Re: Need some help with tipping advice
Not sure yet for all of them, but there is a tipping thread that I'll try and find for you.
just wanted to mention that I would tip the photographer & videographer a little bit more- because you will see them again & you want fast turnaround on album & video

this is a rough estimate because i honestly can't remember, and we didn't write down our tips
Videographer - $75 or $100 (he rocked) Photographer - $50 or $100 EACH - can't remember DJ/MC - $100 each (they rocked) Maitre'd - $400 based on their 'guideline' Bridal Attendant - $50 - (she sukked) Florist for delivery - $25, there wasn't much to deliver Limo Drivers - I think DH gave him $50 - too much; on the way there we gave $25 (only one pickup/dropoff)

yeah i was thinking just in general they would get more, but i am unsure what is somewhat typical

Videographer $100 Photographer $100 DJ/MC $100/$50 Maitre'd $300 Bridal Attendant $75 Limo Drivers $50 each there were 2
What about your officiant? We gave ours $50, alter boys get $5 each. Can't think of anyone else. HTH!
I wish we gave out Bridal Attendant more though bc she was AMAZING!

ooohhhhh right altatr boys and FH feels very strongly about that b/c he was one back in the day....s it typical to tip the priest? we are having a traditional full mass in a catholic church and i am clueless if a tip is typical or insulting...i have zero of an idea....thaks for making me think of it though

i didn't tip mine. i thought a $500 'donation' was enough.

Re: Need some help with tipping advice
You're welcome! I think he would appreciate the gesture, I don't think the priest would be insulted. We put our tip in a nice card.
