Im just a tad bit early posting on this board, but please forgive me! I have a question re: tipping.
What did you give each vendor? I am totally clueless on this! I am making my tip envelopes tonight & I just want to avoid giving too much/too little to each vendor.
Matre D' Bridal Attendant DJ Videographer/Photographer Limo Florist Altar boys Hair/Makeup artist
Is there anyone I am missing here??
Please help!!
Thank you soooo much!

Re: Question for all the Newlyweds
Matre D' - they say around $3-$5 per guest. We had 150 and tipped him $600 Bridal Attendant -$100 DJ $150 - so he could share with his assistant Videographer/Photographer - sorry I can't remember Limo $100 (so 2 drivers could split) Florist - I just tipped the delivery guy - $20 I think Altar boys Hair/Makeup artist - maybe $40 - I can't remember
Definitely bring extra cash with you. I didn't have a tip envelope for my bridal attendant and I really wanted to give her something. DH's brother had brought about $500 in cash with him, just in case. Are you having a cigar roller? Any other extras?
Good luck doll!!!

Re: Question for all the Newlyweds
Matre D' - $500 for ~160 people Bridal Attendant - $200 (she was terrific!) DJ - $100 (he was awesome) Videographer/Photographer - $100 each Limo - $80 but he took me to WM and then back home Florist - $20 to the delivery guy but that was generous. He was 1/2 hour late Altar boys - none Hair/Makeup artist - 20% of the tab

Re: Question for all the Newlyweds
Matre D' - $400 Bridal Attendant - $120 DJ - $100 (there was more in there at the beginning of the evening but his performance left much to be desired so $ was taken out!) Videographer/Photographer - $100 each Limo - included in our contract, we only tipped $20 to the guy who picked us up Florist - had $20 for the delivery person but they came in and dropped everything off and left...i never had a chance to see the delivery person! Altar boys - didnt have any Hair/Makeup artist - about $70 each (my BM's each tipped the girls as they were being done so i'm not sure of the EXACT amount)
