That's what I did. If it's a formal wedding, you're supposed to have a separate card, but you can do what you're suggesting if it's a less formal affair.
Our invitation said something like
Bride's parents
request the honour of your presence
....
at Church Name
Church Address
City, State
And afterward for a reception
Reception hall name
I think the only reason to do a reception card if if you DON'T want it on the main invite, or if you need to put lengthy directions.
yes, you can combine the two. We didn't ... not enough room to write what we wanted.
We used a reception card because we didn't want to clutter our main invite with all the extra info (time, location, address, etc).
It's up to you. The ceremony invite is often considered the most formal piece, but that doesn't mean you have to approach it that way.
I've seen it done both ways and I don't think it matters. I believe the purpose could be for those who are not inviting everyone to both. I am using reception cards, because I found a pocket invite I just love and it comes with it, so why not. Also I had a professional say that etiquite is moving away from all the formality or seperate everythings... like a tissue in between each card, which used to be a negative thing (large breath, look down apon you moment) to forget.

My ceremony is in a Church and will be followed by a reception in a banquet hall about 5 miles away. If there's room on the main invite, can I just save myself an insert and put reception info too?
