Honestly, I would still send the traditional invites, and maybe send an email acknowledging the date has passed. Even though it's obvious that they're B-listers because of the late invite, I think inviting them via email is adding insult to injury! Have you considered just saving yourself a couple hundred by not inviting them??
Good question! I think it's good etiquette to still give them the actual invitation. What I would do is first approach each person individualy in person and tell him/her you would love if they could attend your wedding, it's on X date. If they say yes or maybe, then ask for their address to send the invitation. At that point, tell them they will be getting the formal invitation shortly, but not to be alarmed by teh RSVP date. Tell them you obviously had limited space and had to extend the invites first to extended family and close friends, but you are so happy you are able to invite a few close/special coworkers.
I definitely wouldn't send the invitation in an email, especially if it was a company email address. If you're sending it to their personal email addresses, its a little bit better... Can you print up a different RSVP card for them?
Why not just hand deliver the invitations since they are your co-workers and explain to them that you has some extra spaces and would like them to attend? I don't think they will mind the fact that the RSVP date has passed. I think they will know that they were on the B-List and won't be offended by the late invite.
PS - I would never ever be offended by being b-listed by a coworker. I think as long as you don't make it obvious to the entire office who's invited and not invited you're fine. For example, a coworker of mine recently got married and he never mentioned who was on his guest list. I found out close to his wedding day that our bosses were invited, but only because they had to leave early the day of his wedding so we were talking about schedules. No one broadcasted their invitation and he did a good job of keeping it on the DL.
Is it possible to hide the line about the rsvp date? Can you cut it off the invitation, or put a ribbon or something over it to cover it up?
Thanks all, helps me decide what makes the most sense. I'm still debating in general so part of the reason I asked was to see if there's a feasible way to do it.
The line w/ date is towards the top of the invite -- I could possibly cross it off in pen (or just note in conversation that we had an early date b/c of the number of OOT guests).
Note: I work remotely (though about 1/3 of our department is in my area), so I couldn't really hand them in person, but I can get mailing addresses easily. But may call folks first.

Would it be rude to send an email invite to some coworkers? My wedding is in a month and we unexpectedly have some additional space (it's only a wedding of about 120).
Our invitations say respond by (date that has passed).
