About

It all started with our destination wedding…

A destination wedding just made sense. Since the day we met, Dave and I knew we both shared the same passion for travel. In our first two years together we traveled the world. It was our passion for travel and excitement that bonded us so quickly. We knew we wanted our special day to be warm, relaxing, and for us to be able to share it with our closest loved ones.

As with any wedding, the planning process was a bit stressful. But creating our passport invitations was such a blast! Knowing that the idea had already been done before, we wanted ours to be different. We envisioned our passports to look like a professional and detailed brochure, full of vibrant color, and one that included EVERYTHING our guests needed about their vacation and our wedding celebration!

We carefully documented each step, and decided to start a DIY blog on WeddingBee to help other brides. The blog was merely intended as a guide for the adventurous DIY-er’s, as we were the first to incorporate the idea of making the passport wedding invitation a full travel brochure, and (more importantly) know how to make it look professional, using the industry-leading Adobe Creative Suite. What started out as sharing our template to a few 'Now Jade' brides, turned into us making templates for several other ‘sister’ AM Resorts (Now, Dreams, Secrets, etc.).

We have now helped over 5,000 brides and currently have over 30 resort templates all over the Caribbean (Riviera Maya, Jamaica, Dominican Republic) as well as Cabo and Puerto Vallarta, Fiji, and new ones are being added each month! Our Facebook Group has over 1,000 active brides and grooms, sharing their wonderful ideas and helpful suggestions.

Today, our brides have the freedom to be involved in as little or as much as they want with their invitations. Some purchase our generic template, watch our videos, and do everything on their own (we love seeing photos of their finished invites!) Others have us do it all from “Start to Finish” and some even have us print and cut the invitations and ship to them un-assembled, just so they can do the finishing touches themselves! We are the only ones in the industry that offer this level of service. And we love what we do!!! (And we’re cheaper than our competition too!)

We love helping others, it’s what we do! Our commitment to quality, customer service, and our attention to detail are what sets us apart from the rest! We hope to hear from you soon!

Unique and detailed

These Save the Dates and Invitations are really unique. They are unlike any other wedding invitations you will see. They're very hands on and make sure you feel important.

I had a custom order that came to life before my eyes! I had a vision for a bridal shower experience game and Vanessa and her team of designers put together exactly what I was hoping for. We discussed and edited a few versions over the course of a few days but overall was a very simple process. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Wow these invites - unique and they floored me and everyone that received them! The final product is as basic or as extravagant as your taste and budget allow. I wanted to start our wedding off with an exclamation point and boy did these invites deliver !!! We did a set in English and another order in Spanish. Our guests were passing them around to family and friends and our headcount went from an expected 25-30 to a total of 74!!!! Hahahaha. I did them myself (love that they now offer the graphic artists) & wrapped them in the perfect packaging with a little silver anchor and starfish charm. No one, except for 3, sent back the boarding pass RSVP because they said they were too cool and pretty to part with. Dealing with Dave and Vanessa was just the best. They were a destination wedding couple so they totally understand !!!! Kudos to this company and wishing you many years of success that is well deserved !!!!!!!

Order them!! Passport invitations should be mandatory for all destination weddings especially if you get them from Vanessa. She answered all my questions. Everything was done on time and you can create your own unique design. Their ideas helped improve on things I wouldn't think of. I cannot wait until our guests see them. The size and feel is as if you have an actual passport. The ideas are endless

If you are having a destination wedding...you NEED these. Vanessa and her team are true pros - they make sure everything is easy to understand and they are there to help in any way needed.

I looked everywhere to find a company that could make passport invitations for me after i saw the idea on pintrest. I really couldnt find anything that looked legit and looked exactly like a passport. I am here to tell you that Vanessas invites are the real deal.

I purchased the region template for the passport (Playa del Carmen) and i edited it myself (mainly just fill in your names, dates and specific resort info because they already make the template so beautiful). Once you are done editing you follow the easy instructions to upload your files back to their website and then i had them print and assemble everything for me (i recommend this so they come out flawless).

During the proofing process Vanessa even had me send her the original pictures i used so she could lighten them up - showing she really cared about everything looking perfect!

During the ordering process i chose to add the envelopes. They are beautiful and the perfect size - i highly recommend.

I also purchased the template for the boarding passes and edited those. Vanessa's team printed those as well and they turned out amazing.

I can't say enough nice things about this whole experience. The finished product was delivered to me 2 days after i ordered them and they are absolutely incredible.

I just got my wedding invitations and RSVPs in the mail yesterday. They are beautiful! I purchased the template and designed it. Vanessa and Dave printed and hand threaded the invitations. They are stunning! A few work colleagues asked if they can keep it if I have any extras left! Thank you so much! I highly recommend to anyone that is thinking about it :)

We were so happy to come across Vanessa's Passport Invitations. It was such a unique idea -- we immediately fell in love. We had to self teach ourselves how to use Adobe Illustrator, but it was worth it. The outcome was perfect. We received rave reviews when guests began receiving their invitations.

I am not sure I could say enough good things about these innovations. The templates were easy to use and customize, and any part I did not do well they improved. I was shocked how quickly they arrived and though they looked fabulous.

However, I think the best endorsement would be what I just heard today. Someone that had verbally told me they would not be able to make the wedding when I sent the Save the Dates, just RSVP’ed Yes, and booked their flights. When speaking with the husband tonight, I told him how happy I was they had changed their minds. He stated that his wife saw the invitation and said it was the cutest invitation she had ever seen and they had to attend the wedding that went with them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
