Strategy for planning family award trip to Paris next summer

Cruise booked and not flexible (window between end of school and sail date). Return is flexible. I am concerned about outbound availability and cost as I have enough miles right now for one and a half saver tickets in business. I will need three and am prepared to buy (hopefully on sale).

Should I book three one ways and then buy one ways one the return (probably not best value) or wait until I have more miles or do I use miles for one and wait hopefully for sale to buy other two? It is possible I will wind up with enough miles for another award but I don't know when that might be and then it becomes difficult to get the same flights.
