Re: Sorry HAve to ask...

I was just looking through my bridal book of ettiquette because I was stumped on the same question, apparantly ( according to the book) you tp between two and four dollars per guest( For the Maitre'd). And if by attendants you mean what gift do you give to Maids of honor and bridesmaids ( Im not sure if thats what you meant)..but is just depends on you. Most give jewelry of some sort. I am stumped on what do you tip people who own their own company? Some say you dont tip them if they are the owners of their own company..but my handy dandy ettiqutte book doesnt go there, so Im not sure. Let me know when you know!!

The maitre'D gets between $2 - $5 depending on the size of your party & how long it runs (4-6 hours +)

The Bridal Attendant is more difficult, b/c different attendants do different things. If she is helping the coordination & some of the planning & helping w/photographs, the servers & keeping your BP together before you are presented, then give her a bit more than someone who just presents BP & B&G into the dinner, like $75 - 100 for the evening, especially if she says through to the end & m,akes certain your table items are cleaned & collected.

Usually, most disasters are avoided b/c of the BA & maitre'D, but the Bride is unaware of it... that's what makes them good at what they do
