Destination Wedding Invitation help!

MOHDIANA

I am getting married in Oct 2014

My resort needs to have all of the rooms booked in our block by July 11th 2014

My question is when should I send out my invitations? 2/3 months before July 11th?  

I already sent out save the dates and I have a wedding website. I just want to make sure that people have enough time to save money, book their rooms and get their passports.

How big is your guest list? Is that something that can be handled in a separate correspondence? (email, phone calls, etc)

You can't really control who saves what and how, and who books what room and when. So, by providing all the information in a timely manner (here, you've already done that with the STD and website), you've done all you can do. Sit back and relax.

im getting married sept 2014 and plan on sending out my invites in mid April. thats like almost 4 whole months in advance. Now im thinking maybe thats a little too soon?

I asked for help on this topic on the Etiquette board. Here's the timeline they gave me, with full disclosure about the need to book early due to the distance:

STDs: 1 year to 10 months out
Invitations: 8 weeks out
RSVP deadline: 4 weeks out

If you're worried about people getting the information, I would make sure to send out STDs with a link to a wedding website full of useful information ASAP. After a month or so I might call to follow up with any guests you fear are less tech-savy and offer to assist them with any bookings they'd like to make.
