We have started down the IEM slippery slope here in the RV park we inhabit for the winter. Our process is, jam a bunch starting in October-ish, then put together a program/dance for the patrons in the spring, usually March around St. Patrick's Day.
The one last March was a bit of a train wreck. We had a brand new, digital, mixing board, which no one was intimately familiar with. We had 2 "main" speakers by the stage, plus a couple of lusty floor monitors.
That would work in most situations. But in ours, we not only had musicians on the stage, it wasn't big enough so we had some set up in chairs in front of the stage (it's only about 9" high). When you have a band of "old people" (park rules, "55 Plus"), some who hear well, some not so well, some with hearing aids, you can't please everybody using a couple of floor monitors, no matter how you try to place them.
Hence, we're now trying out IEMs. Not everyone can (or possibly don't want to) purchase them. Those of us that want them are trying to get them to work, and hopefully omit the floor monitors. The compromise is, we have a couple of small "personal" monitors that we can hopefully place where those without IEMs can get a decent sound.
As I said, we're still in the experimental stage. We've even considered using a bluetooth monitor signal to those with hearing aids that have that capability. I'll report back on this in the spring when we try it all out, and try to keep the wheels on the track! lol LLOYD S

How many people play in this shindig of yours? One thing to remember is that once you stick those IEMs in you won't even hear the floor wedges. Also remember that to use IEMs, you need a lot of aux busses to send the mix to separate transmitters so everybody gets only what they want. I bought a lower end Galaxy Audio transmitter/receiver rig (it works well to about 12-15 feet - then I get dropouts) and spent about $160 on having form fitting earpieces made by WAVS Audio. They fit so well I literally couldn't hear an elephant (or maybe it was a really fat girl) charging. They are so good I listen through them at home sometimes! Standard ear buds that don't really seal will work in that kinda sorta okay way and in your application they'd do fine for you. I bought my WAVS when I was still actually playing and earning money. And you can order them just by doing scans of your ears with a phone and sending the pictures. No fittings required. They will give you one redo if they mess them up but mine fit perfectly on the first try.
I have no idea where you are. Do you snowbird in Florida or the Southwest? Because if you are in Florida, maybe you can stay there and time your departure to attend Herbstock the last weekend in April. It's held about an hour east of Raleigh NC.

Eddie:
We're in San Tan Valley in Arizona. The entire "band" is about a dozen musicians/singers but we're not all on stage at once. We work up "sets" and those involved in one, may not be in another. We're hoping to do away with the floor wedges. We don't get serious enough about it for people to spend a lot of money, especially on custom IEMs, and the fact we haven't really perfected a process for them.
The mixing board we're using is a Behringer X32, with enough "outs" so everyone can get a custom "monitor mix". It's easy enough for us to get a "hard wired" signal to the IEMs, or, we've had some luck in using just a simple "wireless GUITAR", receiver and transmitter duo to get a signal from the board to a (say) Behringer belt pack, then a decent (but not expensive) set of earphones.
We keep experimenting and I'm fairly certain we'll end up with something more usable than last time. I'll keep you posted. LLOYD S
