Please look at my Tips

Please tell me if my list is ok and if there is anything you think I can change or people i need to add

2 Photogs - $100 each
Videographer - $100
DJ - $100
MC - $100
Percussionist - $75
Lighting Tech - $50
Matred - $300 (based on my 150 minimum - if i have more people it will go up)
Bridal Attendant - $75
Alter boys - $10 each
Hair and makeup - $50 (that is 20 percent)

Now a few question marks

Florist - does the guy who delivers the boq's do the cp and if he does is $25 enough?

For limos if your tip is included are you tipping - how much?

DOC - how much are you tipping yours?

I cannot believe I need an extra 1k for tips

mmmMMMmmmmmMMMMMmmmm what nice tips you have....

I think those amounts are fine! I would tip the limo driver an extra $20 if he's really good.

Everything else seems good.

how much does your hall recommend to tip the maitre'd?

mine told me 3-5 so I would say maybe increase that to at least $450 (unless your place told you less)

I think our church told us how much we needed to tip the altar boys - maybe it was like $25 each? I don't recall. Also, are you having an organist or singer fromt he church during your ceremony? They may require a tip as well.

Florist delivery person - $25 is MORE then enough, I planned on giving like $10

Maitre'd - I would up that a little.

DOC - I think I've seen most girls give $100- $150, but we are giving more then that.

my florist is the house florist, so he is on site and will be doing the cp's.....i feel like i should give him something extra, but i won't see him that day.

For photo, video, dj/mc, did you do that as a % of anything? Or you just decided on $100? I havent figured out my tips yet so I was just wondering.

DOC I would def. do at least $100.

ETA: Limos...maybe $50-75? Is that too little?

my DJ said 20 percent of the bill but that is 600 - i think that is way too much

that is what i was thinking with the DOC

i don't want to do that much with limo because there tip is included in our price

That's looking good.......right about where we are. The only difference is,I'm giving my photographer $200.00 & assistant $100.00. Everything else is about the same. I feel the photographer is going to be with me the longest that day, so the photo crew should get a bit more.
