Inviting Guests to Only Livestream

My fiancé and I have always wanted a small wedding but we both have fairly large extended families. We chose a guest list of about 40-50 people and chose a small, nontraditional venue that we could afford based on that amount. We only invited immediate families and grandparents in addition to our friends, and our wedding is across the country from my fiancé's grandparents so they will likely not be able to make it, so we want to set up a live stream. However, we're now getting pressure from both of our families to extend the live stream to people who weren't invited to come in person.



1. What's the best way to live stream your wedding? We were planning to set up a laptop and/or camera in the front of the room to film the ceremony and use Zola's compatibility with Zoom to put the link on our wedding website.


2. Is there a good way to go about inviting these guests only to the live stream? I feel weird about it because they weren't invited to the wedding in person. If this were a result of donwsizing the wedding for covid I think it'd be more understandable, but it feels weird to me to send an invite saying "hey you didn't make the cut." However, we are getting married on the east coast and the potential virtual guests are mostly in the midwest or west coast so there's a good chnce they wouldn't have been able to come out for an in person wedding anyway.
