The comments Silver made about having to think of your guests definitely resonates.
Also...yeah...you need a full year notice if you're asking people to fly in my opinion.

Good question. Personally, I would
love it if one of my buddies got married in NZ and invited me. It would be one of the few ways I could realistically convince my wife to go.
But then again, I have no small children anymore, been married nearly 10 years, am a self-employed Professional, for my wife and I the only real constraint would be timing.
Book it in June-Dec...no problem. Book it Jan-Jun though and I'm in tough, book it Feb-May and its no goddamned way, but thats just the nature of my business and most people would understand that.
I think thats the core of it though, understanding.
When did it come to the point where we always have to please everyone all the time?
If a buddy of mine was getting married in NZ I'd be ecstatic, that would be cool! If he said its in March (ergo I cant possibly go) to better serve 95% of the rest of the guests I'd be disappointed, but thems the breaks. Sometimes life throws you curveballs. Its not personal, its life.
