Flying is definitely the best way to get there. (It's only 1.5 hours from Central Texas!) Just don't forget that passport! If you don't have one yet, you can use the following website to help guide you through the process, but try to get it soon. Routine passport processing can take 6-8 weeks or more, not including mailing time. https://www.usa.gov/passport
The airport you’d fly into is Mexico City International Airport (MEX) or (AICM) also named Benito Juárez International Airport. Do NOT fly into Aeropuerto Internacional Felipe Ángeles (AIFA or NLU), it is too far and inconvenient.
Uber is your best bet. It's cheap, safe and reliable. For bonus points, share your ride status with a friend! We would not recommend renting a car and driving yourself.
Exchanging your currency in the airport before leaving the U.S. is the best option. Most major credit cards are accepted, just check if yours has a foreign transaction fee. Currently 1 USD = 17.1879 MXN. A quick conversion tip is remove a zero and divide by 2, for example, if something costs 200 pesos you can guestimate it to a little over $10 (actual cost $11.56).
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The dress code is formal this means dark suits and floor-length gowns. No jeans or casual wear please.
If your guest name is listed on your invite and when you RSVP, then yes! Your invitation will be made out to "Your Name & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on your invitation, so we ask that you do not bring a guest. We want to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family. Thank you for understanding.
We love your little ones, however, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. Thank you for understanding.
You will be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "no", so that we can plan accordingly.
Many people don't realize that Mexico City is over 7,000 ft. in elevation. So we recommend staying very hydrated your first couple of days there. The weather is pretty predictable in August... mid 50s at night to mid 70s during the day. It could rain, too, so bringing layers is a safe choice.
Mexico City is predominately a non-smoking city and has many areas where smoking is prohibited. Be sure to read signs and be cautious.
15% gratuity is normal in restaurants. Typically if someone offers their assistance such as with your luggage at a hotel, tipping is expected.
All shades of blue, especially dusty blue. Shades of green like sage and emerald. Silvers and misty gray. Please feel free to wear any of these colors to compliment the wedding vibe!
Alcohol is complementary on Aeromexico. Ask for tequila!
"M" stands for "Mujeres" aka Women not "Men". Men would be "H" for "Hombres".
