[MR] Event fees and family caps

[Arnold Pattee]

Many groups have guidelines for event fees laid out in their financial policies.
I would advise you to check with your group's exchequer and seneschal before
formulating your own event policies.

Usually, it's "2 adults + 2 children"  or "2 adults + 1 child" - depending upon
the event, their budgeting, etc.

Typically it's just applied to the event fee (It's hard to apply to the feast,
because just because a family of 10 shows up, it's hard to give them 6 free
feast spots, when each spot costs a set amount of supplies to feed).

So if an event was $10 site fee, $5 per child.   Then a family max of $25 or $30
might be set.  Allowing larger families to attend without breaking the bank.

I am autocratting my first event next month, a Baronial Birthday and
Investiture.  Someone asked my reservationist a question, which he forwarded to
me.  Having never done this before, I thought I'd bring it up here and see if
anyone has any advice.

Someone asked about a "family cap" on fees.  I know there is often such a thing,
and I've probably taken advantage of it before, but I haven't paid much
attention to it.  If you've autocratted an event and utilized a family cap,
please explain how you came up with the number, what all it applies to, etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
