It inspired me to answer. You cannot assume that children are invited. If the envelope was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. and Family then the children are included. If not, it is limited to the people on the envelope. If inviting a single person, the envelope might read Miss Jones and Guest. That means she can bring a guest but NOT children. Adult only weddings are becoming more popular and I have been to more and more of them. Leave the kids home with Grandmother and enjoy yourselves. Why on Earth would you want to take children to an adult cocktail party and wedding anyway? This is an opportunity for you two to have some fun without worrying about the kids enjoying themselves. Don't be offended at all by this at all. It is the Wedding couple's choice, not yours. It is their wedding and they get to have it anyway they want. Also the cost factor might be a reason as most caterers don't have a child's plate price, just per person. Enjoy their special day and get a babysitter! Sorry but the first answer is so wrong!!!

I also disagree with the suggestion to call your hostess (unless they are a very close friend). To call the hostess and ask if the kids are invited puts them in a difficult position. It seems rude to say no even though it's not a kid event. If you show up and they ask where the kids are, kindly point out the oversight in the invitation (doing so without embarrassing the hostess), and perhaps they will be better informed the next time as to proper etiquette.

With weddings, I'm from a small town and things aren't formal like that, so kids are almost always invited, but if I wasn't sure I wouldn't just show up with my kids. I would call the host and ask.

I'm surprised people would bring their children to an " adults " party. A cocktail party is no place for children. I guess since you have some friends that can't grasp this idea, have printed on your invitations " adults only " This seems so unnecessary, but I guess that's what you have to do.
