What's the most polite way to tell your relatives not to bring their kids to your wedding?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:In the invitation, just list it as follows: “This wedding has been rated “R” by the MPAA (Marital Participants Association of America) for adult content, language, strong sexual themes, and brief nudity.” Other than that, just tell them – it’s small, and it’s your wedding, and with enough notice they should be able to find a babysitter.
