Adding that I’m surprised there are people who presume their children are invited if their names are NOT specifically on the envelope, either individually or perhaps as “and Family.” I know there are, though. You can say “adults only,” but that doesn’t necessarily penetrate.

The response cards are a good defense against uninvited guests - if you invite John and Jane but the response cards indicate entree choices of 3 prime ribs and 2 chicken Marsalas, you’ll know that a problem looms. This is perhaps the best reason I can think of to ask for entree choices in the reception invitation - no one will give you a vague answer about how many to expect. :D
