I'd like to speak in defense of destination weddings. I'm a travel agent (call me!) and there are times when they make a great deal of sense. No, that time is not when you are a 25 year old and you're inviting all of your sorority sisters and his brothers and 200 other people. But I did a great wedding for a couple who were blending families, most of the kids were post-high school, and it was just them attending. They had an all-inclusive for a week, the wedding itself was free and 100% handled by the rep at the hotel in St. Lucia. In that case, you send wedding ANNOUNCEMENTS not invitations. Although as the travel agent, I'd have been all over having them send 30 customers my way. Princess cruises does a great wedding package, Sandals does them for free (for bare bones - you have to spend big bucks if you wanted a very traditional wedding). It is harder to get married outside the US, but really, it's still less work than figuring out table configurations and fighting with the caterer, etc. You just either can't expect anybody to go OR you pay for them to go.
