I have been wracking my brain trying to think of a simple but polite way of saying we are having an intimate ceremony on our invitations.
We are getting married in a nature preserve and with all practicality of get location and also our personal preference, we only want our immediate family present.

I want something along the lines of how we will be married in a private ceremony and to please join us in celebration afterwards, but how is an eloquent way of saying so?

You need 2 invites. One for your family for the ceremony with reception to follow. One for the rest with no ceremony info, just reception. Keep in mind that you have to be very careful to make this not tiering, which is incredibly rude. If it is literally just your immediate family for the ceremony, people will most likely understand.

The easiest way is to go with two invitations.
If it is truly an intimate ceremony with just family, everyone else will understand. I would suggest looking online for wording fo the reception only invite so you don't seem rude and also on the ceremony/reception invite make sure you state that it is small and limited number being invited so your aunt sue doesn't go and brag to your friend's mom who is just invited to the reception. Just have something on the invite to respect your wishes of a private ceremony.

What everyone else said.

For phrasing, you could use Please join Kylie and FH as they celebrate their marriage
