How to word a reception only invitation?

My fiance and I are getting married in Puerto Rico in October. It is going to be just us... no friends or family. When we come home we want to have a big reception with dinner, dancing, and open bar. It will be formal as well as he will be wearing his suit and I will be in my dress. Is this common? How would I word the invitations? Thank you for your opinion.How to word a reception only invitation?
