I like the destination wedding but you really should know your audience. Some people that you want to attend will not likely be able to afford it and others may not be able to get the time off. I have been to two and passed on one. The first one I attended was a blast and I would consider attending their anniversary if invited. The second one was a small group in a huge resort which was tough because you spent an hour each day trying to find the group.

Also, if someone can't make it I think the fault is yours and not theirs. You should not be able to give the person any grief if they can't go or can but choose not to. I was invited to my BIL's wedding two weeks after I graduated university, moved out of my parents home 750 km to the north and started my first real job. I had no money, no vacation time and would have had to drive 750 km to catch the plane or add in a $500 flight (they flew SunWing). Years later I was still getting a bit of grief whenever the wedding came up.
