If you are not that close with them then I don't think they would be offended if you don't invite them, especially since you're only worked with them for 6 months. I know I wouldn't expect to get an invite in that situation.
If your coworkers know that the wedding is not local, they probably won't expect to be invited. But on the other hand, I have never received an invite and felt like it was a request for a gift except when it was accompanied by the registry card and/or a website link with blatant demands for cash gifts so I don't think you need to worry about your coworkers feeling that way.
I am in the same situation. We live in Chicago, but the wedding is in PA. I invited two co-workers. I doubt they come, but I asked around to other people at work that have recently gotten married, and the consensus was to invite my boss and our assistant. If there is someone at your job that you feel you could ask to see what others have done, I think that would help.
My coworkers are all in PA, and the wedding is in Kentucky. I am not sending invitations. I would expect they will give me a group gift, as we normally do for these things, and if I were in the office we would have a potluck and cake. Since I telecommute, that probably won't happen.
I'm not inviting coworkers, and it didn't really cross my mind. I did have a similar question with inviting friends from PA --- I didn't want to exclude them, but I didn't want them to think I was itching for a gift! In the end, I invited 3 of my closest friends and left it at that.

I'm not sure what to do about inviting my 20ish coworkers.. or not.. to my wedding. I can reasonably expect none to come because they are all in CA and the wedding is in PA - not exactly a vacation destination and I have worked there less than 6 months, so while we get along great, we are not all that close - another reason why they probably wouldn't all abandon the office to come. I don't want them to feel uninvited or less of a friend by not inviting them, but given that I pretty much know they wouldn't come because of the distance ( I have talked to one closer coworker about this and she agrees with this assumption) I really dont want to send an invite and end up making some folks feel like they have to get me a gift to make up for not coming.
So what do you think I should do?
