Yes - this is your first marriage ceremony.

If you think some people will have a problem with it, "Come to our wedding!" is an equally festive invitation, and no one can say you have done that before.

(Semantics - you have been married, and formalized it with the documents, but you have not gotten married in a wedding ceremony before.)

I don't see anything wrong with that - you are having a celebration and you want to let your guests know. Maybe put this wording in such a way as:

Save the Date
We look forward to having having you share in a celebration of our marriage

or something to that affect
