I'd take up the venue on their security offer and tell security to keep the parents out. I'd give security pictures because as someone on the reddit thread said, those parents would totally give fake names to get in.
I'm petty, so at the beginning of the party I'd welcome everyone and tell them why our parents aren't present.
