    Hello ladies!  I'm having a cruise wedding....in that we've invited everyone to either cruise with us or go to the island (we're getting off at our island, getting married on the beach, then getting back on and cruising..). 

    So...when should we send out our invitations?  We've sent out our save the dates 12 months out, and sent a postcard reminder 6 months out in November (since the cruiseline is releasing all our non-booked rooms Jan 2nd and rates are NOT guaranteed after that).

    I don't want to send them out too early, but I also have a lot to do depending on who is going on which 'trip'.  Is it crazy under these circumstances to send them out in early February and have a March 1 RSVP date?  I'd have to imagine people would know by then if they are going or not.....This is the one point that destination weddings stink - there's barely any history/ettiquite to go off of!  :)

    I think early feb with a march 15 cut off date.  that way people will know what type of income tax refund they are getting back and how to budget their cash accordingly.
