Spinoff to Tipping.....Church Question

You need to tip the organist?????

At my church I'm required to give her $200 (even if I didn't have her playing)...I need to tip her in addition to that???

I dunno what proper 'etiquette' is...but I do not plan on giving her a dime more than I am forced to.

I agree. I am still so upset that our 'donation' is $600 and on top of that we have to give $400 Cash the day of, to assure that we will be there on time. If the wedding start more than 15 minutes late, we lose the $400.

Really..are they going to chase you out with a broom if you don't tip them? Who does the tipping that day anyway? I'm not carrying money and I don't think FH is, nor are we going to be worrying about giving out tips, so who goes around tipping these people.

Bestman...either ones father...designated person you guys want to do the tipping

We had to pay $200.00 for an organist and singer and that's all they're getting- plus we have to pay $400.00 for the church and $200.00 for pre-cana!!

That's insane!!! I mean maybe $100 I could see, but $400?!

I wasn't really planning on tipping the organist since we also have to pay a retainer whether we use them or not.

My DOC is giving out all the tips, but if you aren't using one I'd say someone's dad should do it.
