My son and his fiance both live out of state. The wedding will also be held out of state. Someone here would like to give a couple's "tool & gadget" tea/shower for them, so his friends and family here can get to meet the bride-to-be. Herein lies the problem. Their guest list for the wedding does not include many people from here--just immediate family. With the wedding out of state, would it be excusable in this case, to invite some people to the tea, but not to the wedding? We do not want to hurt any feelings, but the wedding includes a luncheon and the space/funds are limited. Not many of these would probably be coming, but my son does not want to gamble on "everyone" not being able to come. Your advice? Thanks.

The rules get stretched when the wedding is a "destination" other than their hometown. Generally, it is impolite to invite guests to a shower but not to the wedding but in the case of your son, the shower in his hometown would be acceptable.
