How to get through immigration and customs like a pro
THE FORMS
During your flight into Cancun, the flight attendant *might* distribute customs or immigration forms. The forms aren’t quite as straightforward as they seem. They seem pretty self-explanatory, but Americans often get two things wrong on the form - the month, day, and birthday format we use is different from theirs. Look closely, because they’ll want the day before the month. Second, and you will get sent back to the line if you make this mistake, the bottom portion of the form is filled out by you.
The other (newer and better option) is to complete the forms and print them before you leave home. You can pre-complete your tourist immigration form online if you have a valid passport and are traveling to Mexico within 30 days. Find it here: www.mexicotouristcard.com/.
Whether you complete it at home or at the airport, remember to keep the part they return to you with your passport after it's been stamped. YOU WILL NEED IT TO GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY. DON’T LOSE IT. If you lose it, it can be replaced, but it is an ordeal that might mean you miss your flight.
Everything You Could Ever Need
After a dozen or so trips to Cancun, we've got the all-inclusive packing down! It turns out you don't need much daytime wear - you're usually in a swimsuit and coverup. You can't be wet for lunch (so you might want to pack a change if you're going to be fresh out of the pool), but a coverup and flip flops is fine.
You do need resort clothes for dinner and a night out. For gentlemen, shirts or T-shirts with sleeves and long pants or formal bermuda are required in all a la carte restaurants.
Getting to the Resort
Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres is about 45 minutes from the Cancun airport. Travel arrangements can be booked through our travel agent on our booking site for $94 per room roundtrip. If you prefer to arrange private transportation, I recommend USA Transfers.
Are children welcome to attend the wedding ceremony and reception?
We love your little ones, we really do! However, we respectfully request no littles the night of the wedding. Respectfully, we tryna turn up.
Are plus ones or extra guests welcome at events hosted by the wedding party?
You're welcome to travel with whomever you’d like! Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we simply can’t allow for all our lovely guests to bring plus ones to wedding events. If you have received a plus one, it will be indicated when you RSVP.
Is there a dress code?
For the wedding day, please wear cocktail attire - suits and party dresses. Please avoid wearing full white or mostly white outfits.
