I feel you SHOULD send invitations to people you would like
to have at the wedding, regardless of if you think they
can manage to attend or not.  Not sending them an invitation
means you are making the decision for them (this also
applies for just sending an announcement).  After all,
they may think enough of you to WANT to spend the money
to attend your wedding, or maybe they were going to vacation
in the area anyway, etc, etc, etc.

While this may make planning for the wedding more difficult
(well, we send 200 invites, but only expect 150 to actually
show, but who knows?), the use of RSVP cards will help you here.

My ideas: (never actually tried)
	Invite:		People you would like to have there.  Close
			friends, relatives.  RSVP cards so you can
			plan properly.
	Announcement:	Send to people that YOU would like to announce
			your marriage to, but whom are not close
			enough friends that you would like them
			to share the experience with you.
