Do you think professional DJs should charge $400 for a four hour reception? Well, maybe this flyer will shed light on pricing. I found this flyer in a bridal show book from 1992. Yes, 1992! Still think DJs in 2017 should charge the same price they did 25 years ago?

Congratulations Daniel and Samantha
This reception, featuring the colors of royal blue, hot pink
and green was so pretty! The tables had
floor-length mint colored satin tablecloths with greenery and bud vases of
flowers around the centerpieces. The
high/low centerpieces consisted of tall or short lanterns filled with lights. To match the wedding color scheme, the cake
had three white stacked tiers, each with a royal blue ribbon around the
bottom. Each tier had different patterns
of frosting, with the couples’ initials in a heart on the top tier. The For a
personal touch, the couple had a cake knife and server set engraved with their
names. The cake sat on a rustic-looking
wood stand, with the phrase, “Love is sweet” on the front. For other rustic décor, the card box was a
rustic wood trunk with Daniel and Samantha’s monogram on the front and the word
“cards” hanging on it. Instead of a
traditional guest book, there was a board with their names and
wedding date on it, which the guests signed.
To showcase pictures of themselves, there was a wood pallet with the
couple’s initials in metal on it and childhood pictures leaning against the
pallet. On the bar, there was a rustic
wood basket holding custom Koozies.
topper was a clear glass heart with their
last name initial in the center.
For a sweet treat for the guests, this couple had a
combination cheesecake/candy buffet.
Those cheesecakes went fast! For
an extra special touch, we projected a GOBO monogram of the couples’ names and
wedding date on the dance floor. I love
the way GOBOs look! To kick off the
dancing portion of the reception, there was a Grand March, which got everyone up
and on the dance floor. At one point in the evening, Samantha
changed out of her wedding dress into a cute, short. white, lace dress and
white sneakers. I loved the look! Comfortable in her new dress, Samantha danced
the night away, just like the guests.
This couple said they wanted a long reception with dancing until the
end, and they got it: the dance floor was never empty! At one point, someone put Samantha and Daniel
in chairs on the dance floor, and guests started dancing around them, making it
rain. Near the end of the reception,
someone held up a lit, metal sign that said, “love” and it was passed around
the dance floor. Too funny! This reception was a dance party!
After a great night of fun and dancing, the reception came
to a close with an upbeat last dance.
The newlyweds then ran through a line of sparklers and headed off to their
new life as a married couple.
Congratulations Daniel and Samantha!

Congratulations Robert and Amanda
This reception was held in a historic ballroom, which was
perfect for the rustic/vintage theme.
The tables had floor-length cloths with burlap and lace runners. There were two different styles of
centerpieces: one had flowers in a wooden vase which looked like a tree with
the couple’s initials carved into it. Amanda’s
mom used a wood burning tool to do the initials, and they looked awesome! The other centerpiece consisted of three
candles which looked like wood.
Amanda’s cake was perfect for the rustic décor as well. It had four stacked tiers, with the second
and fourth iced to look like wood. The
top and third tiers were in ivory frosting with natural icing lines. The cake sat on a wood cake stand and had two
characters from Dragon Ball Z making up the topper. Robert’s cake was in a Dragon Ball Z theme,
to match their cake toppers. His cake
had a Kame House surrounded by Dragon Ball Z characters, all on an island. How fun!
There was a candy buffet for the guests to enjoy, and they
used something I’ve never seen used to hold the candy: ice buckets that looked
like metal pails. They were perfect for
a vintage or rustic wedding! For a
personalized non-traditional guest book, the guests signed their names inside
leaves on a framed print of a tree. The
card ‘box’ consisted of a coral colored antique suitcase.
When the night came to an end, the happy couple drove off in
their decorated truck. Congratulations
Robert and Amanda!
