that a birthday party is for adults only?
What can you say on the invitation other than 'No Kids' or 'Adults Only'? Or is that acceptable?

"Please" changes everything. I would say:
Adults only please.

I have been to a party that had adults only but she arraged for a baby sitter to be at her house for the people that couldn't find one. That was her way of being nice. Some thing to think about. (the kids were in the game room) (she provided them with soad, pizza, and a movie, along with some games.)

I've heard this question before and the answer I heard was that it impolite to say "No Kids" on the invitation, but if you know that some people might want to bring their kids, you can call them a few days before the party and ask them if they have found a babysitter yet. They might get the hint.

Adults Only works. Isn't it unfortunate that people seem to think their kids should tag along to every party or function these days?

It's completely acceptable to state "adults only please" on any invitation to any event. It's also advisable in these days of so many people not having the common sense to figure out what function children should not be brought to.

Adults only is fine and yes it is . If there is going to alcohol that's the best thing you could do as an adult.
Don't involve the children. you could have a second small BD party for family and children

Maybe you could try to say it like "Get a babysitter for the kids and come party with "the grown-ups"
Or
If you want to be uber polite you could get a couple sitters available in one central location and then write on the invite that a sitter is provided and for X dollars per child. (Or you could just pay for the sitter yourself if you really wanted to be SUPER nice.

there is not any thank you to offer grotesque information with out it being - nicely - grotesque. you're able to nicely be well mannered, however the message is what it quite is. If it is going to embarass the guy, then there is not any thank you to gown that up via any selection of words or trick of transport. merely pull the guy aside and say it - hi guy, i don't know in case you're attentive to it, yet wow, you bought somewhat a BO factor happening - merely had to be certain you recognize, you recognize, so which you would be able to restoration it or regardless of -

Just ask people to please RSVP, and when they do, say, "So, Mary, we will put you and Mark down for two then!" If Mary then says, "Oh, make that four, we'll have the kids with us." Then say, "Oh, we're really not planning it to be a family night. We're getting a sitter ourselves, so why don't you plan to leave the kids with Grandma and Grandpa and come out for some grown up chat?"
If people don't RSVP, then call them and ask them if they're coming or not.
