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?

Here's an example I found on the last link above (revise it accordingly):
Jane and Joe invite you to join us at a reception celebrating our recent marriage. Please come get down with us at 7pm on Saturday, the 10th of October at the Bla bla bla Venue in Seattle, WA.
very common. lots of folks do private wedding ceremonies and then have a big reception celebration later.
what your invitation says will depend upon who is paying for amd hosting your celebration.
