Dress Code: Formal

Dress to impress! We’d love for our guests to embrace the colorful, stylish spirit of Mexico City.

For women: Formal midi or floor-length dresses. Bright colors, prints, interesting textures, and statement looks are all encouraged.

For men: Suits are requested, but feel free to have some fun. Classic dark suits are always welcome, as are lighter or more expressive shares like tan, olive, or green.

Think formal first, Mexico City chic second. Most importantly, wear something you feel great in. There’s absolutely no need to buy a whole new outfit…unless you’ve been looking for an excuse to do so :).

March is one of the best times of year in Mexico City. Expect warm, sunny days and cooler evenings, with temperatures typically reaching the mid-to-upper 70s°F during the day and dropping into the 40s–50s°F at night. We recommend bringing a light layer for the evenings, especially if you plan to spend time outside.

And, of course, check the forecast before you pack!

A little bit of both! Our wedding will take place at General Prim 30, which has beautiful indoor spaces as well as an open-air courtyard. You’ll get to enjoy the Mexico City air without spending the entire evening outside.

Yes! We’ll be providing Uber vouchers for transportation to and from the wedding. More details on how to use them will be shared closer to the weekend.

Outside of the wedding, Mexico City is incredibly walkable, particularly in the neighborhoods where we’re recommending guests stay. Depending on traffic, walking can often be faster than calling an Uber! As you would in any major city, stay aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone late at night.

Head over to the Travel page! We’ve put together a map with recommended hotels, Airbnbs, neighborhoods, and other helpful spots so you can find something that works for your trip.

We recommend staying in one of the areas highlighted on the map, which will also make getting to the weekend’s festivities easier.

Our welcome party will be Friday evening (03/05/27), so we recommend arriving by Friday afternoon at the latest if you’d like to participate in all of the weekend’s festivities.

That said, Mexico City sits at a high elevation — over 7,000 feet above sea level — and it can take a little time to adjust. If your schedule allows, consider flying in Wednesday (03/03/27) or Thursday (03/04/27). It’s a great excuse to spend an extra day or two exploring this beautiful city while giving yourself some time to acclimate before the celebrations begin.

You will need a valid passport to travel to Mexico from the United States. U.S. citizens traveling to Mexico for tourism generally do not need to obtain a visa in advance for a short visit.

If you don’t currently have a valid passport — or yours is expiring — please take care of it early. We strongly recommend applying for or renewing your passport no later than early November, and earlier is always better. Processing times can change, so don’t leave this one until the last minute!

Before traveling, please confirm the current entry requirements that apply to your citizenship and itinerary.

We recommend sticking with bottled or properly filtered water rather than drinking directly from the tap. Most restaurants and hotels catering to travelers use purified water and ice, but when in doubt, it never hurts to ask.

Keep it in mind for the little things, too — use bottled or filtered water when brushing your teeth if you want to be extra cautious, and try not to swallow water in the shower. Staying hydrated is especially important while you’re adjusting to Mexico City’s elevation, so keep a bottle handy!

The local currency is the Mexican peso (MXN). Credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops, but it’s a good idea to have some pesos on hand for smaller purchases, markets, tips, and places that may not accept cards.

Unlike some of Mexico’s major beach destinations, U.S. dollars aren’t commonly used for everyday purchases in Mexico City, so plan to pay in pesos or by card.

You’ll be able to include dietary restrictions when you RSVP, and we’ll make sure they’re communicated to our catering team.

If you have an allergy, restriction, or other concern that needs a little more explanation than the RSVP allows, please reach out to Tess or Josh directly.

Before the wedding: Tess is your go-to! You can reach her at 224-361-9287.

On the wedding day: Tess will be a little busy getting married, so please resist the urge to call the bride. Tess’s Man of Honor, Luke, will be available to help with anything that comes up.

That said, please check the website first — we’ve tried to answer everything you’ll need here so Luke can spend as much of the day as possible celebrating with us, too!

Yes! You can absolutely visit Mexico City without speaking Spanish, but it’s worth knowing that CDMX is not like Cancun or Cabo, where English is much more widely spoken. In Mexico City, especially outside of tourist-focused areas, you’ll come across plenty of people who don’t speak English.

You can still get around just fine with a translation app (e.g., Google Translate, a little patience, and a few basic Spanish phrases. Locals generally appreciate when you make an effort to speak Spanish, even if it’s just “hola,” “por favor,” and “gracias.”

You don’t need to be fluent, but having some basic Spanish will definitely make your experience easier and more enjoyable.

Our wedding will be adults-only, so children are not invited. We completely understand that many of our friends and family have young children, and we know this may require some extra planning. If you have specific questions or want to talk through your circumstances, please feel free to reach out to us, we’re happy to chat!

Sadly, no. Moose is a French bulldog, which means he snores at cruising altitude, overheats in direct sunlight, and has the international travel stamina of a baked potato. He'll be holding down the fort in Austin, where he'll be spoiled rotten and completely unaware he's missing anything. He sends his regards, and by regards we mean he sneezed on the invitation
