I need invitation help, please

I am trying to type up the different things I need in my invitation but I am having trouble. I wil have an actual invitation, and separate cards for the reception, RSVP, accomodations and directions. I get more confused everytime I look at them.

1. Do I put the street address of the church and reception hall on these or is it just supposed to be the city and state? Do I just list the addresses in the directions?
2. How far do I need to go with directions? Can I assume everyone can make it onto Long Island and just do from the LIE on or do I need more thorough directions?
3. Do I put directions to the hotel also?

Hmm...it seems like all my questions are about directions. But I am also wondering how to word the accomodations, reception and RSVP cards. Is there a website I can look at for this?

THANK YOU!!
