The short answer
Name the invited guests per household, state the adults only rule once in warm words, and offer a solution for parents. This post gives you wordings that stay kind and clear.
Filipino families travel together. Without a clear line, parents assume kids are included. A short polite note plus named seats prevents most misunderstandings.
Key Takeaways
1. Name invited guests and seats per household on every message.
2. State the adults only rule once in warm words on site and invitation.
3. Explain the reason in one line with limited seats.
4. Offer help like a kids room when you can.
5. Keep it short and consistent everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
What about breastfeeding infants?
Allow infants under one year by name exception. Tell those parents privately so the public rule stays simple and the exception stays quiet.
Should we offer a kids room?
Offer one when budget allows. One supervised room near the reception with food saves many parents. If you cannot offer it, say so once and move on.
How do we handle guests who still bring kids?
Brief your coordinator with one line: seat extra kids in the overflow area when space allows, or with parents at the back. Decide the rule once so no debate happens on the day.
Conclusion
Named seats plus one warm line in three places. That is enough. Update your site FAQ, insert card, and private messages in one pass today.
