Help with tipping amounts!

I am making up ranges but have no idea if I'm in the right ballpark.

Can you please post (or FM me) what you gave your vendors - I'D SO GREATLY appreciate it!!!!

This is what we are figuring:

Band - $50 per member

Photographer - $75 for each photographer (we have 2) and videographer,
$50 for their two assistants

Maitre d - Hall suggests $3-$5 per guest. So, we'll probably give about $800.

Bridal Attendant - $100.

Limo drivers - we already are paying gratuity but will give an extra $50 per driver.

I hope that's it... let me know if I'm missing someone.

I am not going tip crazy. I am tipping the Maitre D. if any of my vendors (who all own their own businesses) go above and beyond, they will get tipped.

yes, i think you should. i know they charge an arm and a leg anyway, but to throw then an extra $20 is fine

I am definitely down to the bottom of the barrel, ya know? I'm going to tip what I can and hopefully that is good enough. In the end it's A LOT.
