Is there a nice way to say one parent per child?

I just booked DS's 3rd birthday party. But I have SOOOO many kids and the room only holds 50 people. I know most people will probably come with their spouses even if they only have 1 kid. So is there a nice way I can say one parent per child without insulting anyone?

Maybe just put "Space is Limited, One parent per child please"

I wouldn't be insulted by that.

Someone's always going to be insulted no matter what, lol. I'd find a way to phrase it so as to convey that you want to be sure there is enough room to accommodate all of the kiddo's. I don't have a brilliant suggestion, but def. try to get that point across Chat Icon

I'm not sure there is a "nice way" of saying it. Maybe address the invite to the child. Then their parents may realize it's a party basically for children?

We got an invitation that basically said the above. No big deal.

We had a similar situation. I didn't say anything on the invite but told everyone about it when I talked to them. I had it where DD takes Music Together in our neighborhood, and most of the people invited were familiar with the space, so I thought they would understand. Most came with both 2 parents anyway.... it was crowded, but it worked.
