i'm too lazy to go thru that search list and threads so i have this list saved on my computer:
List of People Who Should be Tipped & Avg. Amounts: Tipping can get kind of crazy! it basically seems like you must tip everyone. This is a list of just about EVERYONE who might expect/typically receives a tip. You do NOT have to tip everyone on this list--I just wanted to give the full amount of people:
-Seamstress -Hair stylist -Make-up person -Church music person/and or musicians -Florist Delivery person -Florist set up people -Limo Driver (yes their grat is included, but it's spread out among different people, it's usually standard to give them a few bucks) -Photographer -Photog Asst. -Videographer -DJ -MC -(And sometimes musicians if you are having them at ceremony, CH, or reception) -Matire D' (typically $2-$4 a person at reception) -Bridal Attendant -Valet Attendants
These are optional people--but since I worked in the service industry for years, I will probably give a little something: -Bartenders -Individual Waiters during reception
Amounts vary from one wedding to another. I only included an actual amount for the maitre d' as that seems to be kind of standard. As for the rest--do what you can afford and makes you comfortble. Excluding the matire d', tips can range from just $20-300; with lots of variances in between.

Re: Tipping
on the same note....do we have to tip the stylist and artist for day of make-up and hair??? its usually not customary to tip the owner of a business and since in a sense they own it on top of the cash for the service should we tip again???
would love to hear opinions?? Thanks :)

Re: Tipping
I get depressed when I look at the tipping list, I think I'm going to need an armored truck with me the day of the wedding.

Re: Tipping
This is a bit crazy and not too mention if you are not using the house vendors they make you pay half price for the meals of these people which can add up.
