No kids at a wedding... What age do they stop being kids?

Just that really, what age would they start to be invited to weddings that say no kids invited?

I honestly cannot understand why you would think that two people not named on the invite would be invited regardless of their age. I really do not envy people planning weddings.

Who is getting married - are they relatives or friends?

Why on earth would people expect the dcs to get a separate invite to us, they are students and live at home, they are 17 and 20 just now

Because they are not children. You could argue the youngest is under 18, but that fact bears no relevance to posts already given, as you have the age as 18 so people have formed responses based on that.

*gave the age

@ssd if it just says yours and DHs name I would assume it is just the two of you. They would have written '& family' or something along those lines if your DC were invited.

Traditional etiquette does dictate that all adults get a separate invitation even if living at the same address unless a couple. I did some jiffy bags with multiple enveloped invitations to the same address in this case.

If they’re 18 and 21 do they even want to go to a family wedding? Probably pretty dull for them

My dp wasn't invited to his cousins wedding because it was no children ... he was 24 at the time.
Just ask!

They are not ‘kids’, they are adults, and if they are not named on the invitation, they are not invited unless it specifically says “and family”.

Okay thanks everyone

They are clearly not invited

It clearly wasn't the no children rule, otherwise there would be no guests at all. No children only covers children. Not adults. I would assume her wasn't invited for some other reason.

We had a no children policy- invited our cousins who have a 21 year old daughter.... we wrote the daughter a separate invitation.
