Mrs. Elephant had an at home wedding, but she loves to travel **and wanted to share that love with her guests. So if you're not having a destination wedding you could still send your guests on a trip with these **passport wedding invitations. Though they are a great way to get your guests in the mood for your overseas wedding, especially if they will be needing a passport!
