Black Tie Wording...

I have written " Black Tie Reception to Follow" is that etiquette safe? If not, How should I say that my wedding is Black Tie?

Are you having a full-on black tie reception?  White glove service, etc.? 

Black tie should be noted on the reception insert only, not on the actual invitation.  From Crane's: 

We are having a formal reception. Where do the words "Black tie" appear?

The words, "Black tie" do not properly appear on wedding invitations or reception cards. The time of day and the location determine the dress code. (After six o'clock in the evening is formal.)

Although some people are familiar with this point of etiquette, most are not. Therefore, you may wish to include "Black tie" on your reception cards to ensure that all of your guests know how to dress.

When using "Black tie," the B is uppercase and the t is lowercase. "Black tie" generally appears in the lower right-hand corner of the reception card. It does not appear on the invitation to the ceremony since it is the reception, not the ceremony, that is formal. When no reception card is used, "Black tie" appears in the lower right-hand corner of the invitation. If you do not like corner lines on invitations, you may include a reception card to indicate the type of dress.

Your best bet is also going for a plain white or cream invitation with letterpress printing.
