Not many of our guests have children, and those that do only have young children. There are 11 child invitees in total, all under five!
I want to add an additional information sheet for parents, basically saying "it's totally up to you if you bring them or not", but I'm finding it tricky to word without it sounding like I have a preference one way.
There will also be quite a few at a borderline age where I'm not sure whether they will have a child meal or their parents will bring food, and whether they will want highchairs. We also thought they might like to stay in on of the holiday cottage on site, rather than the hotel we are block booking if they are bringing their children.
This is what I have come up with so far:
Children are very welcome at our wedding, but we appreciate that it might be a long day for youngsters, so please do whatever suits your family best! In addition to how many of you are attending, please let us know when you RSVP of any highchair and child meal requirements.
As well as the hotel and bus options, there is limited accomodation on site, which we are mentioning to our guests with children first. Please get in touch if you would like more information.
Any thoughts? Does it all make sense? Is it clear enough that we just want them to do whatever is easiest for them with regards to bringing children? The hotel and bus arrangements will be described on the information sheet that's going to all guests.
I'm doing a slightly different RSVP card too with a box for 'number of guests attending:' and a line for 'child meal/highchair requirements:' so that should hopefully all be clear.
