Please remind your guests of new passport requirements

I know alot of you have wedding websites that have passport info on it or travel agents that remind your wedding guests of the new passport requirements but for the "self-bookers" out there...the guests that are booking on the internet...

please remind them that they now need passports to fly out of the country...no ifs, ands or BUTS!

there have been an influx of "self-bookers" that have shown up at the airports only to be turned away. they never needed a passport before to travel and did not realize the laws have changed.

Please, please, please make sure they understand the new requirements.

Thanks for the reminder Tammy. It is so hard to "remind everyone". We tried to remind them our STDs by saying "Passports required". Hopefully, everyone makes it to Mexico for our wedding.
