Out of state invitations etiquette? Hi everyone! I'm brand spanking newly engaged and already feel paralyzed by my first decision! :( 

I live and work in Orlando, but recently moved from Ohio. All of my friends and family and most of my people on my invite list live far away and I want to give them time to save up, make plans etc. Should I be sending out invitations way early? Should I block off rooms in a local hotel? I have neither a date nor a venue, so I'm putting the cart before the horse but this detail is foremost in my mind for some reason.

Any other brides dealing with long distance guests? Long distance bridal party? How would that even work? Ahhhhh.....
