I think you just need to understand and not resent anyone who chooses not to go for whatever reason. If close family says I can’t give up the money/vacation time that shouldn’t create years of resentment in you.
The other thing is if parts will be outdoors have a backup for bad weather
Understand what parts of the ceremony/reception will be private and what is in public areas like beaches. If an old guy in a Speedo in the ocean right behind where your ceremony is happening will be an issue discuss that with the resort.
Establish early what expectations of togetherness with your guests are. If you want just the ceremony together and then being off alone make sure that’s clear. Alternatively if you expect everyone to be hanging out with you the whole time make that clear.
The big thing is that everyone’s expectations of what a destination wedding is are different so making sure it’s understood amoung the guests is important.
