Making my Tipping/Final payment envelopes...and I have a question!

Okay, so I know/think the 'thing' with tipping, is that ya tip anyone who provided a service for you that day, right?

So that does NOT include the florist, right?

This is who I am worrying about tipping, correct?
-Bridal Attendant
-Matri'd
-Photographer's Assistant
-Hair Stylist (but its the owner of the company??)
-Hair Stylist assistant
-Make-up Artist
-Bartenders
-All servers for the reception
-Limo drivers (2)
-DJ? (He is the only one there but he owns the company)

Anyone else I'm forgetting? Anyone above I shouldn't tip?

One biggy is the musician for the ceremony and the officiant - they are both a 'one-man-show' and the regular payment money is going directly in their pockets. Do I tip, too???

Thank you so much in advance for your help on this.

i would check your RH contract b/c ususally the waitstaff is included unless you mean you are giving them extra.

I would tip the band/officiant at least a small amount....JMO

you are way ahead of the game girl!!!

you do not have to tip the servers or the bartenders at the RH.....for the RH you jsut worry about the Bridal attendant and the Matri'D

also....you just have the photog asst.....does you photog own the co.?

I still tip everyone whether or not they own the co but thats just me.

I always wondering about tipping the limo people... since they're already getting 20%, right?!

My friend from work is in Australia where apparently you don't tip anyone...bartendars, hair stylists. I wish that was the case here. Just bake the d@mn tip into the price

It depends on your limo company - mine doesn't include the 20% for gratuity.

ok, phew

I was gonna say.. i feel like 20% is more than enough.

I just hate this whole tipping process. It's turned into something that is just a flat out expected percentage and doesn't have much to do with good service. Trust me, I'm def not one to skimp out on tips, I just hate the process!!!

We tipped the florist who brought over the bo-ks, corsages, etc. - I think I gave the delivery person like $20.

Our RH told us we didn't have to tip the bartenders or wait staff.
