Help me with tips!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was doing my envelopes this week and I feel like I'm tipping people too much or not enough. Please help :(

DJ -- the DJ I am using owns the company, we already already paying 2K+ (with all the add ons) -- How much should I tip the OWNER? Do I have to tip at all? Right now I have $100 in his envelope but I feel that I already paid him a lot.

MC -- I feel that $100 is good since he's not the owner

Flower Delivery -- $30

Videographer -- My videographer is the owner of the company, right now I have $100 in the envelope - is that to much? I'm already paying $1400 for the services.

Officiant -- No tip, he's already getting $500 for 1/2 hour of his time

Makeup/Hair -- Both are owners of the company, and are doing every person in my bridal party so they are making out with at least 1K that day, no tip (unless i get extremely over the top service)

Photo booth attendant - $50

Maitre De- $400 ($3.50ish per person)

Bridal Attendant - $100

Photographer -- He's a friend of mine with a ton of experience. I gave him $60 for doing our engagement shoot and he didn't want any money at all for my wedding, but I gave him $250 last week and I told him I'm going to give him $250 more. he didn't even want to take that

Be honest -- what do you think?? I only have a few more days to fix the tip envelopes

I agree with you on the hair and makeup getting no tip but so many people think differently on this so that's why I'm caving in and giving $25 (hair I only gave $20 because my style is so simple). If you choose not to tip I think that's fine. It's completely up to you.
