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

Tweet

Please help. Looking for a nice way to say adults only. Or creative. It is going on my dvd invite and just looking for the right wording besides no kids.

Also as we are having the party at 7pm I have decided to not do dinner just snacks (food platters) throughout the night..

Maybe light snacks? The theme is things are not what they seem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How do you normally address the invitations?

To let people know they can bring kids I've addressed ours to the "So and So Family" but if I wanted to invite the adults only I'd address it to them specifically. "Bob and Sue Doe". Maybe that wold work?

WARNING: ADULTS ONLY. Any children on site will be quickly confiscated and sold to the circus.

We regret that our festivities are for the more mature mortals. Please leave the kiddies at home.

Please note: CHILDREN WILL BE SHOT ON SITE.
Please note: CHILDREN WILL BE EATEN ON SITE.
Please note: CHILDREN WILL BE CRUSHED AND MELTED.
Please note: CHILDREN WILL BE LOCKED IN MY BASEMENT. We can't find the key.

"Any children brought to the party will not be returned"

One last idea..

Tuck the children in bed and give them a kiss for tonight is -------

What is your theme???

Mine say "Sorry moms & dads, nobody under 21 allowed" but most people know I can't stand their kids, so it probably wouldn't be a problem either way.

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.

Please refrain from bringing the little ones. The zombies think they're appetizers.

I agree with Heather. Nobody even KNOWS the etiquette for these things anymore. If I can offer one more tip it would be to include something to ensure an RSVP. Nobody responds anymore either.

LMAO. I was in hysterics reading your replys! Ha. I think i know which way i am going now... with one of the funny ones..
Anyone have any ideas on the food part.. Apparently a lot of aussies assume there will be dinner so was looking for a funny line to tell them only nibbles will be served.

Any ideas? Btw the theme is things are not what they seem

Thanks again everyone.
