There are some people that I have known for years, but am not close to now, i.e. old work collegues. I want them to see the wedding-which will be on the internet-but will not be inviting them to the service. Is this rude?

I had a friend who got married in Vegas and it was shown on the Internet. We are friends, but I knew we weren't close enough friends to be invited to the wedding - especially one in Vegas. She only had 4 people at her wedding. She gave a group of us the web address, the login name and the password, a few weeks before the wedding so we could actually watch the wedding "live" if we wanted to. I thought it was great - a way for people who can't go, or couldn't be invited due to the size of the wedding, to be able to view the wedding, too.

No, not rude if it's clear that there will only be a small number of people invited to the wedding. If you're planning to have a lot of people at the service though, they might feel slighted that they only rated an online invite. They'll likely understand though, especially if you're getting married quite a distance away. You could give them some sort of actual invitation (being clear that they're being invited to view the wedding at this time and at this site, etc.), so that they get something special.

No it is not. They are still included and should feel special.
We are in the times of modern technology.
People enjoy feeling speicial show send out a wedding emiail informing those who will see the cereomony by the internet.
You can do a youtube upload especially created for those guest but the key is making them feel they are special ,you can invite only those guest you would like to view.
Best Wishes

The ONLY way that I would even consider this option is if you were to give the link to people that WERE invited that you know would not be able to come, but would be interested in seeing it anyways. For example, if great-aunt Gertrude is in a nursing home in Florida, and you're in Washington, and there's no way that she can make it, THEN, I might consider it okay.
If, however, your purpose is just to cut down on the number of people at the service, that could definately be considered rude.

It all depends on how you mention it to them (although most people would rather watch a wedding on the internet than actually have to attend it).

its not rude if you explain to them first...tell them that your really sorry for not inviting them and that you would of but your family as well as the grooms side is very large and this wedding is already costing a lot so you and your groom decided to keep it manly family and really close close friends, tell them if they want to they can watch it on the net.

While I don't particularly care for the idea, I think it would be more appropriate only if you are eloping or having an intimate destination wedding; otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.
