What is the best way to ensure that no children attend our wedding/reception?

We are planning an intimate wedding/reception and don't want children under the age of 15 present. We know this is a touchy situation.

i did this and it was a bitter ending. if you mean no children that you have to omit your families children also! so no little neices or nephews etc...

this was a sore subject for many of my family members for years. but our reception was very catered to adults only and it wouldnt have been safe/fun for children to be running around a yacht.

be careful with this choice. but if you do, give plenty of notice.

I'll be brave on this one and be the first to comment, this is your ceremony, most parents would understand that if they had time to know in advance, as in the invitation that the wedding is an adult only affair, they would make arrangments for small children and babies. I think time, and notice are key. Afterwards it would seem awkward it wasn't stated in invitation in a tactful way.
