I gave Barbara either $500 or $700 - can't remember which. I gave the waitstaff captain $200 for his team. I gave the bridal attendant $100. I wish I had given more. They were all AMAZING.

Uh oh, I don't think we budgeted for that much. Is that really necessary (to tip the wait staff) since they charge 20% gratuity? I think Barbara told me they pool it all anyway.

It isn't necessary. I specifically asked Barbara if I could tip the wait staff and she advised that a few bucks would be appreciated but was NOT necessary because she splits up her tip with them.
