Tip question

I'm going to the bank today and I wanted to put my envelopes in order and I was wondering if my thoughts on who and what to tip were actually on the money (pardon the pun!)

Thanks
Pam

Re: Tip question

Here is what I've found out so far for recommended tips:

The matre d at the hall should get about $3 for every guest at the reception. The bridal attendent should get $50. The tips for the wait staff are usually added to the catering bill (about 17-18%). The DJ and MC, or each member of the band, should get about $50 a piece. The limo driver should get 20%, unless it's already included in the limo contract price. If you are having a Catholic ceremony each Altar boy should get $40-50. Hair stylists and make-up artists get 20%. The photographer, videographer, and florist do not usually get tips.
