invitation problem

Hello. My partner and I are just about to book a wedding trip. I have run into an issue regarding invitations, though. Our travel agent says that from the day we book to the day the deposits for the trip have to be in from everybody will be 2 months! That is all! She recommended we use an email to let everyone know our travel arrangements, but I always thought that was tacky.
I have found great invitations on Etsy a while back and have planned to use them. The person who makes them says it's going to take 3 weeks for her to make them and and then mail them to me. Add to that the time it would take me to mail them out to everybody and I'm afraid we will be over the deadline.

So... what should I do?

I guess I will have to send out email initially, but should I still send out invitations even if that will be slighltly after the fact? I could make my own and send them, but I am not crafty and they will likely look terrible if I do them.
Anyone else have to rush their destination invitations like this? Have any ideas?

    When I started planning my cruise wedding and had a for sure date I emailed everyone on my guest list because if people wanted to go on the cruise people would have to start saving and putting down deposits.

    A few months later I sent out Save The Dates

    And just this Monday I sent my invites out.

    I emailed everyone as soon as we figured out plans. We then sent out STD's shortly after with an info packet. Invitations came later. We were under the philosophy "better to have too much info then not enough!".

    I think you should consider sending out via email. You could use Punchbowl or a similar site... just so they people have the information sooner rather than later, and they are ready to make a decision when they get your invitation.

    Thanks ladies for the great advice!
    I think I will email the travel information as soon as I get it and mail the invitations when they will be completed.

    I started with word of mouth to everyone, and then got my STDs sent out as soon as I could with my wedding website on them. My wedding website was really indepth with all the information about the resort, booking, timings, etc
