To think "adults only evening" sounds so wrong?!

I'm sorry but I'm about to mention the c word........... Christmas. [santa]

So I'm organising an evening or two in a restaurant which is usually family friendly 24/7 as a Christmas special event - think candlelight, wine deals, set menu and live music. I want part of its draw to be that it's for only adults - how do I phrase this in the name of the evening? Can't call it an "adults only evening" as I've a feeling people are going to get the wrong impression!!

Something witty, festive and classy that suggests it's only for adults would be ideal, please help!!!

Child free Christmas cracker.....

Do you think calling it an adult only evening will make people think it's for swingers? I'd read it as child free. I'm sure you'll have a good evening either way.

Grown ups only?

@SchrodingersBox yeah I think it sounds like a swingers party or like there's gonna be Ann summers reps or something idk ConfusedGrin that's my first thoughts...

Charge £75 a head and nobody will bring their kids!

"Child free zone dinner dance"?

sirmione16 · 29/07/2018 19:16

Child free sounds better

@Shoppingwithmother Grin lol!

Realistically I'm thinking approx £28 for a glass of bubbly or beer (soft drink alternative) with 4 courses and of course there's live music throughout

I just think people will still turn up with kids if it's not clear 🙈

Nothing wrong with saying, "Adults only" if it's in a restaurant or you could say, "A night out for the grown ups". Sounds lovely, can I come?

Festive Dinner Dance then in small print underneath, 18+.

Shoppingwithmother · 29/07/2018 19:30

Yes, I agree with Nap - just give the event a name, then underneath say over 18s/ adults only - don’t make it part of the title.

Just call it a grown-up get together, or something like that?
