Yes, I think it is a polite gesture to send them an invitation anyway. In a way, you are saying to them that they are important people in your life, and that you would love it if they can share your special day. Whether they accept or not is up to them, but you should still formally invite them. If you don't send them an invite, they might actually get upset or hurt.

Yes. You won't really know whether or not they can make it until they RSVP. If they can't at least you, and they, will always know that they were at least invited.
The other reason to go ahead and send them the invitation has to do with etiquette. You'll be happy to learn that even when people are unable to attend a wedding, they should still send you a wedding gift. So, by sending invitations to those that you "know" can't attend, you're increasing the gifts you'll get for no added cost (not that it's all about gifts, but that's an added bonus).

Yes you should. That's proper etiquette. It's also the safer course of action because you'll never know, plans may change and their earlier priorities may be cancelled. I'm sure you would not want to miss them on your wedding by a simple mistake of not sending them an invitation when you thought they can't come.

Yes, if any of the following is true:
1) That person is a close / important to you or your family and under normal circumstances you must have invited him/her. This is to keep personal / social relationship well.
2) If he/she can come, you would definitely want him/her to attend your wedding. You'd never know if at the last minute circumstances may change that allowed him/her to come.
3) If your need is more than to invite; for example: to inform him/her of your wedding.

I believe your best bet is to honestly talk to both of them and let them know the dilemma that you're in. I am sure that they will understand. Somebody else said it too... you could always say that you are unable to travel or that you are part of the other wedding, and make sure that you send the gift and/or visit within a few days.
You know your friends better than any of us, but if they are friends, they will understand. I know I would! Especially if I lost touch with you, I would totally understand, but I would be especially touched and loved if you still visited within a few days of the wedding... just a thought.

Yes, it's the thoughts that count.
There are several people on our invite list that we know won't be able to attend, however, they are still family/friends and we will still offer the invite.

Yes, by all means!!! If you don't, their feelings will be hurt as though you didn't think about them at all. Besides, they would probably still send a gift, via mail, even though they are not able to appear in the flesh.

yeah, its the respectful thing to do. You never know, their plans might change and they might be able to make it. Plus if you dont send an invitation they might think you never intended on inviting them in the first place.

Yes....because they would still be invited. It would be that there circumstances would prevent them from coming. Someone not receiving an invitation means that they were not invited.
