We're not having altar servers I don't think because we're not having a mass.

I think the Organist gets paid, so I really wasn't planning on tipping him

My choir, which I am a aprt of , may be singing. if so, i'll pribably give them each a wedding favor.

Sorry I know that was not too helpful.

It seems kind of absurd to be tipping altar servers to me, but I know it';s done and they are giving up their time.

yeah I feel like we should give them a little something. I was thinking $10 for each server (maybe $15 if it's just one). And then the organist and singer maybe like $15 each?

Maybe for the kids a gift card or something?

I'm really involved in my church so I at least tangentally know the kids.

Is it true that you HAVE to tip the altar boys even if you are having a ceremony??

---

you don't HAVE to tip anyone in my opinion (obviously depending on the situation and service you get) but I just feel like this kid(s) gave up part of their Saturday to to the service at our wedding, we should give them a little something.

Psh, so were we. Our nasty asss altar server (who's frightening face was in the bg of many of our pro photos) tapped DH on the shoulder while we were still in the middle of our receiving line and said 'You have to tip the altar server and that's me.' Uhhh, a little busy here, don't ya think?!

But as for the original question- no, we didn't tip the priest/organist. The organist got paid to be there with part of the church fees and I believe priests aren't supposed to accept tips.

And yes, you should tip the altar servers even for a ceremony only. I was an altar server as a kid and it's more work than you think, plus those robes are damn hot! lol!

$10 per altar server
$25 each to the organist, soloist and musician (having a violin also)

...
Didnt even thohght of this


I have no idea...

Maybe $10...
Sorry but i have no money left

$20 for the alter servers

Not sure about everyone else but prob about $15 - if the organist get's paid from our 'donation' they won't get anything.

One of the singers is a friend of ours so she won't get a tip not sure of the other singer though.

I have to schedule our final meeting with the church.

But in all honesty I wouldn't tip more then $20 for any person in regard to the church.

you know I didn't even think about that - the organist and singer are covered in our 'donation'. So I guess we'll just do the alter servers.

thanks!
