Tipping...

So, I just read MrsB2B's post about tipping and it got me thinking - what are we supposed to be tipping our vendors?
So, if you wouldn't mind, could we share what we're going to be giving:

a. officiant (inc. altar boys/girls)
b. photographer
c. limo driver
d. makeup artists
e. hair stylist
f. maitre d
g. wait staff (if separate from maitre d)
h. DJ/Band

anyone else I miss?

Bartenders
Valet
Bathroom Attendants
Coat check people
Flower delivery people
Assistants to the photog, video, etc.

I don't think you HAVE to tip these people, but I'm throwing them out there in case you want to.
