Re: another tipping question

I didn't tip the florist but I think I left two $10s in the envelope for the people who came to help her set up. I don't know if she got that or what since I wasn't there during the set-up.

I didn't tip the officiant, but we were already paying him a LOT.

The limo and shuttle drivers I only tipped $20 each (there were 3 total) over what I pre-paid which included gratuity, on the day-of.

But, yeah... I tipped everyone else involved (well, not the bartenders, but I was told the maitre d' would share with them and the waiters).

Do you know if you're supposed to tip the seamstress that does the bridal alterations? If so, is there a guideline of how much? TIA

I didnt! And I didnt tip the videographer because he owned the company as well!

ETA: I didnt tip the DJ either because he was the owner! I know some people are probably thinking Im one cheap b!tch but when your footing the $25,000 bill you have to cut back somewhere.
