Why not do it in a neighboring town/city so that people don't have to fork out major cash to go? It seems silly(to me) to spend upwards of 150-200 per couple to go do something you could probably do in a nearby town that would be just as good. This way you could all save a little cash. Last time that I checked, college students were always up to save a little bit of money, with it costing less the chances of more people going increases, thus the possibility of a bang up night with the whole house instead of a just the select few who are able to afford the travel and having to take the time off of work to go.
Just MHO.
