What's the most polite way to tell your relatives not to bring their kids to your wedding?

Asked by kheredia (5566points) February 15th, 2011

I’m getting married in June and we’re not having a big wedding but I have a pretty large family and they all have kids under 10 years old. We’re having a small dinner party at a friends house but she has a pool in her back yard, so aside from not wanting a bunch of little kids running around, I don’t want to be worrying about a child falling into the pool on my wedding day. I mentioned this to my mom and she thinks that some of our relatives will be offended if I tell them not to bring children on the invitation.

Frankly, I don’t care if they get offended or not but I guess my mom does and I don’t want to upset her so I don’t know how to go about this small dilemma. Any ideas?
