How do u....

Tip everyone??? I know that at the end of the night you give it to photosphere, Dj etc

But for example the limo drivers....with everything going on when u get dropped off I have to take the time to find my envelopes and tip the drivers? All this tipping is stressing me out and I find it annoying. I feel like I'm taking care of all my bills ahead of time but now I am stressing about all this.

This is stressing me out too cause im thinking I gotta have a stack of envelopes with a whole bunch of money. I was thinking to have my dad hold it for me??? but i would like to know what other brides did too

It still blows my mind that after already paying so much for a service we still have to tip!!

My sister in law just got married and she did not have them counted out and was counting money at the end of the night at her table. I love her but did not like the way she did it. I will have it counted out before hand and maybe just in our room safe since we will have a room at the place we are getting married.

For my engagement party, I prepared all my tip envelopes ahead of time. I explained to my sister how I wanted to tip, depending on service for photographer, bridal attendant, and photographer. Then I left it up to her. She is also my MOH, and she is so organized. She got it all done without me needing to be involved.

At the end of the night, I realized I wanted to tip the bartender (who was giving the bridal party shots all night, despite the no shot rule). The venue didn't mention him as someone that we should tip, and my guests were tipping him all night, but I wanted him to have something from us too. My dad handled that, though. So, it really worked out perfectly. I guess the best thing is to prepare the tips ahead of time and leave them with someone you trust who is very organized. One less thing for you to worry about!

It's crazy! I was just talking with FMIL about this especially with the hair/makeup person. I mean the woman OWNS her own business...she's pocketing all the cash. It bothers me I have to tip on top of that, but thats the way it goes unfortunately :( I can understand the bridal attendant and stuff b/c she's gonna be with me from like 10 AM to 1 AM. That's a long day and if she is taking care of me she deserves it.

Agreed, count it out in envelopes and label them, have your MOH or dad/ mom do it for you(handing them out)

I was going to have my FFIL handle it. He did that at my FSIL's wedding. He's an accountant, so he's really good at budgeting, figuring out the cash/checks we need, etc.

This is what I'm thinking I called my FMIL and asked her if FFIL could take care of it. I def don't trust the best man lolol

I'll probably leave it up to my dad. None of my bridal party can be trusted, ESPECIALLY the best man lol. My dad doesn't drink ever.. Maybe a beer here or there. So I know he'll be probably the only one of sound mind at the end of the night lol
