Invitation wording-reception only

My parents are inviting many of their neighbors & friends to our outdoor wedding. But, like usual, local weddings, they want the majority to show up for the reception only and keep the ceremony to close family. Plus, there's only room for 80 at the ceremony, so it needs to stay small.
How do I word the invitations properly to say, 'come celebrate with us at the reception' while including an insert to the select few to 'come to the ceremony'?
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

    we are having the same issue as my parents are inviting their whole neighborhood as well. here's what we did in a shortened version :)

    Bride and Groom

    together with their families invite you to celebrate love, friendship and the beginning of their marriage on (date). Please join us for an open house reception at (insert place and directions) from (time) in the evening. 

    We added RSVP info at the bottom but this is the main body of our invite.

    our ceremony insert states..

    bride and groom, will be exchanging vows at  (place) at (time). We would love for you to join us for this very memorable moment in our lives....

    hope this helps!

    Ours said:

    Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
    request the pleasure of your company
    at the celebration of the marriage of
    their daugher
    jane doe
    to
    Jack Hill
    son of Mr. and Mrs. Hill
    on...

    And then our ceremony insert said:

    You are invited to attend the wedding ceremony
    of Jane and Jack
    on....

    We had a separate RSVP insert as well.
