Reception location on invite?

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
I have noticed that people usually put the reception on a separate card, but I would like to cut down on cost and paper, so is it weird to put the ceremony and reception on the same invite if the ceremony is in a different location and not immediately following? Im not sure how to word it on the invite. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I would put it in smaller font at the very bottom of the invitation.  

    "Drinks, Dinner, & Dancing to Follow
    Name of Reception Venue
    123 Ballroom Lane
    Weddingtown, USA

    If there's any more information that needs to be included (like directions, or meal choices), you really need to include a separate enclosure.

    If you put it on the main invitation, keep it as brief as possible.  Usually in the bottom left or right corner, in smaller font than everything else.

    Reception, five o'clock (or Dinner and dancing, five o'clock)
    Venue name
    Address

    If it's not immediately following the ceremony, then you need to include the time instead of just saying "reception to follow"...because it's not really to follow, there is a gap.

    If they're at different locations and it's not immediately following, your invite will need to be the size of a movie poster to fit it all in and not be uber crowded.  I would reconsider eliminating the reception insert.

    Thank you guys for the input! I'm clueless as to how this all works, because everyone will be traveling from out of state and I also want to include travel info, etc. I guess one more piece of paper isn't going to hurt, but thanks!

    We are doing a panel invite that is double sided - formal invitation on the front, with the reception info & directions on the back. It doesn't look as tacky or informal as you'd think.
