This can be a tricky situation, because you do run the risk of alienating people who have children or who believe their children should be able to attend. Unfortunately, there really is no proper way to tell some people "your kids can come" while telling others that children aren't allowed. If you don't want children at your wedding, that should be enforced across the board.
However, don't feel guilty -- it's your day and it should go as you want it. First of all, enlist the help of family and friends to get the word out that you don't want children attending the wedding. When you address the wedding invitations, leave off the names of any children and only include the adults.
On your invitations, it might be best to make it even more clear without literally saying "don't bring the kids." You might include the words "Adult only," or, on the reply cards, you might say something like "seats for the two of you have been reserved," making it clear that only the two adults are invited.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
