Tipping HELP

What are you tipping the limo driver?
the florist?

WHO tips hair and make-up? Me alone or
does each girl tip themselves

whoever pays ussually tips.
Mymom wants to pay, buthave the girlstip..notsure how to work that.

This is just a guess, but I just have 1 limo driver, it cost about $400, so I'd tip 50?Is that normal-ish?

Florist I ahve noidea. igues sit depens,ifitsjsutadelivery person,$20?

If theflorsit iscomign&settignthingsupf or you,maybe $75?

My church florist is setting that up for us, but its not a lot. I will give Fh$ to tip him, but I don't know if he will still bethere when he gets there.

Each girls person should handle their own tip. Unless you're feeling very generous and want to tip for everybody!!

The tip is included in our limos so we are tipping above that (if they are great) maybe $50 each. I remember I was planning to tip $100 and everyone on here told me it was too much.

The florist delivery person should probably get around $25 or so I imagine.

Re: October Girls Update

I am 10 days away

FI still has not gotten groomsman gifts. I still need a pocketbook, and we are still doing placecards and the seating chart. I can't believe it is so close!

Re: October Girls Update

ok this isn't really wedding related, but i am excited, and i also need a kick to start doing the wedding stuff i need to do.

...i have done nothing wedding related except take dance lessons since i have gotten the house.

the good news is that in the house everything is painted and the wood floors are getting done today. then it will be moving all our stuff in. the shower is being installed in the bathroom downstairs, but i can't do anything with that.

i still need to

tie bow/tags on favors
do programs
seating
placecards

meet with DJ
final fitting
final meeting with florist

suprisingly i am not stressed out yet...

we also aren't going to meet our minimum which kind of stinks, but i'll get over it. my fi invited some people from work and so far one couple is coming so that is a good think. i hope that they all will. we shall see...

Re: October Girls Update

I keep forgetting to make a list and I keep forgetting things. But I was sort of productive, got the stuff for the basets in the bathroom, got a swatch from the bridesmaid dresses to give to my florist to match and work with the flowers. Ran out of thank you cards for the shower, they should have been out by now. Had my bachelorette SPA day on Saturday. I wish I could do that every weekend. Then we just went to dinner and I was wiped out from the massage.

My very good friend and former roomate made my flower girl dresses. These are my nieces modeling their dresses. They didnt' want to take them off. I'm so happy the way they turned out. I got fabric that matched my dress from Paron Fabrics in the city. Since we had extra she made these little overthings to keep them warm. So cute.

Those are adorable FG and the dresses are amazing. I can't believe someone made those.

Re: October Girls Update

I am doing well I guess.... I have two of my BM here now. So it makes it a little hard to sit and think of what else I have to do. I have to go pick up their dresses from being steamed. Going to pay final balance on flowers and limo.

I think I have everything else finished.

And I can't wait for Wednesday night, my brother, mom, dad, 2 aunts, 1 uncle and my grandmother come in. I can't wait to see how they react towards New York....Will they approve of me living here

Of course they'll approve. You have to let us know how it goes
