Is it rude if I put "no kiddos" on an invite?

It is for DH's suprise bday party at a resturant. I know his family and our friends wont bring their kids, but two of my family members will and one of them just doesn't sit down in the seat for more then a few minutes (ggrrr) and I dont want to deal with that...so on his invite can I put " no kiddos please"?

lol, you could even put "Adults Only Please"  and i think that is a nice way to get your point across.

You could say it in a fun way to get your point across without being rude like "Come live it up with us and leave the kiddo's at home!" or "Come party the nite away and leave the kiddos at home", "Leave the kiddo's at home and come Live it up with us".

IDK something like that.

I'm presuming that you're kids will be staying at home, too?  (it would be wierd if you brought your kids but told others to get babysitters)

If so, you could include a line like:  "We've made plans to leave our kids at home, call your local babysitter for a Grown-Ups night out!"

Not at all.  I would say "Adult's Only" discretly at the bottom.  Make sure you send out the invites in plenty of time for people to get baby-sitters.  I know I received an invite for something this summer that never said adults only but was addressed to just DH and I.  We honestly didn't even think about not bringing the kids until my SIL asked me if we were able to find a sitter as her future SIL was having an issue.  (It was a small party hosted by by future BIL's friends and was an all afternoon type of thing).  We assumed since it was a small party at someone's cabin that of the course were included so make sure people know for sure.
