Small ceremony/bigger reception

We are only inviting 20 of our close friends and family to the ceremony portion, but everyone else is invited to the reception after. Should I do separate invitations for those who are attending both? For the reception invitations, I was planning on saying something like "join us in celebrating our marriage." Maybe I could order 20 separate invites that say join us for our wedding, reception to follow? Or maybe just a verbal would suffice? Anyone else have a similar situation?

I would just use two different invitations and also let people know in passing that the ceremony will be small.

I agree with the previous posters. Separate invitations.

I'd use two different ones. It keeps the information and intentions clear. That way there isn't any way for spreading it through word of mouth to go wrong (i.e. people forget, get confused, so and so didn't tell so and so, etc.).

I agree with everyone else to do two separate invites!
"Amber and (your FH's name) invite you to join our celebration of marriage". If both parents are contributing to the reception too you could put together with their families before the names.
I would also write on there "Reception to be held at" and the name of your venue so people see the word reception flat out.
