Tip for Church Folks

I didn't take it personally - again, just an honest question/clarification.

: )

Not to be nosy, but can i ask ball park how much you tipped the players? I always tip 20% of my dinner tap (pretax) when I go out. But here - well, I can't add a percentage to anything (how do you put a price on the fact that the organist is playing the music to the most important day of your life?) You can't....so I don't know. Is $20 an insult or is $50 too much????

I did not know how uch was appropriate either so all I can tell you is what I did.

Acolytes(sp?) $25 each, I had 2 Deacon $50 Pastor $100 Alter Guild $35 Sexton $25.00 the organist would have received $50 had she done the job with any interest

Sharon - A Little Unfair

My only comment to that is: A Manicure costs $6.00, a pedicure, $15.00. A $1000 in food is a slightly higher. Having an extra $25.00 vs. $1,000 is a big difference and some girls don't have it. I don't mean to disagree with anyone's opinions and I DO FEEL some on this board are going a little over-board, but I don't want brides to feel they are obligated or feel less of a tipper because they cannot afford it. I personally do get manicures and pedicures, and I've saved for my tips as well, but some just can't do it all especially if they are paying for the whole wedding themselves.

Also, there are people on here stating that they can pick at cocktail foods, etc. That's fine with me as well, but to expect a sit down dinner at the same price is a little balsy. My Maitre' De will not be eating, my DJ will probably eat behind his booth, my waiters and waitresses will not sit down to eat. At my sister's wedding the photographer and videographer grabbed their plates and hung out in the corner and ate at cocktail hour. NO problems, no questions, no argument, etc.
