No babies allowed!

I would imagine that they will be contacting you for clarification, unless you specifically mention babies. As it's only 4 couples, you might want to contact them individually and confirm. Or you might just want to make it clear from the invitation.

As a side note, bear in mind that those with the youngest children might be declining your invite. Just mentioning because when my cousin got married, she was really upset that one friend did not come as she had a small baby. Friend was actually relieved that baby was not invited and she had a get out, as she did not especially want to come with baby anyway.

Most 'child free' weddings make exception for babies that young, so I think you will need to specify on the invitation - either that, or have a conversation with the parents. Just bear in mind that people with babies that young are likely to be unable to attend if they can't bring the infant.

We’ve asked those who want to bring kids to contact us directly- that way I can tell them no directly.


The only kids at my wedding will be 2 nieces (flower girls) and a nephew (ring bearer). Guests can’t expect you to accommodate their children plus I’m sure they’d enjoy the break
