I got an email from RPRM sales exec including the package details and also information about booking the wedding if anyone is interested PM your email address and I can forward it to you!  It was very helpful seeing I couldn't find 2014 pricing on the web yet.

Thank you, JenniferM!  I made the labels myself...I bought the chapsticks at the Dollar Tree.

What type of labels did you use and do you know if many of your guests used the chapstick? This is something I would really love to put in our kit and they're budget friendly.

Hi all! I am really loving all these post. I am getting married at RPRM on Thanksgiving. I just started working with our planner and I am so confused. I feel like they are trying to Nickel and dime me. So here is the scoop. We have about 35 people. We wanted to do a semi private dinner/reception with a DJ. Our planner told me that if we wanted a DJ that we would have to book the private reception, pay $44 per person, $15 for open bar, and $1250 for the DJ. Is there anyway to have a semi private reception and then have the DJ? I saw that someone on here was able to get the DJ cheaper without the lights. Im trying to keep the cost down but also have a celebration Just a side note, we are booked for the not so free wedding, Thanks

Just started working with our planner for our thanksgiving wedding. Question, I was told tonight that if I wanted a DJ I would have to have a private reception. We were hoping to save $ and have a semi private with a DJ after. Anyone have any options or ideas I could do? I am so confused and stressing out on my poor fiancée I want to make this a fantastic celebration, but the $44 per person for a private reception is a little much when you are paying for the free wedding and all the extras. Thanks

Yes, my guests used the chapstick & loved the idea of it!

 

I used Avery #18863 - 2" x 4" Clear Shipping Labels.   

 

You are able to get 2 chapstick labels on 1 sticker.  You will have to cut these though.

 

I then purchased shrink wrap clear bands on ebay.  I got 100 for $6.00 with S&H.  I did not want the ink to smudge on the label.  Especially if using them on the beach or by the pool with wet/suntan lotion hands!!  

 

Here is the template I used.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my Planning thread...if interested.

We are getting married this Thanksgiving at RPRM, and plan to have a semi-private dinner. I am curious if anyone decorated the tables for dinner? We already have survival kits, koozies, and maracas that I am bringing on the plane for the wedding. I was not sure if I should decorate the tables or just leave them. Anyone have ideas?
