Hey ladies,

 

I'm getting married at a family friendly resort as we have a lot of guests who have small children and probably don't want to leave them behind for a week.

 

That said, I don't want children at the ceremony, nor the reception, and my fiance and I are going to pay for babysitting services for that evening. However, I have no clue how I word that on the RSVP cards. I was thinking something along the lines of:

 

"Your children are welcome to join us for the week, however for the ceremony and the reception, we will provide babysitting services for your children for the evening".

 

I don't know how to say it such that I don't sound like a complete jerk.

That doesn't sound too bad. How about " we are excited that this can be a family vacation for our guests. During the adult ceremony and reception, we have arranged for child care on our resort so that the children can have their own party" maybe you can arrange for the kids to have their own reception? I'm not sure if the resort sitters do this, but I'm sure if you are providing the private sitting, they would be happy to help you arrange for whatever play activities you plan. Good luck

This sounds great! And I love the idea of them having a little party too!

I like the "During the adult ceremony and reception..." part. That sounds a bit nicer for sure.

Ok, how about this?

 

We are excited that you and your family can join us!

 

During the adult ceremony and reception, we have arranged for child care at the resort such that the children can have their own celebration.

 

Please RSVP for the adults in your party only.

 

What do you guys think? Is the last part Jerk-ish?

I think this sounds subtle, yet to the point and guests will understand.

You might also want to know how many kids you'll need babysitters for?

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
