If you are staying at a hotel, they are highly likely to offer transportation to and from the airport. If you are looking for an alternative, you can book directly with Antigua Tours using the link below. Cost is $25 one way or $45 round trip. You can also book tours and activities through them: https://antiguatoursweddings.net/moscoso-and-martinez-wedding/ Once in Antigua, the town is pretty walkable. You can take Ubers or Tuk Tuks to get around.
We politely request no children attend the reception due to safety restrictions of our venue. We appreciate your understanding. Consider it a parents weekend out...in Antigua :)
Unfortunately due to space limitations and our desire to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, we can only extend invitations to married/engaged family and friends.
For the welcome reception: Cocktail Attire. For the wedding day: Black-tie-optional or formal attire. We ask that you wear a tuxedo or suit and tie in any color. Alternatively, an evening gown or floor length dress would be appropriate.
Indoors.
In late June and early July, Antigua Guatemala experiences its rainy season. Expect warm temperatures during the day, typically around 70–80°F (21–27°C), with cooler evenings around 55–65°F (13–18°C). Rain showers are frequent, usually in the afternoons or evenings, but mornings are often dry and pleasant. The humidity is relatively high, so pack light, breathable clothing, and a rain jacket just in case.
It is not that the incidence of crime is low, it is practically nil, there are no records in recent years of violent assaults, sexual assaults, against life or others. In these towns, the indigenous authorities are the ones that regulate the norms of coexistence (they are extremely hard and exemplary with whoever wants to transgress them) and their rules and laws are respected. Antigua has cameras and alarms all throughout for added safety. Just like you would travel to any other international country, we recommend you to travel smart and alert. For example, don't take large sums of cash on you, leave your passport locked away, travel in pairs/groups, etc.
Tipping is not expected in Guatemala, unless to reward exceptional service. If you tip, 10% is the standard. Sometimes a restaurant will include a tip on the bill under "propina," so you do not need to tip

No, Guatemala uses the same standard plug as the US, so your electronics should charge without issue.
In general, restaurant food is safe while folks should avoid street food. To avoid getting sick, keep these additional tips in mind. Veggies: if you can peel it, you can eat it. Water: we recommend only drinking filtered or bottled water -- including the water for brushing your teeth.
