to beat the crap out of the guy that double booked our wedding and reception at my fiancee's dream location? This news came to us only 6 months before our wedding and we already have our invitations printed out and dates set with our Dj, Flower person, Photographer, Singer, Cake people! Just thought I'd ask.....

The sad truth is, some venues do this, deliberately and on purpose. They use the excuse that brides and their mothers are fickle, and tend to book a location, and change their mind, and quote cancellation statistics. I think this is terrible! It isn't like the airlines, where you can get a seat on the next plane.
By all means, get to the boss of the dream place, and try to get some money out of him. But if you signed a contract, read it first, it probably lets him off the hook. I doubt you get your money back for the cake, the singer, etc, and the venue will tell you, all you have to do is notify those people of the change, but the invitations, yes! Take the bill of sale, and the invitation, when you go to confront the boss. And keep insisting that you need your money back for the invites! Did you pay money down on the venue? It had better be refunded!

Inappropriate, and you might spend you planned wedding day in jail.
Accidents happen, are you perfect. Six months is long enough to make other plans, as the invitations should go out no more than one month in advance, as far as the added expense, the one making the mistake should pay!!
You may take him to small claims court and WIN the amount of money that his error has cost you. Enjoy your wedding, but don't let it consume you.

No. Proper etiquette would be to push the guy (and the location) to make things right. Be polite, but firm, and keep asking for a supervisor until you get to the top of the food chain and they fix this.

You should more than beat him, you should call teh police. Don't actually beat him, but if he double booked that means he is a con-artist, and the authorities need to be contacted. Also review the laws, you may find some interesting amendments that may support your case.

It is proper etiquette to sue him and his company for the money you lost on invitations, etc.

Proper etiquette....no. Understandable....yes. You have to be polite and firm. Let them know that this needs to be fixed and that you will accept nothing less than what you had arranged with them.

violence is never the answer. I'd surely threaten him though. See waht you can get out of him. make him pay for all of the fees for the cancellation, and make him pay for everything you can.

No. It shows a lack of class and a lack of self restraint.
