Children Free Baby Shower

What is the proper way to say no childrens allowed on the invitation for a baby shower?

Our Answer:

Thank you for etiquette question. Wording the baby shower invitation correctly can be a little tricky. The best way is to let the expectations be known as clearly and softly as possible on the invitation.

I gave a few suggestions in a answer recently for a no kids baby shower that might be of help to you as you word the invitation.

I also came acrossed another wording example recently that might also work for you...

Leave your housework, the phone, your kids and any other distractions at home and come help (name) celebrate the upcoming arrival of her new baby!

Good luck with planning the baby shower!

Shower Dilemma
by: Darla

I can't figure out where to submit my question, so I'm just typing it here! My husband and I live near his family, which is 5 hours away from my family. When we got married, I had ten bridesmaids- half of them were from home, and the other half from out here- so they hosted 2 separate showers for me, and both sides of families and friends attended. However, now that I'm pregnant, my mom is hosting my hometown shower for me, but my mother-in-law has not mentioned anything about hosting a shower out here. It's ridiculous to think that anyone would travel 5 hours for a shower, otherwise, I would just tell my mother to invite my husband's side. How do we address this situation? I have no other family members out here- so who else would host it? I can't possibly expect my bridemaids to host my baby shower- so isn't it my mother-in-law's responsibily? I don't want to "ask",as I feel rude, but I'm a little surprised that she hasn't offered. Any advice in this situation?

"Adults Only Please"
by: Anonymous

I don't get offended when I see "Adults Only Please" at the bottom of an invitation so that is an option. Or you could word it so it is known that it's a "Ladies Only" event.
