Have a wedding to go to in May in the Mayan Riviera and if we could fly into and out of Belize for half the price, that'd be pretty sweet. Just wouldn't want to run into any trouble at the border or anything.

A lot of people fly into Cancun and bus it down to Belize, but I think it's around 12 hours each way. I think you need to transfer in Chetumal.
Very rare for someone to have the incentive to do that in reverse because Cancun is typically a *lot* cheaper to get to than Belize, at least, it was up until this year.
Fairly common to see flights for around $500ish or less (roundtrip after taxes) to CUN, but before this year it was rare to see flights to Belize for too much under $1000. There's a lot more competition to CUN than to Belize, thanks to Westjet, and all the charter flights.
So I really don't know if it would be worth it for you to fly into Belize and bus it back and forth unless your potential savings are nominal. There's also the fact that flights to Belize are typically a *lot* longer than to Cancun, which would make it even less worth it.
This is the first time in history that flights to Belize have been cheaper than to Mexico.
