Re: help with tips

I don't know either

I don't plan on tipping those who are coming who own the business. I think that is right? Also, when you go searching for brides dresses - not buying, just looking - do you tip them?

Re: help with tips

Good! - So far I plan on tipping the Matre-D (however you spell it) The video guy owns it, dunno about the florist, the band is owned by the lead singer - do I tip him? I'm confused too and I hate giving out so much money!

Re: help with tips

Re: help with tips

I was going to post asking the same question..from what Ive read in all of my books.,..if they own teh business you dont tip them..if tehyw ork for soemone ..you do tip them. I dont know if its right or not..maybe Ill post something on the newlyweds and see what they have done. It does get confusing..and very expensive..
