Please formally RSVP by October 1st 2025 after you have received your formal invitation.
We’re so excited to celebrate with our favorite people! While we’d love to welcome everyone, we’re keeping things intimate. If you’d like to bring a plus one, please reach out to Daniel at 312-527-2058 or danoh@umich.edu so we can confirm and add their name to the RSVP list. Thanks for understanding!
While most of Antigua is very walking friendly, Uber is widely accessible throughout the city and cost friendly. Just enter Convento Capuchinas as your destination and we will see you there! FYI, traffic between Antigua and Guatemala City is very bad (2+ hours) from 5am - 12 noon, because there is only one road local people take to work into the city. Make sure to book return flights after noon to avoid missing flights. For transportation related questions, please email Claudia via claudia@brideandgroomgt.com
Guatemala is known as the eternal spring or "la eterna primavera." It can get as high as 80F during the day and low around 60F at night. Bring layers!
Medical Facilities: In general, private hospitals are more reliable than public facilities. Please note that immediate cash payment is expected for health services. Water: It is best to stay on the safe side and only drink purified water, known as “agua pura” from bottles which can be accessed at nearly all restaurants, bars, etc. Sun: Always wear sunglasses and sunscreen. The sun in Central America is extremely strong, we recommend using at least SPF 30 or above and wearing a hat. Prevention: Use mosquito repellent especially when going to the Lake Atitlan, hiking up Pacaya Volcano or joining a Coffee Tour. Safety: As you should do when traveling anywhere, don’t wear eye-catching jewelry or carry big cameras out in the open. Please don’t leave your handbags unwatched in restaurants or cafés.
