Kid free formal celebrations are perfectly accepted in todays society. Usually, kid free celebrations include some exceptions to immediate family; for example, if the quinceanera has a young sibling or if your immediate out of town guests include children. If a kid fee quinceanera is what you are planning, make sure to make that clear on the invitations.  

On RSVP cards – instead of saying number of guests say “number of adults”

On invitation – you can add one of the following:

• Join us for an adult only celebration
• This is an adult only occasion
• Come celebrate with us at an adults-only quinceanera
• Reception is an adults-only affair

Most guests will be respectful of your wishes—but do make some time to call and confirm that the invitation was received.  If they ask if they can bring their kid(s) respectfully let them know that you can not make exceptions for one guest and not the others.  Also explain that it is a costly event per guest, adult and/or children.  Encourage them to enjoy the night kid free and make it a DATE NIGHT.
