Invitation question - Ceremony & Reception at different locations

I am trying to decide how I should handle my invitations. I'm trying to save money so I have decided to do the RSVP's on the wedding website, e-mail or phone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to handle the locations. I know traditionally the ceremony information is all on the main invite. Would it be tacky to try to include the reception info on there too or should I just include a separate card with the information for the reception?

Here's a little info about my wedding if that helps. The ceremony will be at a Rose Garden in a park. The reception is at a hotel that is like 5 minutes away. I'm trying to keep it somewhat informal even though the reception is at a hotel. I just can't decide which way to go with the invites. I need to decide before I go and try to buy some so I know what I need. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Its acceptable to have them on the same card. Just make sure that people know which is the ceremony and which is the reception.

My first choice of invitations were having both information on the same card..but then I fell inlove with a new style of inviations that have them separate..I think either way is fine.

Here are a few example wordings, but I like to browse albums for some of my favorites:

Thanks Jessica. I plan on printing my own. I will probably only have to do about 100. So how many ink cartridges did you go through? LOL.

I am printing my ceremony site on one side of my insert card and my rehersal directions on the back of the same card. My ceremony is at a separate location than my reception as well.

I would recommend placing your reception information on a separate card or insert. It can be the size of a business card.

The main thing I'm worried about is it looking too "squeezed" in. I guess if I used a small card that wouldn't really add to the weight very much. Since I'm not doing RSVP cards and return envelopes it wouldn't hurt to add a separate card for the reception. Boy I hate when I flip flop on things. LOL. I have so much trouble making up my mind on this little stuff.
