Would you guys consider an Adult only affair????

[ladylestat]

We are also planning for "adult only affair". We started on our entou, all our FG or FL rather and bearers are adults, almost same age namin ni H2B. Inform n lang yung mga guests. Firm ang decision namin ni H2B since limited lang yung kasya sa venue na gustong gusto namin.  Yung drafted guests list namin sobra na. Kaya kailangan pa namin magbawas ng guest.   Good luck mga sis sa preparations!

Siguro sa matter na to wala ako magiging problema. Yung mga kids na invited ay yung nasa entourage ko lang. Sa side ni h2b kasi marami siyang pinsan na bata as in maraming marami! Pero naging protocol na nila na tuwing may rsvp na occasion yung adults lang yung pupunta-tito tita lang di na kasama mga pinsan parang understood na nila yun amd sila sila mismo ayaw mg magulo. Yung side ko nag decide rin na magpaparty nalang sila after our wedding para lahat makapunta, sa province namin ito ha. Marami rin sa side ko na kids pero ayaw na din nila isama baka raw kasi di sila magenjoy.

Pwede naman gawin ay kausap mo muna both sides na plan niyo mag adult only affair im sure maiintindihan naman nila yun..tapos party nalang kahit a week after sa bahay lang para kasama na yung mga kids

My whole ento puro adults pero hindi naman maiiwasan yung mga relatives na may kids kasi wala nga magaalaga, so gagawin namin kapag nakadiaper and hindi pa kayang maupo ng bata yun ang mga hindi kasama.

A nice consideration din is the time of the wedding and reception. I think for morning ceremony and day reception pwede na ok lang ang mga kids. Unlike evening events, Usually pagod na rin mga kids and honestly hindi naman sila mag eenjoy at mapupuyat lang. It will be better kung nasa bahay na lang sila to get a better sleep. Kung available at afford naman consider hiring a nanny for that night. Consider it as  free date na rin with your hubby.

Adult affair yung samin this December pero may limited kids din na part ng entourage but no babies. We are considering din to have another room (Subject for availability pa sa venue namin) for the kids to rest and watch dvd's. Yung ibang guests namin is already booked sa nearby hotel and mag sasama ng nanny or relatives nila na will stay with their kids. Gusto lang nila na malapit yung mga anak nila in case of emergency.

Hi! ask ko lang if kasama sa headcount ng caterer ang mga kids, like below 7 yrs old. Kasi I'm also bent on "imposing" a no-kids policy, except for the ento of course. Other than the reasons stated by most here, I'm considering also our budget eh. Thanks!

[j.adore]

We'll have around 5 closest kids only.

If the kids eat a lot, better to include them in the headcount. Otherwise, kids meals na lang sila. Caterers have that pati table for them.

We've specifically indicated in the invites number of seats saka names ng invited sa envelope.

[decibel28]

Definitely. We only want adult visitors, mejo ayaw kasi namin if may mga kids or babies na naiyak or running around during the reception, most especially during the ceremony. We will also include that in our invitation suite. We'll have kids din pero around 8 lang, they are the part of our entourage

[LilaFowler]

Mahirap din to say no kids. Siguro if sa Metro Manila yung wedding pwede. If oot, mahirap kasi yung iba ayaw iwan yung kids overnight with other people.

For us (DW), 3 lang kids namin. My stepdaughter (9), my cousin's son (1) and my dad's cousin's daughter (5).

[decibel28]

I agree with you LilaFowler, good thing our wedding will be in Tagaytay so somehow it's a bit manageable But still, we will put it on our invites.

Of course di maiiwasan ang mga pasaway hehe! My sister included that in their invites as well, and only 2 kids were part of the entourage. Meron pa ding guest na nagdala ng anak for the reason na walang mapapag iwanan. So ayun yung mga uncontrollable situation.

[pinaydiaspora]

Ours was an adult-only affair with the exception of 10 kids who were part of the entourage and two babies who were our niece and nephew. Other than that it's strictly for adult-invitees only. We didn't include them in the headcount since hindi practical and instead ordered a Jollibee meal and super nag enjoy pa sila while playing in their little area (mobile playhouse) that we got for them. Controlled lahat ng kids and wala nagpasaway.

[Tincywincy]

i saw one wedding sa bridestory na the flower girls are the lolas. sooo cute! hahaha the lolas , based on their smiles, looked like they enjoyed it too  and yes i would, kaya lang non negotiable ang role ng pamangkin ko and inaanak ni h2b so we chose nalang to go with the traditional.

[decibel28]

I hope na maging manageable din sa amin, pinaydiaspora Less than 10 naman ang chikitings so sana talaga hehe! What I need to know and need to find out from my caterer is the kids meal of course. That's not part kasi of our contract.

[pinaydiaspora]

decibel28 It will be. Just list down all your kids lang. Yeah better ask your caterer first for the kids meal and how much. Usually it's half the price per head. But as per our experience, kids are all happy na with Jollibee and just provide ice cream!

[decibel28]

Super good idea I think yung Jollibee, pinaydiaspora Baka kahit ako mapa Jollibee na din haha para quick meal lang. So yeah, I'll discuss it nalang with my caterer when I get home next month. Pati yung ice cream idea love ko

[marywater]

There was a wedding I attended. As soon as we all reach the reception venue, the kids were given happy meals plus coloring books and some crayons (parang yun yung takeaways nila and it got them busy while everyone was waiting for the couple). Super happy naman silang lahat.

Would you guys considering an adult only affair sa event nyo? Thanks!

We also opt to have an adult-only type of event. Plan is to just indicate in the invitations how hany seat/s will be reserved for them, and be strict with the RSVP. Even our entourage is a no-kids lineup.
