we tipped the altar boys (girls..) too...

and the florist maybe? I tipped the delivery guy that dropped the bouquets at my house...he also did the reception set up...

heres what i did

2 photographers--$75 for the main $50 for the photojourn
1 video guy---$75
hair/makeup---$20 each (from me plus $20 from everyone that got done, so they made about $100 each that day)
one DJ--$50
one MC--$75
the bridal attendant--$50
the maitre D--$300....$3 for each guest
2 limo drivers---$50 each...we wound up giving more for joe the owner who dropped us off at the end of the night because he did an amazing job for us.

No prob! I probably wouldn't have thought of the altar boys - if the church hadn't specifically mentioned tipping them to us...gotta love the church
