How do you feel about having an engagement party with people that really aren’t on the wedding list?

Ok I need help. I do not want people to have hurt feelings but honestly I do not want to invite everyone to the wedding. It’s very expensive.
I won’t beat a dead horse but We are having a 150 person wedding including us and the bridal party. Venue $13k Bar $5k catering $12k decor $10k photo $3k etc....
So we are making our guest list more intimate, minimal kids it’ll be like a date night. Some people just cannot be included in that count on the big day but we would want to include friends who can somewhat be apart of the celebration.
We are having two engagement parties. One dinner in my FH home state. And The engagement party where we live including coworkers and friends that may not be on the final count guest list.
What do you think?

Exactly. All about knowing YOUR ppl. It’s a lot of etiquette and traditions that are no longer exercised. I didn’t think it was a bad idea to want to celebrate with ALL friends. Realistically everyone WE want to invite it is not practical. Thanks for your comment Naikesha.

A mistress? Did you just refer to a mistress?? Wow. Your attitude as a host is rather gross. If you don't want to treat your guests well, don't invite any.
Not inviting kids is not at all the same thing as not inviting a significant other. Not even close. Once again, a significant other is NOT a plus one. You're using the term plus one incorrectly.
