How to word an email to colleagues?

So as you might remember, we have moved our wedding up to the lake district which means its about 250 miles away from where people live.

All the closest family and friends are coming up to stay for the weekend.

I am quite close to my work colleagues and they are all very excited for me, and were originally looking forward to coming up to the evening do when we were having it locally.

I assumed I wouldnt worry too much about colleagues now its moved, but a few of them have family and friends in the lake district and have said that they would be happy to pop in just for the evening as they can make a weekend out of it.

I was thinking of sending an email round to everyone just to say that they are all more than welcome, and that I didnt expect people would want to travel all that way, but if they happen to be around there that they are more than welcome to come.

I am just finding it hard to word - can you help? Or do you think its a silly idea?

If it was me then i would invite them properly (via invites) and when you give it them just that you understand its REALLY far away but you wanted them to know they would be invited anyway and then you will get proper RSVP's etc...if you do a casual email they might not think they have to let you know if they are coming! x

I dont really want to go down the invite route.

its a very casual wedding and it wouldnt matter if the odd extra person turned up for the evening, so wouldnt need to know before hand.

Haven't you already sent out the invitations, and if so, wouldn't they understand they're still welcome to attend? Or were your invitations for the prior venue?

Either way, I think you could just word it simply as: "Dear Friends: as you may know, we have had to move our wedding from X to Y. We are excited at the prospect of you celebrating with us at our evening reception, but understand if the distance now makes your journey impossible. However, if you're circumstances allow you to attend, we would be thrilled for you to join us."
