I got legally married last year in Vegas just my husband and I. I was 7 months pregnant and needed to get married for insurance purposes (going to town hall just isn't my style). I originally planned on keeping it a secret but just couldn't! I always had the intention of having a ceremony but now I'm struggling with how to word it on my invitation. Obviously it isn't the ACTUAL ceremony, but nobody was at the first one so I feel like this one will be more important. Do I call it a vow renewal? Or just act as if this is our normal wedding? I feel like covid changed the game as far as rules go, but I'm so clueless as to what to do!

Unless you are ashamed of something, there's no reason to keep it a secret. COVID has certainly changed a lot of people's plans, but it doesn't sound like that was the case for you, so I wouldn't mention that in your communications or invitation. It all comes down to what you want your celebration to include. If you will be saying vows again, then yes, it's a vow renewal. If you will be having a party then it's a wedding celebration.

My husband and I legally got married last October during a minimony and we are celebrating this October with our other family and friends who weren't able to attend based on COVID restrictions. Our invitation states something along the lines of "Please join ........ in a celebration of our marriage"

I love the "celebration of marriage" wording!!
To specifically reference the ceremony you can say something like "please join us as we recommit our vows and celebrate our marriage" or call it a unity ceremony!
