When my wife and I got married, we ran into a similar situation. We decided that we would only invite people that we cared about and would absolutely want to attend our wedding.
If you're afraid of offending some people, I suggest you set some ground rules for who will be invited to the wedding... ie, imediate family, or imediate family plus best man and maid of honor. Then, let everyone else know that you and your fiance have decided to have a small, intimate wedding. Send out announcements to everyone else, and potentially invite them to a home-hosted reception when you return from your honeymoon.
Cogratulations, and best wishes!

Only send out Annoucements after the wedding has take place. Let the announcement have a picture of the wedding and the date. It can say Mr and Mrs. So and So would like to announce their union in matrimony. The ceremony took place at such and such date in Jamaica. If people ask why they werent invited, just let them know that it was a decision that you are your partner came to. Dont let anyone try and make you feel bad for not wanting to invite anyone. YOUR wedding day is YOUR day and you have a right to get married anyway that YOU want.

Send invitations to those whom you want to attend the wedding ceremony and have wedding announcements made to send to everyone whom you would like to know about your wedding. The announcement can mention that you are being wed abroad, so that people understand. Then, upon your homecoming a simple reception for those who were unable to come can be arranged. This way, you enjoy the perks of a destination wedding AND you still get to party with friends.

If you invite everyone then no one will be offended. Most likely these people you don't want to invite will not come. It's far and expensive. If you are steadfast is not inviting everyone an announcement is fine.
In my honest opinion, I think announcements are just a solicitation for gifts. And a crappy one at that. If the people aren't worth the price of an invitation and postage, then why would you care if they know or not?

i'd under no circumstances evaluate paying a lot extra merely so as that the couple can get some extra perks, and it really is unbelievably impolite of them to insist upon it to you! that is helpful that they have got given you the alternative of an all-inclusive one-end reserving should you do not want the headache of looking it wondering about themselves, yet once you've somewhat got here across a much better deal i somewhat don;t see why they'd attempt to persude you in the different case. It doesn;t remember in the adventure that they get a huge money saving that they have got not advised you about - it became their decision to have a vacation spot wedding ceremony so distant with such extreme priced flights, and as a way to't budget contained in the saving they'd get from scamming their households! Do what matches you brilliant and do not sense accountable about it. after all, no longer a great number of persons would spend a lot money to flow to a wedding ceremony, so that they ought to easily be grateful that their nuclear relations are making the attempt.

Only invite the people that you want there. Otherwise, they may end up showing up. For everyone else, use announcements. Perhaps include a photo from the wedding in the announcements for a personal touch. : )

Your going to Jamaica, not everyone can afford to go. You should send out your invites to only the people you would like to join you there, and maybe have a reception for all the others when you get home.

Invitations go to the people that you would like to come. Announcements go to the people that you don't want to invite or that you are certain they won't come and or won't want to come. Though if they don't want to come and the reason isn't related to work or life, they probably don't deserve an announcement period.

Send simple invitations to those closest to you that you want to attend, and then send those not invited wedding announcements.
Nothing wrong with that. Congrats!!
