Answer :

I don’t think you can ask someone to leave their kids out without it coming off as somewhat rude. Being selfish is being rude and you plainly said that it’s somewhat selfish in your own description. If you plan on doing that, I’d be prepared to have a lot of your friends with kids to decline the invitation. I don’t have kids but if I did and someone asked me not to bring them to an event because of the reason you’ve mentioned, then I, personally, would elect to just not go.
