How do I send an invitation that states no siblings allowed?

birthday party invitations for adults image

Frances

I'm having a bowling birthday party and the venue only holds 50 people (this includes kids and adults) and my child is turning 4 so a lot of times both parents plus siblings come. Honestly, I would like it to state 1 parent and no siblings but that's a bit extreme. Any help appreciated.

Answer
Etiquette is about graciousness and respect, especially when it entails "thorny" situations. So informing your guests that the event is by invite only, and that only the invited child is welcome to come should be done tactfully. While standard etiquette would suggest that no one except the invited party is to attend, it is not uncommon for parents to assume the younger siblings are welcome. In order to insure that you abide by the limitations of the venue one suggestion would be to place a note at the bottom of the invitation: "Venue has limited capacity, please no siblings or additional guests".

Whats a polite way to tell a friend they cant bring their daughter to a dinner party?

I already sent out the invitations and did not put "adults only" on it for fear that they will think its a party to get drunk, because thats the type of people they are. it is only adults coming and their child is a spoiled whiney bratty 3 year old. this kid disrupts the whole party with tantrums.
so whats a nice way to say adults only without seeming like an invitation to get smashed?

(the birthday party is at a restaurant and everyone is paying for themselves)

Answer
Call them on the telephone and tell them that you forgot to put "for adults only". If they say they cannot come then so be it, your party will still be a success without them.
