There are many types of wedding invitations on the market but in my opinion the best type of invitations to use for destination weddings are boarding passes and passports. Not only are they perfect for the theme but they are multi-page invitation that is usually bound together so the information you provide stays together.
The benefits of using a passport or a boarding pass invitation is the available space you have. When planning a destination wedding, your guests require a lot of information and they need it one place. Most destination weddings last anywhere from 3-5 days, and if you are planning a pre or post wedding event, like a rehearsal dinner or bon voyage breakfast, these little booklets give you so much space to add the information without having a bunch of cards that have the potential of being lost.
Your itinerary is not the only information you need to add. You can also include the travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, passport information and directions. You can also have a special thank you to your guests. These little gems make it the perfect invitation for your destination wedding.
How to set up your boarding pass or passport invitation
Boarding pass (perfect for cruise)

Page 4 Tear away RSVP card
Or you can have a separate RSVP use something like a luggage tag it ties your suite together perfectly!. And then everything is placed in a coordinating pocket or pocket folder
Another option is the passport. These little booklets are not only beautiful, but they provide a huge amount of space for all your information.
The passport invitation comes with quite a few pages at the basic level, but you can add as many pages as you need. Here are some of the pages you may need for your destination wedding.
