Ever hear the phrase, “the journey is the destination”? Michelle and Rick took it to heart when they decided to get married on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship! They asked me to create passport-themed destination wedding invitations for them.
These “passports” had a lot of the details of a real passport–with a few extras! The outside of the invitation used the U.S. seal, but you’ll notice it says “the United Marriage of Michelle Sadowy & Rick Hazelett” instead of “the United States of America”.
In addition to the usual wedding invitation message, the inside pages featured a passport-style picture of Michelle and Rick, palm tree and cruise ship watermarks, and ocean imagery along the bottom of the pages detailing cruise information and the ship’s itinerary. The cruise started in Fort Lauderdale and made stops in the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
It’s fairly common for couples who have destination weddings to host a second reception back home. That way, they can include friends and family who were unable to travel. Michelle and Rick did exactly that–I’ll post their reception invitation on Friday!
Michelle and Rick, you guys were so lucky to have your wedding in such a magical place! I hope it was everything you imagined.
