After party invitation wording help...

So since we couldn't invite all of our friends to the wedding, we're having an after party at a night club close to the venue...I'm trying to put a wording that would let them know that even though they didn't get invited they're still really special to us this is what I go so far...

We feel so bad that a lot of our friends couldn't be invited to our wedding. We only had a limited amount of guest we could invite and some where our guest list ended up exceeding what we had planned. We hope you don't feel offended or that we care for you any less. We want to share and celebrate our day with all of our friends and family and people that care for us. This is why right after the wedding we're having an after party. This way we can spend all celebrate together. We love all of you and hope you can come and party with us.

What you girls think?

Question: Are you going to pay for their admission or drinks?
Will you have a room off to the side for the after party?
I think a formal written invite like this should only be used if you are going to be paying for them. If it is just your college buddies, you could just spread the word via text, facebook, email???

"We are so excited to be married. We plan to continue the celebration at "club" If anyone wishes to party tonight, we would love it if you would come meet us and celebrate."

I think the line "We hope you don't feel offended or that we care for you any less." actually brings too much attention to the fact that they were not invited and almost does the opposite effect than what you are intending.

I agree that formal invites would mean you are paying, unless you somehow specify.

Perhaps instead of apologizing so much, perhaps use something like this:

"Even though our wedding was small, we want to celebrate our marriage with all the important people in our lives. Please join us at (club) at (xx:xx) time and let's party the night away!"
