| The bar mitzvah will be attended by a very small group of family. The party will be extended to everyone else. What wording do I use to announce the “completed” bar mitzvah and that this is a celebration only? Not using an event planner, not sure where to look… |

This is just a guess, but what about something like “Please join us for a reception in honor of the Bar Mitzvah of….” If I received that invitation, I would understand that the wedding, bar mitzvah, baptism, etc had already taken place. I am not Jewish so forgive me if the wording isn’t quite right! Someone else may have a better idea. |

This is for a wedding, but I'd do something similar. Then you put a second card in with details for the ceremony for those invited. That's similar to how we did our wedding.
With great love and joy Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Everett Stanford kindly invite you to a reception celebrating the marriage of their children Christine Lynn and Kevin Paul on Saturday, August 11, 2018 |

Something like this, but don't describe yourself as "kindly." Just invite them to a "reception celebrating the bar mitzvah of [X]." |

My kid was just invited to one of these (the actually Bar Mitzvah was in the spring.)
Here was the wording: IT'S PARTY TIME! Please join us for dinner and dancing as we celebrate XXXX's bar mitzvah. Dressy casual, sneakers are welcome. (Please be prepared to wear a mask when not eating or drinking.) |
