Drink: Open bar (beer, wine, cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic beverages) ***We have planned for a comfortable budget so that everyone should be able to enjoy plenty of food AND drink, however, we will have a set final budget predetermined by our number of RSVPs. La Peg charges for beverages on a consumption basis, so if we reach our total budget before 10pm, the bar will convert to a cash bar. We don't expect this to be an issue. Please note, if we fall under our total budget, any remaining funds will be put towards our class gift.

Price: $100 per guest (Includes food, open bar (see details above), tax, and gratuity.)

RSVP: by Monday, February 12. We ask that you please confirm attendance by sending payment via Paypal to Megan Nunemacher. If you'd like to arrange a different means of payment (Venmo, check, etc.) you may contact Megan directly at her email address.
