Help tipping DJ

my DJ is a professional friend... he gave me a great rate...

I was thinking of tipping him $200. is this good? Now...
he said he is bring a #2...

how much do I have to tip this other guy? and do I tip them all together or do i give them separate envelopes. I do not know how this works??

i think i'm tipping my MC $100 and my DJ $75 .... i would give the other guy a 'regular' tip (not inflated because he's a friend of your friend)

Our DJ was DH's professional friend, he gave us a great price and we tipped him $150.00. He had an asst. (his son).

Re: Help tipping DJ

So should I give $200 in one envelope for them to split... or should I do something were i put say $150 in one envelope and $50 in another??

I think the 2 envelope idea is good~one with $150 and one with $50

I actually think the opposite. I would go with one envelope for them to split.

Now I'm still torn. One envelope or two? More brides share your opinions please!

I think $200 is good.
As for the other person it depends on who it is. Is it a roadie? Another actual DJ? Find that out first.

And if you want your friend to get a specific amount tip them seperately.
