabout way to say adults only, if you want it to be clear just be direct and say adults only.

How about: Adults only, please. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.
