Kids welcome but not expressly invited, how to word this?

[ImInStealthMode]

Hi Ladies

We're going to send our invites in the new year, eek! Invites will have a link to a website where all further information can be found.

We're not planning to name children specifically on the invites, but aren't averse to them coming if needs be. We know that the majority of our friends will grab any excuse to get babysitters and let their hair down, but circumstances may mean that doesn't work for everyone in which case they are welcome to bring them along and we'll make sure they're well catered for.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to word this on the website information we're supplying to guests?

Thanks

Don't overthink it. People will ask you if their kids can come if they're unsure.

Just name the couple on the invite and they will get in touch to ask about kids. Or when they RSVP you can just ask them if they're bringing the kids.

I think if you're more explicit there's a risk of it sounding like you don't really want the kids there but will tolerate them if they have to be - which isn't very pleasant really.
