Tipping

How much are you supposed to tip each vendor? I'm trying to figure out just how much money we need to set aside for tips and I'm kinda lost.

Do limo people get a tip even if 20% gratuity is already included in the price on the contract???

Also, my BMs will be paying for their own hair/make-up. Am I supposed to pay their tip, or do BMs usually pay their own tips for hair/make-up??

Here is the list of vendors that I think I need to tip. Am I missing anyone??

- Band ($25 per musician? - do you also tip the sound crew (if there is one)??)
- Flower Delivery
- Photographer
- Photographer Assistant
- Videographer
- Maitre D
- Bridal Attendant
- Alter boys/girls
- Hair (20% of cost?)
- Make-up (20% of cost?)
- Limos (not sure if we tip bc gratuity already included)
- Valet (Do we skip tipping valet because the guests tip??)

TIA!!!

Good idea

I recently made a post on tipping on BHB and someone sent me the knots tipping cheat sheet on that thread... it's very helpful. and def brought down the cost of my tipping budget.. it went from $3500 to $2000

Thanks girls!!
