Should I invite only the people I know will show up for destination wedding?
Would it be rude of me to only invite the people I know will show up for a destination wedding, like close friends and family, or should I send out invitations to everyone I would invite for a local wedding? I ask because we only wanted a limited amount of people at the ceremony/mini reception at our destination location. We are having a large reception outdoors when we return, though. I just don't want to see any hurt feelings from people I know can't go, who would expect an invite anyway.
Thanks!

You should invite any guests you want to attend. Do not send invitations to any guests just to save their feelings since, if you do this, you'll have to host them if they surprise you and agree to attend.
The best thing to do is to invite the number of guests you can afford to host. You'll send out he reception invitations which should appease the rest of the guests, letting them know they are invited to the reception back home.If there are certain family members or friends you're concerned about, you an call and let them know what's happening.
