How far out to plan a destination wedding

Thanks for the feedback. We are using a travel agent. I am actually very lucky in the fact that my mom owns a travel agency and has really cut down on my researching of different areas and resorts. It will also make it easy for our guests to book travel. I have already started verbally letting friends and family know so I think we are going to go ahead and book it. Yeah! Now all the fun begins!

Sounds like you are already on the ball. The best thing to do is get the word out especially to those people who you really really want to be there. I sent my save the dates in March and am getting married in Novemeber. I really didn't start doing any siginificant planning until 5 mos beforehand. Dress shopping of course was one of the most exciting!!! It'll all work out for you I am sure. And congrats!
