Congratulations! You’ve chosen a date for your special day, and better still, you’ve selected a fabulous destination for the occasion in beautiful, sunny Mexico. Destination weddings provide more than an opportunity for gorgeous wedding scenery in a tropical paradise: they also offer a great mini vacation to your guests. As such, it’s important to let them know about your plans well in advance. We recommend at least six months’ notice, but up to a year beforehand is ideal. After all, guests need time to make travel arrangements, update passports, and book time off for the trip.
There are plenty of unique and adorable beach wedding Save-the-Date ideas, and we’d like to share a few of our favorites. It’s important to note that while your Save-the-Date card can be simple and share only details such as your names, the date, and destination, you should also send either a companion guide or a link to your wedding website where guests can get information about RSVPing, your itinerary, travel details, accommodations, and anything else you need them to know ahead of the big day.
Paper Plane
For a nostalgic vibe, try sending Save-the-Dates in the form of a paper plane. Dress it up by using a letter print that makes your plane look like it traveled via international mail. Include Mexican stamps for an authentic, adorable touch!
Boarding Pass
Creating a Save-the-Date in boarding pass is both whimsical and a great reminder to your guests to book their flights. For the tech savvy among us, you can even include a QR code on the pass that links directly to your wedding website for travel information.
Luggage Tag
Luggage tags are a cute option that are easy for guests to keep the key information handy. Print yours with a map of your destination, or with a beach-themed design using starfish or seashells.
Passport
A passport serves as both a delightful invitation and a reminder to your guests about updating their passports. Try adding wax seals for an elegant touch or create a custom coat of arms that represents you and your future spouse.
Message in a Bottle
Save-the-Dates sent in mini bottles are unique and make a charming keepsake for your guests. Add a pinch of sand and tiny seashells at the bottom for an authentic beach feel. You can even customize the sand and seashells to match your wedding colors!
