So of course I left figuring out tips until the last minute and now FH is out golfing with all the men. So now I need your help!!
Who exactly do I tip? Can you girls share your projected tips?
Also, do I tip the DJ company all separately (like the MC, DJ, lighting person, singers), or as one big tip that they will divide themselves?

Re: Tip Help
Also, do you give the photography company one big tip, or divide it up between the different people there?

Re: Tip Help
This is what we did Ash.
Altar servers - $20 each Organist - $25 Singer - $25 Limo drivers - $75 each Bridal Attendant - $250 Photogs - $100 each Videog - $100 Band - $50 each person Hair - $75 Makeup - $75
HTH!!! 1 more day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ETA: I would split up the DJ's tips per person. You dont want them decided who gets how much, you know. One person might go above and beyond and you might want to give them more. This happened to us with the band.

ITA with most of these - except maybe if you have a main photographer vs. secondary photographer you might want to give the main one $150 and the secondary $50 or $75.
also, i only plan on giving $25 pp for the band since it is a 9 piece and they're already getting paid $7K
HTH
you're sooooooooo close!!!!!
